Preparations are well underway for our next Writer’s World on September 8. This year, the event will be at Guzman Hall on the beautiful Dominican campus. Some of our very own BAIPA members will be presenting, and we’re expecting attendees from all over the Bay Area.
These groups are on our list to invite. If you have additional suggestions, let us know!
- Sisters in Crime Norcal
- San Francisco Area Romance Writers of America
- Horror Writers Association, SF Bay Chapter;
- Fantasy writers (anyone know of a group?)
- Redwood Writers
- California Writers Club
- SF Writers Grotto
We also plan to reach out to schools in the Bay Area that offer writing programs.
- SF State University
- Dominican University
- USF
- California College of the Arts
- San Jose State
- Saint Mary’s
If you have more ideas for outreach, please send them to me.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!

Current BAIPA members do not need to register for our monthly meetings. The night before the meetings, they will receive the Zoom info. For workshop registration, currently, members get in free for all workshops and will receive the Zoom info the night before the meetings, as well as in the confirmation email.


In case others need to look it up, as I did, Dominican College is San Rafael, on the bay side of the freeway.
