This July, the IBPA (Independent Book Publishers Association) made a powerful showing at the ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition in Philadelphia, PA—one of the largest gatherings of library professionals in the world. With over 14,000 attendees and a vibrant lineup of speakers and events, the conference spotlighted the growing connection between indie publishers and libraries. IBPA’s expanded booth featured 307 titles and hosted 91 author signings, drawing more than 1,400 visitors.

I’m proud to share that my audiobook Love Lost Adventure: The Lie was among the featured titles at the IBPA booth. It was an incredible opportunity to showcase Teddy’s story to librarians, educators, and book lovers from across the country. Being part of this dynamic event was a true honor—and a thrilling step forward for indie storytelling.
