Welcome back to Published. Today we’re joined by Christopher Locke, Director of Membership & Member Services at the Independent Book Publishers Association. 

The indie publishing landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, and IBPA’s resources have helped educate authors and hold publishers to clear standards of professionalism. In this episode, we’ll talk about how joining a publishing association can give authors more agency and provide access to tools for greater visibility.

In addition to supporting thousands of independent authors and publishers through his work at IBPA, Christopher also hosts the podcast Inside Independent Publishing, where he shares insights and updates from across the publishing world.
