    The Annual Conference is a chance for Quaker authors and publishers to showcase their recent publications. We encourage members to post information about their books to the QUIP website by emailing Eric Muhr at ericmuhr@gmail.com and on the QUIP Facebook page.

    Are you a “publisher of Truth”? Are you a writer, a publisher, an editor, a translator, or a bookseller? Do you blog, produce videos, write songs, create websites, or manage social media for Friends?

    At QUIP we’re all united in sharing the Quaker message with the world. Join us for worship, fellowship, education, and mutual support.
