BAIPA members might want to check out my blog on 6/26 called “A very new format for a seminar workbook” at: blog.gordonburgett.com.
Why is it important to BAIPA folk? Because lots of us speak to other groups. And for each of us the biggest first hurdle is the kind of workbook or handout copy we must provide the listeners to guide them through our words and to give them enough written information so that they can apply our message from examples or guidelines we offer verbally. For years I gave 2,000+ seminars to more than 20 participants in each one; the workbooks ran 10-20 pages long; lots of printing, schlepping, and expense. But here I suggest a two-sided handout at the opening, with links to books, other products, blogs, web articles, and direct links to resources connected to the sponsoring organizations as well. How that is done—the process, then the two-sided example just used on 6/25 in L.A.—are explained in the blog.

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!
