Meet Our Team

Carol Fitzgerald

Founder/President

Carol Fitzgerald is Founder and President of The Book Report Network (TBRN). The Company’s websites — Bookreporter.com and ReadingGroupGuides.com — have become the gathering places for a large and devoted community of booklovers since 1996. TBRN is recognized as an online leader of informed, contemporary book news, reviews, and author interviews. Website visitors can read reviews and author interviews, subscribe to newsletters and participate in interactive polls and contests.

TBRN launched our “Bookreporter Talks To” author interview series, hosted by Carol, in summer 2019. Our goal there is to deliver long-form author interviews to readers both on podcast and video. She has long been a sought-after interviewer for events and festivals, which made this a natural addition to TBRN programming.

The company’s Authors on the Web division provides Website Design and Development, Newsletter Design/Development and Consulting Services for authors and publishers.

Prior to founding TBRN, Fitzgerald spent 17 years at Conde Nast where she developed broad-based marketing, promotion and publicity programs. Fitzgerald has a B.A. in Communications from Fordham University.

As Accounts Manager, he acts as a liaison for both website clients at AuthorsOnTheWeb, and editorial clients at the other websites of The Book Report Network. He also handles accounting for TBRN. In his free time, Greg enjoys traveling, curling, geocaching, and off-roading his classic Land Rovers. Greg is a graduate of Fordham University at Lincoln Center, with a B.A. in History.
