BAIPA is pleased to announce that we will be having TWO hybrid events in 2024. The first one is happening on June 1 at The Next Key Center in Novato, and features Ruth Schwartz, Vice-President of BAIPA and long-time volunteer, speaking about what’s happening with print-on-demand publishing and distribution in 2024. Ruth has helped over 150 authors (many who are also BAIPA members) published over 200 books in the last 12 years.
The second hybrid event will be our annual Cover Design event, and will take place on December 7th
Registration is now open, and the deadline to register to attend in person for the event and for the complimentary member lunch is May 15, 2024.

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
