We’d love to hear from you. BAIPA members are welcome to submit posts for the blog — whether you’ve got an upcoming event, hard-won publishing advice, or a story from your indie author journey worth sharing.
What to write about
Length
Most posts run 250–350 words. Longer multi-part articles are welcome too — just let us know in your submission which part you’re sending.
For event announcements
Include the date, time, full address, and your book title. Submit at least two weeks before the event so we have time to schedule it.
Photos and links
Please include a headshot and your book cover if you have them. You can also add links to events, your website, or your book’s sales page.
How to submit
Use the form on this page. Posts go out in our Sunday email blast — submit by Thursday to be considered for that week.
You must be a current BAIPA member to submit.
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
