>> NMBA's Monthly Gathering and Discussion on Aug. 14
Come to NMBA's "Brown Bag" Networking Luncheon this Friday 8/14 at the Writers Room (826 Camino del Monte Rey in Santa Fe) We'll start at 11:30 am. We provide cookies, juice, maybe tea. No charge and no reservations needed (but contribution to the juice and cookie fund is welcome). Talk about your publishing or writing project. Bring a friend! The NMBA Board meets at 12:45 pm this Friday, following the Networking Luncheon.
>> Save Immediately on Display at Mountains & Plains Booksellers Show
We discovered over the years that the Mountains & Plains Booksellers Trade Show (Sept. 24-26 in Denver) is the very best event for reaching bookstore owners directly. If you're serious about having your books in stores, this is the one. NMBA is in charge of the impressive IBPA Booth this year; we'll be a major presence there. Save with your earlybird commitment (just $60 for two titles!) by Saturday Aug. 15 (this Saturday!). Call (505) 231-1755 or email Richard@oceantree.com directly. Then send check for $60 and one or two copies of each title to: New Mexico Book Association, c/o Recursos, 826 Camino del Monte Rey, Santa Fe 87505. We will provide you with info on your free catalog page in reply.
>> Members: Renew now and deduct $2!
September 1 is NMBA's annual membership renewal month. But you can save $2 if you renew your membership now! Send your check ($60) to NMBA, c/o Barbara Beasley Murphy, NMBA Treasurer, 486 Circle Drive, Santa Fe NM 87501. (We won't have to send an invoice and you'll be in good standing to September 2010!) Add any news or info changes you'd like in an enclosed note.

New Mexico Book Association News
Setting Up Your Own Imprint
> Ask questions, bring answers! Today (Friday) from 11:30am to 1:15pm at NMBA’s July Networking Luncheon we will explore how to avoid POD pitfalls by setting up your own imprint (publishing company name). Come to the Writers Room, 826 Camino del Monte Rey in Santa Fe. Bring a bag lunch and a curious friend. It is free. We’ll have cookies and juice available (and perhaps a glass of wine). Need directions? Call (505) 231-1755.
> Amazon and Us: The NMBA Board will meet next Wednesday, July 16 at the Writers Room. We will consider joining in a group response to Amazon’s new policy for buying only those POD books produced by their own publishing arm. SPAN and other small press advocates are offering strong objections to Amazon’s bid to control this marketplace.
