Here are photos of BAIPA members Janet Faulkner Chapman and Ciji Ware at the 1-year anniversary of Book Passage by-the-Bay in Sausalito, on April 28, 2018. The store was packed with local authors, fans, yummy treats, including the special cake for the store and the birthday cake for one of the authors, Mike Denney, who celebrated his 87th birthday.
I encourage BAIPA members to visit this jewel of a bookstore located in the heart of downtown Sausalito at 100 Bay Street. It is right on the water, with views of the harbor. This is the bookstore of your dreams.

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!
