The world of independent publishing is a vibrant and evolving landscape. At the center of this dynamic domain lies a commitment to quality, innovation, and credibility. MindStir Media embodies all these principles, which is why we’re proud to be a partner member of the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA).
But what does it mean to be a member of the IBPA, and how does this affiliation benefit MindStir Media and the authors we serve? Let’s explore the details and uncover why this partnership reflects our unwavering dedication to excellence in publishing.
What Is the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA)?
Founded in 1983, the IBPA is the largest nonprofit organization in the U.S. serving independent publishers and self-published authors. With a mission to level the playing field for independent creators, IBPA offers vital resources, community support, and advocacy for small presses and authors navigating the challenges of the publishing industry.
The IBPA’s core belief is that independent publishers deserve the same opportunities and recognition as larger, traditional publishing houses. This conviction is reflected in their extensive range of programs, educational opportunities, and member benefits, all designed to foster professionalism and success for their members.

MindStir Media’s status as a partner member of the IBPA signifies more than just affiliation; it underscores our commitment to transparency, high-quality service, and ethical practices. Partner membership is reserved for companies and organizations that support the publishing industry through their work and uphold the values of the IBPA.
For our team at MindStir, being a partner member confirms our dedication to helping independent authors succeed. It also serves as a seal of credibility, demonstrating to our authors that we align with an organization renowned for promoting industry best practices.
