Mug with hat3 for Woody BLog 2Dear BAIPA members and friends of the organization,

The latest Big Deal on my unhurried path to best-sellerdom is what I’ve come to describe as “a new, non-slick, imperfectly human, honest 30-minute podcast of a San Francisco-based interview with me, Woody Weingarten, by Janet Gallin of Love Letters Live,” (she is a contributor to Examiner.com, an entertainment, news and lifestyle network serving more than 20 million monthly readers around the world).janet G for Woody's Blog 2

To hear it, click on the following link, read the first few paragraphs, then click on the MP3 arrow-button at the bottom of the page: Woody’s Interview.

I’d love your input on the interview—and on my book, “Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner’s breast cancer.” Or, for that matter, on the recent 90-second KCBS broadcast about me that can be heard by clicking Woody on KCBS.

I’d be happy to receive any and all of your ideas via my personal email—voodee@sbcglobal—or on my website www.VitalityPress.com. You also can include advice on what content you think would improve my site.

I promise to consider your feedback seriously — and to implement it if possible.

Woody Weingarten

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
