Join us at the IPNE booth at Arlington Town Day! Massachusetts Ave., Arlington MA 02476 Between Jason St. & Pleasant St.
IPNE's flagship regional group, the "Metro Boston Publishers" comprises self-published authors, editors. small publishers, and representatives from IPNE and other organizations. At each bi-monthly meetup, we update individual projects, brainstorm challenges, and discuss topics ranging from finding the right publishing platform to editing and design to marketing and beyond.
IPNE now has five member-run regional groups - South Shore (MA), Cape & Islands; Vermont; Rhode Island; Maine; and Metro Boston. The groups are free for anyone to join and come with some nice IPNE perks. Join one* or start your own with IPNE's support!
The benefits of joining or coordinating a regional group
Our regional groups empower and educate indie authors and small publishers about how to succeed in publishing. Members share projects and learn from each other as well as from visiting experts. Meetings are open to IPNE members and non-members alike, with a membership discount available to those who RSVP and attend in person.
