Mill Valley–based author and BAIPA board member John Byrne Barry’s second novel Wasted, a “green noir” mystery set in the Berkeley recycling world, earned a spot in the Top 100 Notables as part of Shelf Unbound’s 2016 competition for the best independently published books.
Barry’s first novel, Bones in the Wash: Politics is Tough. Family is Tougher, won last year’s BAIPA Best Book Award.
Author
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
