Becky Parker GeistBecky Parker Geist, BAIPA President, is developing a new iPad app that delivers children’s content in a new, interactive way. Becky is one of the creators of DoodleeBooks (pronounced doo-di-lee-books). “I would like to extend a warm invitation to come to our launch party in San Rafael on June 7, where our creative team will share the DoodleeBooks video and vision. You can also try out the app in its current state of development.: Click here for info and to RSVP: http://bit.ly/LaunchPrty

Submissions for publishing in the DoodleeBooks store opens on May 29, coinciding with the opening of Book Expo America in NY, where Becky and her team will unveil a demo of the app. Manuscript guidelines and a link to submit manuscripts will be available at www.doodleebooks.com starting May 29.

DoodleeBooks is an interactive iPad app for kids with:

  • stories personalized with the child’s name in text and audio,
  • an audio soundtrack with narration and sound effects,
  • a creative canvas on each page allowing kids to illustrate the stories themselves
  • and then to share them!

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
