About the MidAtlantic Book Publishers AssociationThe MidAtlantic Book Publishers Association is a community of independent publishers located in the Mid-Atlantic area. We welcome all independent and self-publishers in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Washington, DC. MBPA is a regional affiliate of The Independent Book Publishers Association (PMA/IBPA) and the Small Publishers Association of North America (SPAN). We offer networking opportunities, education, cooperative marketing programs such as participation in the Baltimore Book Festival, and more. MBPA members can also join PMA/IBPA and SPAN at a discount from the regular price of membership, and are eligible for other benefits from PMA. Membership is only $25 per year for individuals, which includes full access to this web site as well as the opportunity to participate in all programs offered by the association. For organizational memberships for groups of 2 or more people, contact Donna Wessel at donna@americanliterarypress.com To join (individual membership):
Once you pay the membership fee, you will receive full access to the web site within an hour. MeetingsIn the past we have had monthly meetings, but recently it seems that everyone is too busy, and there hasn't been enough interest in regular meetings. The other problem is that we are too spread out to make regular meetings feasible. We will be having official meetings at PMA University/BEA and also at the Baltimore Book Festival. Beyond that, we are hoping that members will use this site to coordinate informal get togethers. Where are you located? You could post a message to the forums, asking if anyone in your area is interested in getting together for lunch/ dinner/ happy hour/ networking/ whatever. Sheila Ruth |
