Not everyone can make it to our monthly meetings, and even some of us who come have been known to forget what we learned. So moving forward, we intend to publish a brief summary of each meeting, with slides or handouts as appropriate.
It would be great if we had one or even two folks who could volunteer for each meeting. (Though of course, we are asking you to do this out of the goodness of your heart, you can promote your book or website at the end of the post, something like: “John Byrne Barry is author of Bones in the Wash: Politics is Tough. Family is Tougher, and Wasted: Murder in the Recycle Berkeley Yard.)
Here’s an example from last meeting, though we would prefer that it be not be quite as brief.
If you’d like to volunteer for one or more meetings, please contact John Byrne Barry at johnbyrnebarry@gmail.com.

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!
