"More than 40 bestselling and award-winning authors and presenters will gather at Mohegan Sun resort on February 1-2, 2013 for the first annual Big Book Club Getaway, benefiting The Alzheimer’s Association and sponsored by Chicken Soup for the Soul.
Chicken Soup for the Soul’s publisher and author Amy Newmark will deliver a keynote speech on Friday, February 1, at 6:30 pm on the power of storytelling, positive thinking, and pursuing your passion, as well as providing some tips for aspiring writers. Chicken Soup for the Soul will provide complimentary books for all attendees. Other speakers include Brad Meltzer, a contributor to Chicken Soup for the Soul, who is the number one bestselling political suspense author and host of the History Channel show Decoded, and Leeza Gibbons, another contributor to Chicken Soup for the Soul, who is the renowned talk show host, author and philanthropist.

“The Big Book Club Getaway moves the book conversation from the living room to a fabulous resort,” said Amy Newmark, publisher, editor-in-chief, and author of Chicken Soup for the Soul. “I can’t wait to meet my neighbors as we spend two days discussing books and what we love about reading. I look forward to inspiring the audience with some of my favorite Chicken Soup for the Soul stories and discussing what I have learned about life from our books. I also look forward to sharing some writing tips with the talented women in the audience.”
