The FPA Engaging NewsletterThe FPA Engaging Newsletter is a great resource for members and vendors alike. It comes out monthly. The newsletter features articles of interest to the membership, announcements of upcoming events, and display opportunities, resources for production, marketing, sales and promotion; news from our member companies and our affiliate organizations (IBPA, SPAN and AAP), and more. We encourage members to follow FPA (@FPAbooks) on Twitter to stay abreast of trends and announcements between newsletters. Back IssuesBelow you will find a selection of back issues, divided by year, for your perusal. These are PDF copies that are best read when printed. Reading and printing will require Adobe Reader, which can be downloaded for free from Adobe. Newer issues are reserved for members only.

Submission GuidelinesNews items should be submitted by the 25th of the month prior to the target issue. To learn more about the style and length of “Resource” items, please review a sample PDF copy (above). Promotional blurbs for nonmembers should contain no hyperbole or prices; instead, they should feature explanations and rich contact information. Calendar items should include date(s), event title, event type, location and email or web address for more information. Events from our affiliate groups can be found under “Our Affiliates” and there is no limit on information submissions. Members are reminded to include ISBN-13 numbers on all books mentioned, and they are encouraged to provide a TIFF or JPG image (book covers, logos) with each news submission. There is no limit to the amount of news or images a member may submit. The FPA Sell More Books! Newsletter editor does, however, have final authority on items included in member news. Articles can be considered for consideration only if they cover an integral aspect of book publishing, and they should be sent by email attachment to fpabooks@gmail.com. FPA does not pay for articles, but articles by vendors can include a resource box that the reader can use to learn more about a vendor′s service or product. We offer our member vendors one free ½-page print ad per year. Email fpabooks@gmail.com to learn more. Member vendors are entitled to unlimited promotional blurbs. |
