Thank you to BAIPA Member Michael Larsen for bringing this important development to our attention. I recall my SEO mentor telling me a few years ago, “Sandra, stop obsessing over the green dots. Someday SEO will be replaced by something else you’ll have to learn.” Well, that someday is here. Read on for an Introduction to GEO by Reedsy co-founder Ricardo Fayet.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the way users search on the internet, and that includes the way readers search for books.
If we want our books to be “discoverable” in the future, it’s crucial we understand how Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) works.

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!
