Testimonials from 2009 NBBF
I had a wonderful time at the Festival.....It was truly
an unforgettable experience for me. I've already told everyone in my
online writers group about it, letting them know they NEED to be there
next year.
Sophia Simmons - Phoenix AZ
Once I arrived in Houston, there was
never a moment to slow down. The. . . Festival gave me an opportunity to
network and it brought some very special people into my life. I quickly
learned I was surrounded by men and women who love the Lord. That told
me I was where I needed to be.
Sherlyn Powell - Stafford, VA
I just received a speaking
engagement thanks to my info being listed on the website of the National
Black Book Festival. In short, being listed alone--even before the
event--has paid off!
