CO-FOUNDER / EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
If you’re Readin’ this, at one point in your life you picked up a book for the first time. Upon hearing the initial crack of the spine and taking in the warm, uniquely bookish aroma, you immersed yourself in a world created between letters and pages. Your first crush may have been a fictional baddie (gender-neutral) who is to blame for your (rightfully so) high standards today. That fictional crush prompted an involuntary flutter of the feet, followed with a fleeting giggle. At one point, you loved a book so much that you posted about it online for all of your adoring fans to see. Fans became friends; friends became family; family became COMMUNITY.
We built Readin’ because, like you, some of our best connections have been built with a book between us. We came for the books and stayed for the community. There is nothing in this world like the bookish community; a space that fosters the desire to discover new worlds, create new stories, and inspire others to do the same.
Readin’ was born from two readers, a Ke$ha-fueled anxiety dream, and not a speck of chill. We are made for readers by readers; built by the bookish community for the bookish community. Born in the comforting embrace of nostalgia and raised with the drive for creative change, Readin’ is a front row view of the world through the lenses of readers, writers, and innovators.
We are so excited to grow with you, learn with you, and celebrate with you.
We are honored to have you Readin’ with us.
Live, Laugh, Love You,
