Beginning in
September we’ll meet on the second Thursday of the month. The meeting room will open at 1:00 PM and the meeting will start at 2:00 PM, when we will
introduce any guests in attendance, our featured speaker or other event. Following our premier event, we break for 15
minutes and then reconvene for club business and reports from members and
guests about their writing, publishing, and marketing efforts.
We encourage
members to bring and display their published books at our meetings. There is a
table where you can place your books for viewing or sale. You may also donate books or other items of
interest as door prizes.
The president
usually conducts a drawing for any donated books or items for SASP paid
members. Guests and unpaid members may purchase a drawing ticket for $1.
(Members may also purchase additional tickets for $1.)
We
invite and encourage guests to attend our meetings. We are sure you will find
help and encouragement from fellow writers and will want to join us. We
enthusiastically welcome guests of individual SASP members.

Chuck O’Connor, Elmer Freeman, Joe
Meiners, and Dan Volmer established this non-profit organization. They wanted
to share with others their interests in writing, producing, and publishing
their own books. SASP held its first public meeting
November 1998. The founders want members to share their experience, expertise,
and resources for mutual benefit. Membership is open to anyone, published or unpublished who is interested in self-publishing. (Over the
past ten years the organization has grown to include writers, poets,
photographers, artists, and illustrators, and those attempting traditional as
well as self-publishing.)
Here are our bylaws.
