“The “IPPY” Awards, launched in 1996, are designed to bring increased recognition to the deserving but often unsung titles published by independent authors and publishers. Established as the first awards program open exclusively to independents, over 1000 “IPPYs” have been awarded to publishers throughout North America.” —Independent Publisher Book Awards
Jen
I am going to be in SFO for 2 – 3 weeks starting 19th June – do you want to get your excuses for not meeting up together now?
Philip
It’ll be great to see you, Phillip! The weekend of the 19th I’m in Los Angeles, but after that I’ll be flexible to meet you in the evening. Maybe we could go to a Giants game.
giants sounds fun – weekend of 26th I am in portland but rest of time will be around…
