Christopher Locke worked in the television industry for over a decade before pursuing his passion project, The Enlightenment Adventures—a YA book series that combines thrilling entertainment and education to inspire the next generation of animal advocates. This new career path led him to another dream job of joining Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA)—the largest trade association for independent publishers in the United States. As the IBPA Member Liaison, Christopher Locke assists the 3,400+ members as they travel along their publishing journeys. As one of his major projects, he oversees the IBPA NetGalley program, which generates buzz and garners reviews for indie publishers’ titles.
