With over 3,000 members, IBPA is the largest association in independent book publishing, serving trade publishers, hybrid publishers, author-publishers, university and nonprofit presses. 

Our mission is to help all independent publishers, large and small, to succeed. In addition to membership in IBPA, joining other publishing trade associations can offer additional access to advocacy, education and networking in the area that you publish.
