BAIPA member Laurie McAndish King will be teaching two writing classes at the Central Coast Writer’s Conference, September 18th to 20th. The first, “Travel Memoir—Navigating the Wilds of Your Soul” focuses on the seven essential elements of a great travel memoir, emphasizing the way internal landscapes can illuminate external ones. The second class, “From Sense to Sensuality—Enliven any Genre” explores the ways writers can add depth, increase suspense, and create atmosphere with sensual prose. Laurie will also participate in a panel discussion about a travel memoir with novelist Peter Nichols, author of The Rocks and the international bestsellers A Voyage for Madmen and Evolution’s Captain.

Authors
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
