2010 CIPA College Home

Looking to develop your publishing skills? Need a little motivation? Want to learn how to create a video trailer for your book?

We believe the line up for 2010 CIPA College will give you “Everything You Need to Know” if you have a book in you.

We have put together a superb line up of presenters. This year there will be a two day track specially designed to help those just getting started in the publishing world understand the basics. We also have two full days of programs to help members who have already produced books sharpen their skills. You aren’t confined to one track or the other! You choose the sessions that help you achieve your college goals.

Our college faculty will cover many marketing topics to help you increase your digital edge and plan a unique campaign for your work. Trying to decide if you should do an offset or digital press run? Not sure your cover passes the bookshelf test? Wonder if you should have a Kindle edition or produce an audio book? You’ll get all the answers and more at CIPA College 2010.

Learn from 24 publishing professionals. Listen, ask questions, absorb and most of all network with our members, vendors and presenters. I believe CIPA College 2010 will give YOU “Everything You Need to Know!”
