PUBLISHING PROFESSIONALS NETWORK (PPN) is an all-volunteer 501(c)6 nonprofit association that promotes success in all aspects of book making through education, career development, and community building.
Founded as Bookbuilders West in 1969, the organization was rechartered as PPN in 2012 to respond to the changing nature of book publishing and to embrace all of the business partnerships and personal connections that exist within our industry.
PPN’s Bay Area roots are reflected in its support of book publishing that is innovative and diverse. The Annual Conference and other professional development and awards programs encourage publishing excellence and offer strategies for career and skills enhancement, as well as strengthening personal and professional relationships in the publishing industry.
The PPN Board of Directors provides the formal framework of PPN. The all-volunteer board members are actively involved in the numerous committees that carry out the mission of PPN.
