CIPA Member Testimonial: "The CIPA Author Showcase at MPIBA FallCon was an outstanding experience! The event offered exposure for myself and my novel, and allowed me to network with book buyers and bookstore staff. I came away from the show with a broader understanding of the regional marketplace and where I need to continue to focus my efforts as a publisher and an author."
