Here’s a quote from story in NYT:
On the first Monday in June I checked the Kindle Single sales rankings, having last looked a month before, when “Boom” was still hanging on at about No. 40. Now I couldn’t find it in the top 100. Oh well, I thought, can’t be a best seller forever.
I then went to the Amazon page for “Boom,” to savor any new reviews. A message appeared: “We’re sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site.” I checked my Amazon author page, and then iTunes and Barnes & Noble. “Boom” had vanished. Poof. As if it had never existed.
…
Meanwhile, I’m back to planning my next book. I don’t yet know on what subject. But I do know its form: in hard copy, between covers, a book I can put on the shelf and look at forever, even if it doesn’t sell.

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.
