Patrick Ewing, longtime bookseller, sales rep and sales manager, has left the book business and is beginning to work for National Write Your Congressman, a national, nonpartisan company that seeks to educate small business owners about state and national legislation that may affect their businesses.
"I would like to thank all of the people, many of whom that have become friends, I have met over the years in the book business. It has been my honor and pleasure. I now move into a completely different realm," he said. "I believe that voter education is one of the most important issues of our times. I'm eagerly looking forward to my new career. But, I will miss this wonderful and unique industry of ours."
Ewing was most recently a rep for Barron's Educational Series. He began his book career at several independent bookstores in Denver before joining regional book wholesaler Gordon's in 1984 as a sales rep and later sales manager. After Gordon's was bought by Ingram in 1991, he was regional sales manager for the West at Ingram, until he left in 1996.
He then was a sales rep at William Morrow/Avon Books and worked at the Tattered Cover and Borders in Denver. After moving to New Mexico, he worked at Bookworks of Albuquerque and the University of New Mexico Bookstore. He then moved to Portland, Ore., where he worked at Powell's Books and Boone Bridge Books before joining Barron's in 2007.
