BAIPA member and author Karin Fisher-Golton found this interesting event
to share with BAIPA members
Libraries across North America are having their first annual Indie Author Day on October 8. Berkeley and San Rafael seem to be the only cities in the Bay Area with participating libraries. October 8 is the date of our next BAIPA meeting, but the Berkeley event is in the afternoon. The event will include panel discussions, networking, and an opportunity for authors to present their books to the public. The deadline for being a presenting author has passed, but you can still attend and get on their mailing list for the future. For more information, visit: indieauthorday.com.
Karin Fisher-Golton is the author of My Amazing Day: A Celebration of Wonder and Gratitude, which recently won the 2015 BAIPA Book Award for Fiction: Children’s Picture Book.
Thanks Karin!

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

Current BAIPA members do not need to register for our monthly meetings. The night before the meetings, they will receive the Zoom info. For workshop registration, members can buy a member ticket and will receive the Zoom info the night before the meetings, as well as in the confirmation email.
Yes, it is unfortunate that this great event is happening the same day as our event with Kelley Way. I also wanted to mention that the library hosting this event in Marin is the Corte Madera Library. My understanding is that they are doing a full day of speakers and activities. And David Kudler (VP of BAIPA) and I are speaking there at 1PM about BAIPA.
