Hello, fellow bookworms!
Let me introduce myself: I’m Tessa Reeg, the Independent’s Copy Chief and a lifelong book lover, and I’ll be taking up the mantle from Emily Lee as the host and editor of All Booked!
We’ve been thinking long and hard about how to best turn the page into the next chapter of All Booked. What are the pros and cons of having one host versus a cycle of contributors (like we did when Emily went on maternity leave last year)? Ultimately, we decided that the best way to bring you a newsletter with consistent quality, a recognizable voice, and a satisfying variety of book recommendations was to combine the best from both ideas.
So though I’ll be taking over as the main host, showcasing plenty of my favorite books and authors, we’ll also feature members of the Indy staff as recurring contributors! We’re a bunch of bookworms over here at the paper, and we look forward to bringing you a wider variety of exciting new reads to pick up.
In addition, we want to make sure that we continue to hear from you, our fellow book lovers.
Please send information about new books by local authors to allbooked@independent.com .
Please send information about book events to events@independent.com , or, even better, you can post them yourself on our online calendar. Click here for more information about how to do that.
I look forward to embracing the next chapter with you all! Happy reading.
