For all the products and services that IBPA provides.
- Book Manufacturers Institute
Since 1933, the Book Manufacturers’ Institute (BMI) has been the trusted source for the book publishing and printing industry. BMI member manufacturers want it to be as easy as possible for those needing their services to get the information they want while making the relationships that will help them succeed.

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
