There has been a change in plans for our October 11, 2014 meeting. Our scheduled speaker and workshop leader, Amy Collins, has been waylaid by mechanical difficulties. We will let you all know when we can reschedule her presentation and workshop, “How Your Book Can Succeed in the Marketplace.”
We do hope you will join us for our meeting. We have a surprise presentation for you. Judy Baker, branding expert and owner of brandvines, will facilitate an interactive presentation on how to create and promote your personal brand to help you sell more books. She will share examples of branding that have worked for her clients.
You will learn what you can do to boost your visibility, like-ability and engage with your audience. She will demonstrate what you can do right now to start building your fan-base and keep it growing.

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!
—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
