Smaller and Independent Annual Meeting Program
Sponsored by the AAP
There's no better way to serve independent book publishers than by bringing like-minded independents together for education, networking, and celebration of the 10th anniversary meeting. Our speakers will share strategies and tactics that have worked and that are aligned with the economic and distribution realities that are shaping the 21st Century book publishing landscape. A few of the highlights are a keynote session "How To Successfully Navigate the Life-Cycles of an Independent Publishing House" and the Annual Miriam Bass Award for Creativity in Independent Publishing.
