CIPA Education and Literacy Foundation

We are the Colorado Independent Publishers Association (CIPA), a nonprofit statewide cooperative of authors, independent book publishers and publishing professionals. CIPA was founded in 1992 as a lunch group by a small group of independent publishers. Evelyn Kaye, of Blue Panda Publications and a travel writer was CIPA’s first president and the namesake of CIPA’s EVVY book awards.

 

CIPA’s motto:
“Do it yourself without doing it alone! Accelerate your publishing dreams with CIPA.”
