Just giving you a heads up on our upcoming events. Here is the current schedule, and the first three events have live links so you can find out more information.
Remember that for the monthly presentations, BAIPA members and any non-member ticket holders will get the Zoom info automatically the Friday evening before. However, if you are not yet a member of BAIPA, you can join before 5PM the night before the event and then get in free to the meeting the next morning.
For the workshops, everyone must register, and once you register, you will get an email with the Zoom info.

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
