Here’s a reminder from our friends at the Publishing Professionals Network about the 46th Annual Book Show, on October 26 in San Francisco: ​

 PPN’s Book Show, now in its 46th year, is the Bay Area’s opportunity to celebrate  an aspect of books that will never change—the beauty and functionality of  exceptional design.

For the first time in the show’s history, we invited student entries from graphic design schools, and the projects submitted ranged from production-ready to handmade works of art.

Thursday, October 26, 2017
5:30 to 8:00 PM
Chronicle Books, 4th Floor
680 Second Street, San Francisco
This special evening of networking with publishing colleagues will feature:
  • Displays of this year’s book show winners and e ntrants
  • Presentation of the annual Distinguished Service Award
  • Snacks and beverages, including wine and beer (no-host bar)
All proceeds from the event will go toward free-attendance scholarships for the annual PPN Conference.

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
