The results are in on our Publishing Matters conference from last month. If you were able to come, you know what great information was shared. If you weren't, it was fabulous, and maybe you can come to a future event.
- Thank you! Thank you! I am so delighted and grateful that I came. I have learned so much and take with me renewed optimism that I can get my books published and be successful at marketing my writing. I’ll come to the next conference for sure.
- I feel I’ve had my first college course in publishing. Thank you for the invaluable experience. Next step. Publishing University and MIPA membership (as well as IBPA) Good job planning committee!

- “I really enjoyed myself.” Stephen Mettee, Quill Driver Books/Word Dancer Press, IBPA board member
- Thank you. I can't believe the amount of information available to us this weekend. It was a very worthwhile conference. It was great to meet and exchange information with other fledgling publishers and to soak up wisdom from veterans. I am particularly grateful for the opportunity to have my book critiqued. I came away with valuable marketing strategies. Just what I was looking for. And after reading two issues of the IBPA Independent publication, I will now join IBPA too.
- We really learned a lot! Thank YOU!
- I felt so comfortable and welcomed by all. What a great group of people!
- I had a great time and now have a lot of valuable information, and I made some good contacts.
- I loved it all! What a welcoming, collaborative, and inspiring group on all levels. I feel blessed to have attended the day. I am so pleased and happy to feel so full after attending Publishing Matters. I look forward to the next event.
- It was an inspiring time. I learned a great deal and thank you for your efforts at assembling such a fine group of presenters for the conference. Each aspect in the publishing business was represented, except for the poor agent (of root canal fame). Excellent meals and snacks—first class, all the way. Thank you.
- There's a lot that goes into conferences behind the scenes and I appreciate what you did for us. I got a lot of ideas and info. Now to put some of what I know into practice.
- Dear MIPA Board, Brava to each of you. The seminar was well done. I took away some new insights and resolved about social marketing. And, had some excellent conversations to forward the action here.
