BAIPA member Julie Freestone and Rudi Raab will be talking about their historical novel Stumbling Stone on Monday, August 15 at the Peninsula Jewish Community Center, 800 Foster City Blvd, Foster City. The event is particularly timely in light of the death of Holocaust survivor, author and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, who spoke compellingly about the need to keep telling the stories of victims of the Nazis. Many stories about that period are on their website at stumbling-stone.com/blog.
BAIPA members also might want to check out theauthorsshow.com, an online radio program that broadcasts on five channels. Staff conducts a professional interview with authors at no charge that plays for 24 hours. They also offer marketing services for a fee. Authors Julie Freestone and Rudi Raab (Stumbling Stone) can be heard on July 12 beginning at 12:01am.

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!
