IPNE, another affiliate organization to IBPA, is thus a sister to BAIPA, and BAIPA board member Pamela J. Fenner is also an active IPNE member.
Make Better Books & Sell More of Them
“Make Better Books & Sell More of Them” is the theme of the 2022 conference, coming to you via Zoom on Friday and Saturday, November 18 and 19. You don’t need to be a publisher, a published author, or even a New Englander to join the virtual crowd. The 11th Annual Independent Publishers of New England Conference is packed with helpful topics and speakers.
The Independent Publishers of New England is excited to announce the dates and give some info on this year’s conference. We’ll be having all our events on Zoom starting Friday afternoon, November 18th, and continuing Saturday morning through the evening.
Our experts will present on topics such as:
- Publishing with the help of IngramSpark
- Book promotion including BookTok and book trailers
- Book and cover design
- Building and serving your mailing list
- Using Kickstarter to fund your book
- Book review information by well respected book reviewers
- How to avoid predatory “hybrid” publishers
- Using KDP and following Amazon best practices
- Copyright, public domain, and other legal topics
- And much more

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
