Thanks to those of you who submitted your book blurbs for our contest. Unlike the cover contest, we are sharing the slides in advance because it takes more time and attention to evaluate a blurb than a cover.
We’ll be voting on the blurbs at the May 7 meeting. You need not be present to win, but you must be present to vote. We said before that everyone at the meeting will get three votes, but we’re changing that from three to one, because some categories only have three entries.
Here are the entries, divided into four categories — memoir, nonfiction, children’s, and fiction.
Thanks for participating. Winners will get a free workshop in 2022.

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
