In David’s Words
Long-time member and my editor and dear friend David Colin Carr asked me to post this to BAIPA:
David Colin Carr is dying (Parkinson’s). His just published Melting Into Sweetness: Aging Gently, Dying Gladly is now on Amazon (many thanks to John Byrne Barry for tolerating my wobbly brain). He loved the breadth and depth of our community, it enriched his life and he hopes it becomes a model for more such groups.
In Becky’s Words
David is a past-president of BAIPA and has been a true gift to the indie-publishing community. His work in editing my book The Left Turn: Two Lives Worlds Apart was invaluable. As he edited, he also taught me ways to improve my writing. I have cherished our friendship and our work together, as well as our overlapping time in BAIPA. As he has blessed our community, I wish him many blessings on the next part of the living and dying journey.

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
