CIPA Signature is a monthly newsletter mailed to CIPA members, affiliate publishing associations, and others who request a copy. It provides details on upcoming meetings, news on the association and affiliated organizations, and information from the Board of Directors. The newsletter also features members articles, both from independent publishers sharing their publishing experiences and from associate members telling what they know about the business. Monthly columns round out the newsletter with specific tips on production, research, publicity and public relations, and marketing. If you are a CIPA member and would like to contribute an article, here are the guidelines. Note that the articles also will appear on this website. The deadline for submission is the 10th day of the month prior to the month of publication. Columns should be no more than 500 words; features no more than 750; book reviews around 300. Feature articles require a photograph of the author. News
about upcoming publishing events and other items of interest to
independent publishers from participating book associations also are
accepted. Please note that these must be brief items with contact
information. Sales pitches are more properly submitted as paid ads. A special section of the newsletter, Applause Applause!, features news about YOU, your new book, your book-signing details, etc. The maximum number of words is 150. Email your submission to the contact below, and include your name, publishing company, and details about availability of a photo or graphics. If you are submitting a feature article, include the reason why you think your article would be of benefit to CIPA members.

Advertise YOUR BENEFITS TO ADVERTISING IN THE SIGNATURE
* Signature is mailed to over 500 authors and publishers each month.
* Becoming recognized in this community pays dividends!
* The Signature has been retooled to be "archived" which means that your advertising messages will endure beyond the immediate issue (now 3-hole punched for archiving each issue in the CIPA membership binder).
* Issues are available online to a world wide audience seeking specific answers and solutions to their publishing
projects - and your advertisement is available, 24/7!
* Display advertising is a great value for your organization, because each issue goes to a selected organization of
actively publishing members who are looking for new contacts
and vendors. |
