Christopher Locke, IBPA
IBPA Director of Membership & Member Services
Manhattan Beach, CA
Hello everyone! I’m the Director of Membership & Member Services at IBPA, and I look forward to meeting you at IBPA’s Publishing University. At IBPA, I assist the 4,000 members as they travel along their publishing journeys. Major projects include managing the member benefits to curate the most advantageous services for independent publishers and author publishers; overseeing the
IBPA NetGalley program, which generates buzz and garners reviews for indie publishers’ titles; and hosting the IBPA podcast,
“Inside Independent Publishing (with IBPA).”I'm also passionate about indie publishing, because I'm an author publisher myself, having published two novels so far in myYA trilogy,
The Enlightenment Adventures.
I greatly enjoy connecting with independent publishers and author publishers to talk shop! Don’t hesitate to say hello. I’m at this conference to ensure that you--our wonderful members—have a rewarding experience.
