Anna Thorn, former independent bookseller and book industry consultant, has been named the new director of the Independent Publishers Caucus. She will not only guide the organization's advocacy efforts on behalf of independent publishers but also broaden IPC's role within the book world.
"Throughout my career in books, it has been a priority to promote the amazing work that indie publishers are doing," Thorn said. "It's a privilege for that to be my new focus with IPC. I can't wait to get started."
In addition to hiring Thorn, IPC has recently joined the California Independent Booksellers Alliance on behalf of all IPC members. And this week, IPC has sent a Coronavirus Best Practices document to its members and is working on ways for publishers to support indie bookstores during the pandemic.
