Calling All NonFiction Writers!
For our non-fiction writers, here’s a great opportunity to attend an online conference and gather a lot of valuable information from industry pros. This year’s event focuses on marketing strategies and revenue streams for authors. The NonFiction Writers Conference, founded and managed by CEO Stephanie Chandler (our September presenter at BAIPA), is a huge hit with writers of non-fiction.

North Bay Chapter of NonFiction Authors Association
BAIPA President Becky Parker Geist just stepped up to be a local chapter leader for the North Bay for the NonFiction Authors Association. More coming on this soon! Becky will also be one of the Ask-a-Pro team at NFWC, providing brief consultations to participants.

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
