In case we haven’t told you enough times, here’s another reminder that our next meeting, December 2, is focused on book design, and features a presentation by David Kudler, followed by our annual book cover contest.
We divided the 24 entries in 4 categories: Nonfiction, Memoir, Children’s/YA, and Fiction. Thank you to all members who submitted a cover.
Below is a preview of the entries. You are welcome to share your thoughts on any of the covers in the comments — especially the ones you like and why — but you must be present at the meeting to cast a vote. We will review the covers after David’s presentation, and then we’ll have our vote. Winners in each category will receive a free workshop in 2024.
Here are all the entries. (Click on the vertical line of three dots in the bottom left to see the slides full screen.)

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
