Joel FriedlanderI just heard that Joel Friedlander, long-time self-publishing expert and former president of BAIPA, has published a new book, The Self-Publisher’s Ultimate Resource Guide, and in my humble opinion, every member of BAIPA needs to get a copy immediately.

 

Here’s a link to Joel’s blog article that ran this morning. It gives you links for whatever version you want to get, and is full of great, verified resources.  As Joel mentions in his article, best to get the ebook, because the links are all LIVE. Also, he will be updating the info on a regular basis.

 

Also, this blog article is an EXCELLENT example of what a self-publishing author can do to market his or her book.

 

Oh, and one more thing: BAIPA is listed as an organizational resource in this guide. Thank you, Joel!

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
