About Me

UPPAA is the Upper Peninsula Publishers and Authors Association.
Since the organization’s founding in 1998, UPPAA has grown to more than seventy members, representing a diverse body of writers in the fields of fiction and non-fiction.
UPPAA was founded with the purpose to support and encourage networking and idea exchange among Upper Peninsula, and surrounding area, publishers and authors, and to promote books published and/or authored by UPPAA members.
With a wide-ranging group of enthusiastic and innovative members, UPPAA continues to grow and seek new ways in the rapidly changing world of book publishing to promote its Upper Michigan authors and their books.
BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG! It features regular updates and descriptions of our members many diverse books by UP Authors.
To write what is worth publishing, to find honest people to publish it, and to get sensible people to read it, are the three great difficulties in being an author. - Charles Caleb Colton
