Takeaway: Check Out IBPA
In my role as Chair of this organization, I feel that this takeaway is a gift to authors and publishers. I have dedicated six years—all volunteer hours—to IBPA and it’s a really wonderful association. There is so much they do for authors by way of education and offering resources. And they have an annual awards program, their Benjamin Franklin Awards, which indie authors should put on their list of places to submit to. So this takeaway is short and sweet and here’s the URL: https://www.ibpa-online.org. It’s worth your while.
