BAIPA, which is totally run and managed by volunteers, is now recognizing volunteers with valuable prizes for their contributions. Sandra McGee, who stepped up at the beginning of this year to help with blog postings, is the first recipient. She was recognized at the November meeting.
Sandra McGee, recipient of a new BAIPA volunteer recognition.
The valuable prize? A book by a BAIPA author. The recipient chooses the book he or she wants and BAIPA purchases it. It’s win-win: The deserving volunteer gets a “free” book and one of our authors gets a sale. We plan to make this a somewhat regular recognition.
The book Sandra chose was Arlene Miller’s The Best Little Grammar Book Ever! Congratulations to Sandra and Arlene.
Hint, hint: To be considered for this valuable prize, all you need to do is volunteer. Here are some ways you can do so — Volunteer with BAIPA.
If you’d like to volunteer, contact a member of the board or send an email to webmaster@baipa.org.

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
