New BAIPA member Karin Fisher-Golton has written a new book, My Amazing Day: A Celebration of Wonder and Gratitude.  She says:

Here is a review I wanted to share with BAIPA members–both because I am very pleased and honored by what the reviewer saw in my book, and also because I think some of the members might be interested in the discussion of how children’s literature can address issues of racial bias and identity.

A fun fact about my book for BAIPA members is that the photos for the book were shot in the Hamilton area of Novato. I am the author and I collaborated with Lori A. Cheung, an award-winning photographer, and Elizabeth Iwamiya, a graphic and fine artist.

We raised almost $10,000 via Kickstarter to print the book.

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
