Erin Wright is a full-time contemporary western romance author, but unless you’re a fan of sexy cowboys, you’ve probably heard of her instead because of her work in the Wide for the Win Facebook group. She conned Suzie O’Connell (close writing friend and fellow cowboy romance author) into co-founding the Facebook group back in March of 2019, and has been avoiding writing books by posting in the group ever since. If you’re thinking about going Wide, or if you’re already Wide and just want to connect with other Widelings, be sure to come join Erin in the largest group on the internet for Wide authors. She’d be thrilled to have you!
Independent Book Publishers Association is the largest trade association for independent publishers in the United States. As the IBPA Director of Membership & Member Services, Christopher Locke assists the 3,600 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; managing the Innovative Voices Program that supports publishers from marginalized communities; and hosting the IBPA podcast, “Inside Independent Publishing (with IBPA).” He’s also passionate about indie publishing, because he’s an author publisher himself, having published two novels so far in his YA trilogy, The Enlightenment Adventures.
