A Message to Our Affiliate Family
IBPA is proud to refer new and established publishers to its family of affiliates. We know that publishing can feel like a solitary and frustrating course, even if you’ve had years of experience. One reason an affiliate membership is valuable is that you can rest assured that you are not alone. The collective wisdom of your local colleagues is yours for the asking.
Joining an affiliate is one of the most valuable and satisfying steps you can take to advance your business. It’s easy, too. We have affiliates around the country. Just find the one closest to you and ask for information.
—Robert Goodman, Silvercat Publications, IBPA Affiliate Liaison
