Book Publicity from Irwin Zucker's Promotion in Motion
Book Publicists
of Southern California
Book Publicists of Southern California
The Book Publicists of Southern California was started thirty
years ago by Irwin Zucker as a way for all those connected with
or interested in the publishing business to meet and exchange
information.  They meet bi-monthly for dinners at the
Sportsmen's Lodge in the Studio City suburb of Los Angeles.  
Each dinner is a full program with networking, good food and a
panel of experts on various aspects of the book world.

Current BPSC Ernie Weckbaugh helps Irwin put together
the fun and informative newsletter,
Know Thy Shelf, after
every meeting.  Features include a cover column by
Ernie, a fast-paced and humorous byline column by Irwin
and relevant pictures of recent activities of BPSC members,
celebrities or writers in the news.    
In 1995 the club began
awarding the IRWIN Award,
standing for Industry
Recognition of Writers In the
News.  With categoreis from
Best International Campaign
to Most Innovative Campaign,
the IRWIN Award lauds those
who seek to bring their stoies
to the publication with the
hard work and dedication we
all know it takes for such an
endeavor.
Recently the organization began publishing the Chopped Liver
series of books.  The most recent was the well received
Chopped Liver for the Loving Spirit, with stories from a wide
variety of people with touching and telling experiences from
around the world.  The fourth in the series, Chopped Liver for
the Gentle Spirit, is set for release just in time for the Holiday
Season and the next BPSC meeting, December 8, 2005
