Scott Norton, president of Publishing Professionals Network, has announced a new student category to the organization’s highly regarded book design competition.
Entries may include books, covers, jackets, ebooks, and product catalogs across all genres, and submissions are due August 1. Student entries, which are half-price, must be from a book design project produced at a North American college-level graphic arts program. Membership in PPN is not required. Enter here.
Winners will be displayed at PPN’s Annual Book Show held at Chronicle Books in San Francisco in October 2017, and showcased in its Annual Book Show catalog.

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
