If you want to learn how to publish your ebook and make it more discoverable, desirable, and enjoyable to readers, you won’t want to miss our June 13 meeting featuring Mark Coker, founder of the ebook pioneer Smashwords. He’ll be returning to BAIPA to share 16 evergreen best practices for ebook publishing.
In his morning presentation, “The Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success,” you’ll learn about the latest trends in ebook publishing, how to breathe new life into your older books, and achieve greater success with your upcoming books.
In the afternoon, he’ll present “The Book Launch: How to Use Ebook Preorders and Presales to Sell More Books.”
For most authors, the first few days of their book launch are their best selling days of the year, after which sales decline. For indie authors, most of those sales will be ebooks. In this session, authors will learn how to use ebook preorders and ebook presales to maximize the success of their book launches.
Mark Coker founded Smashwords in 2008 to empower authors to self-publish and distribute ebooks. Today, Smashwords has grown to become the world’s leading distributor of self-published ebooks, representing over 140,000 authors and small independent presses around the world that publish and distribute over 500,000 books with Smashwords.

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!
