Hello, BFFs!
We have exciting news. We’re heading to Vegas this November for Author Nation 2025, and we’re not just attending; we’re proud to be sponsoring too!
The BookFunnel team will be at Author Nation all week (November 3–7) at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas, NV. We can’t wait to connect with authors, discuss ideas, and share some big new features, including our latest way to connect with readers in the digital age: signed ebooks.
Hear From BookFunnel’s CEO Damon Courtney
Date/Time: Tuesday, Nov 4 @ 4:15 PM
Location: Event Center
Talk Title: The Taylor Swift Formula: Building a Fandom That Lasts in the Age of AI
What can indie authors learn from the queen of fandom herself? Join Damon Courtney, creator and CEO of BookFunnel, as he shares how authors can turn casual readers into lifelong fans by building genuine connections, community, and trust—even in an AI-saturated world.
You’ll discover why community beats algorithms every time, learn practical strategies for engaging readers authentically, and find out how to prepare your platform for whatever the industry does next.
Workshop: Signed Ebooks and Superfans

Reader Nation — Come Say Hi!
Whether you love Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Cozy, Horror, LGBTQ+, or anything in between—Reader Nation is the perfect place to be. The BookFunnel team will be there handing out free Reader Starter Kits, filled with ebooks from various genres so readers can discover new authors on the spot.
We’ll also have a limited number of ebooks delivered with our Print Codes feature from well-known authors like Becca Syme, Joanna Penn, Russell Nohelty, Johnny B. Truant, and more. These print codes are one-time-use download cards for ebooks or audiobooks that you can redeem instantly.
Swing by our table to grab your kit, say hello, and pick up a few goodies.
(Print codes are first come, first served while supplies last!)
See You in Vegas!
We’re proud to sponsor Author Nation 2025, and we’re excited to spend a week with so many amazing authors and readers.
