My article on monetization is currently on the website for the Independent, a magazine published by the IBPA (Independent Book Publishers Association):
I hope the article will be useful to BAIPA authors who wish to earn income from their books.
The article parallels the earlier thoughts on this subject that I offered at a 2016 BAIPA program. Details of both the article and the program, including Howard Slater’s fine video of the séance, which is now up on YouTube, can be found here.

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!
