Until now, that is!
At the January 2023 meeting of Napa Valley Writers (a branch of the California Writers Club), I put my name in the hat for a drawing. The prize — a ticket to the all-day Writing for Hollywood Summit at the San Francisco Writers Conference, February 17, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco.
The next day, NVW president Lenore Hirsch (also a BAIPA member) informed me my name was drawn!

Book cover
For the next month, I’ll be crafting a logline and a treatment for a streaming series based on The DIVORCE SEEKERS — The Intimate Story of a Nevada Divorce Ranch Wrangler cowritten by the late William L. “Bill” McGee with yours truly.
Who else is going?

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
