GLBBA: Great Lakes Book Blogger Alliance

Hi Fellow Book Bloggers!,

I've searched and searched and I've been unable to find an existing Michigan based or even regional active group for book bloggers.  So I decided to start one!  I'm in the beginning stages of forming a group, which I've named GLBBA: Great Lakes Book Blogger Alliance. All bloggers from the Great Lake states (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and New York) are welcome!  Most of the events will be held in Michigan, so if you are willing to travel to Michigan we'll be happy to have you!   

We'll have our own group website were we can post information and communicate with each other.  We'll be scheduling and organizing annual meet-up events to get together and eat, drink, share ideas, play games and hold a few giveaways. All the standard bookish fun stuff.  We can also look into having mini meet-ups biannually. 

Once our membership starts to grow, we'll be working to get authors and publishers and other representatives from the industry to attend our annual event.

What do you think? Anyone want to join in on this at the ground level?  Reply to this post and we'll get in contact.

Happy Reading,
~Tamara
***edited to include MN  :-)

This is such a great idea. It's too bad Minnesota isn't part of the group, since part of the state does border Lake Superior.

I'd love to be a part of the Alliance. I'm not able to travels, though. But if you need help promoting online and other small things like that, I can definitely help out.

Woot, I'm in! I'm in the Lansing area :D. If you are going for Great Lakes, then MN should totally be included since it's very much on a Great Lake ;-). Being a graduate student, I don't have a lot of extra time, but I could help with small stuff if you needed! Let me know and I'll tell you when/if I can help :)

Hi Anya,

Thanks for offering some help! Whatever you can do will be great. I'll contact you as things arise. I added MN to the group. I basically wanted to grab all the states that are close to Michigan. The more the merrier! :-)
