50 ShadesjpgFifty Shades of Grammar: Scintillating and Saucy Sentences, Syntax, and Semantics from The Grammar Diva (Arlene Miller) is now available in paperback from Amazon and all other online retailers—and of course at the BAIPA meetings starting December 12. The book is a collection of 50 blog posts from the past (almost) three years of the Grammar Diva Blog. Included are posts about grammar, punctuation, words, holidays, and even aliens! Fifty Shades of Grammar makes a good holiday gift for your favorite word lover or word-lover-to-be (hint, hint).

Arlene has had two recent radio interviews:

Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA President, CEO of Pro Audio Voices Inc and AMPlify Audiobooks

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
