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 Membership is open to anyone, published or unpublished who is interested in self-publishing.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.)
