This Wednesday we held our first holiday party with our friends over at Booksworks! We had a nice mix of over 50 authors, publishers, editors, publicists, and startups from all over NYC.

We loved hearing about the new book to app tool that Bowker just released recently from Beat Barbarian. Plus, there were so many indie authors and it was awesome to hear all their awesome stories.

Darrel Sukhedo told us about how he used our NY Self Publishers Meetup to find an editor. We even heard a few BiblioCrunch success stories of authors who found really great resources to hire editors. We loved hearing about Karen Little’s new book about scooting.
Special shoutout to Betty Sargent of Bookworks and Victoria McNally for co-hosting such an awesome event. A big thanks to Tools of Change for donating moleskin notebooks and books!
Lover of books. CEO & founder of Bibliocrunch. Love storytelling in all its forms. Formerly TIME. I'm a new media entrepreneur who has worked in the media industry for 11 years. My mission is simple – to innovate the publishing industry with technology. My company has been featured in BBC World News, Money Magazine, Bloomberg, Consumer Reports, Forbes, WSJ, MediaBistro, PBS, Columbia Journalism Review, The Next Web, Publishers Weekly, and a bunch of other places. Bibliocrunch was also selected as The Next Big Thing in media by the Paley Center. I also used to run a popular South Asian culture blog called Divanee. Before I ran my own company and became a mom, I used to be on the board for several literacy organizations, and wrote a LOT more. Hopefully, when things are calmer I can go back to that! :)
