During the two–day event, participants will have the opportunity to go to the discussion thread and answer any of the questions they want. However, it is encouraged that participants answer as many questions as possible, rather than the metaphorical bare minimum. Likewise, it is encouraged that members ask as many questions as possible.

It is not required nor expected that members or participants attend the event in full. Feel free to spend as much or as little time as you see fit. However, note that the more participation there is, the better the event will run!

Participants also have the option of hosting a giveaway either exclusive to BNU members or to anyone taking part in the AIE & Indie Author Day events hosted by Adventures with Asia Minor. As the giveaway host, participants can design the giveaway however they may choose. This also means that they can choose whomever they want. BNU is not responsible for any part of this process.

FAQs

I'm an author. What happens if I don't register in time? Can I still participate in the interview?
» If you do not register, you still can participate. However, I cannot do any promotions related to you. I can't advertise your giveaway, if applicable. I also cannot include you on the author line up.

I'm an author. Why would I want to host a giveaway?
» If you choose to host a giveaway, you can advertise your book, while simultaneously getting more attention and hopefully more reviews and ratings for your book. Remember, you can set the requirements!

I'm a member. How will I know what giveaways are offered? How do I enter?
» Authors are supposed to register by November 3. I will know by then what giveaways are being offered. I am hoping to post a list by then of the authors participating, as well as the books they are giving away.
» After I post the list, a thread will be open for you to choose which book giveaways you'd like to enter. You will not be eligible to win any giveaways unless you participate in the AIE.

I'm a member. How will I know if I won a author–sponsored giveaway?
» Short answer: I don't know.
» Long answer: Because the giveaways are sponsored by the author, BNU is not responsible for the giveaways. Thus, I will not know if you have won any giveaways.
