MORNING PRESENTATION:
Successful Indie Publishing: Latest Trends & Data from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA)
Angela Bole, CEO Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA)

In 2019, the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), the largest publisher association in the US serving indie and author-publishers, conducted a survey of its 3,200 members to find out – among other things – what makes a successful indie publisher. During this special presentation exclusively for BAIPA members and guests, IBPA CEO Angela Bole will unpack the IBPA member survey data and facilitate a conversation about indie publishing highs, lows, and everything in between. Join us to benchmark your publishing program against others in the industry while learning best practices from your peers.

PROGRAM TAKEAWAYS:
1. Benchmark your publishing program against others in the industry.
2. Learn indie publishing best practices from your peers.
3. Learn about the Independent Book Publishers Association.
4. Learn how BAIPA is connected to the Independent Book Publishers Association.

 


NO AFTERNOON WORKSHOP

Instead, everyone attending the morning session is welcome to bring a bag lunch and stay for a casual gathering with discussions around the tables. We’ll provide some conversation starters at each table in case they’re helpful, but you probably won’t need them. This is a chance to hang out informally with your BAIPA friends and colleagues. Discuss the morning presentation, what you’re each working on, or pick the brains of your community around some problem or challenge or opportunity. There will be no formal afternoon workshop, but there will be a reason to stick around for a bit, relax and socialize.
