Learn how to build this valuable skill from award-winning book designer, blogger, writer and BAIPA member Joel Friedlander.

Joel FriedlanderJoel has had remarkable success in building his email list—in fact, he has more than 40,000 people on various email lists, and they have become his primary marketing tool. Joel writes in a conversational style, mixes free information with commercial offers, and maintains a high level of engagement with his readers.  He’s been launching the careers of self-publishers since 1994 from his book design and consulting practice at Marin Bookworks (also known as “JFBookman”) in San Rafael. 

During the morning session, Joel will speak about “Authors and Email: The Missing Link?” During the afternoon session, he will deliver a two-part workshop, Joel will walk you through the steps to get yourself set up with an email system, and he will talk about how to put your email list to use.

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
