About Brain to Books

Brain to Books is an author-made idea formed by Angela B. Chrysler to help “aspiring authors.” Ms. Chrysler developed Brain to Books with one goal in mind: to deliver knowledge, marketing, and events to authors at an affordable cost.

In 2015, Ms. Chrysler used the Brain to Books brand and Social Media to launch the first ever Brain to Books Cyber Convention and Book Expo, or #B2BCyCon for short. In 2016, #B2BCyCon returned, uniting 800 readers and authors from 18 countries. Plans are already in motion for the 3rd annual 2017 Brain to Books Cyber Convention. In the meantime, she offers classes, articles, advice, and promo to those who need it most.

History

After retracing my Google steps back to a misplaced article on query letter writing and platform building, I realized how much of a cluttered mess the internet was for a writer. The sources are there, but finding them is grueling work. Even voracious researchers like myself have found this process tasking. My solution evolved into Brain to Books: an online ready-made beginner’s manual for the aspiring author to find those helpful links right off so they can spend more time writing.

Writing is hard. Publication doesn’t have to be.

But I didn’t stop there.

On 15 October 2014, I decided to post my own publishing journey online where others could see and I called it, “Brain to Books.” What began as a “writing journal,” evolved into a promotional engine. By April 2015, I launched the 2015 Brain to Books Cyber Convention, which collected little more than 150 authors to showcase their books online. It became a cyber Expo through Goodreads modeled after the Sci-fi Convention—only it was free… and online.

1 July 2015, I hosted the “Brain to Books Book Blast” where I punched out more than 60 authors in one day for “Indie Pride Day.” And on 25 July 2015, I launched the 35-day long blog tour featuring 150+ authors and hundreds of books shared over 15 blogs. All of this, we crammed into one tour. It. Was astounding.

As the Blog Tour settled down, I launched Brain to Books Bloggers. Soon after, I founded the “Starving Artist Foundation” which isn’t really a foundation. The name was just catchy.

In the end, regardless of what Brain to Books is used for, it has always stood by one belief: author promotion should be affordable. In my world, knowledge is free. I adore and embrace the era when returning a kindness was payment enough. At its core, this is what Brain to Books is about.

“Really… what I see is an online convention that accepts all artists—authors, musicians, film makers, dancers, poets, painters, actors—and provides them the sources and the limelight they need to network… and I see this all being affordable costing us only our love for the arts.” – Angela B. Chrysler (Owner and Founder of Brain to Books)
