Carol Fitzgerald
Founder/President

Carol Fitzgerald is the 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 their “Bookreporter Talks To” author interview series, hosted by Carol, in the summer of 2019. The goal 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.
