About me
Lee (he/him) helps shape the direction of the Independent Book Publishers Association's educational programs, book marketing opportunities, and role in the industry to help indie publishers and author publishers achieve and succeed. A book blogger and author himself, Lee is passionate about empowering and amplifying independent voices, and as staff liaison to the IBPA DEI committee is always looking to be an ally to those who have been marginalized by traditional corporate publishing. With IBPA since 2017, Lee co-founded the We Are Stronger Than Censorship program, which buys and donates two books to offset every one book challenge. As an author, Lee writes stories to empower kids and teens to be their authentic selves and change the world—the same books that would have changed his life as a young gay, Jewish kid.
