I’m writing a research paper on BAIPA for a Berkeley City College class called Production and Development.  Val Sherer gave me wonderful help which I will happily include.  Here are two questions I wanted to ask the members?

1) in the past three years have you won a prize for your book? Tell which prize and describe the award.

2) The BAIPA president Becky Parker-Geist praised BAIPA membership for always being willing, even eager, to help other members.  If another member has helped you with one of your projects, including giving paid help, tell me about it, giving the other member’s name, how they helped, and whether you paid them. If you are willing to answer a few email questions about this experience, send your email
My email address for answers is aikya.param@gmail.com.

Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA President, CEO of Pro Audio Voices Inc and AMPlify Audiobooks

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
