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unpublished, who is interested in self-publishing.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.
