I have loved watching you grow. I am a book editor, read many dozens of books a year, and couldn’t possibly afford to buy all the books I would like to.
Perfection can't be improved upon! Also, I love Zibby's voice because I feel as though she is speaking directly to me. (And I just pre-ordered Blank. So, it's a good day!)
You are doing great work for both the book world and inspiring community activism during tough times. I really enjoy your podcasts, next time I am in LA will vuss sad it your bookstore and will ore order Blank as looking forward to reading it. Thanks for all you do Zibby.
Having free virtual events would be welcome and appreciated. Due to COVID concerns, attending anything in person right now is not an option for me as a person with a chronic illness.
I've been absolutely captivated by your journey with Zibby Books and your fearless approach to putting yourself out there. You've inspired me to finally book all those overdue doctor appointments, tacking my weight with Mounjaro, and dive into a treasure trove of incredible books you've recommended.
Meeting you at the East Hampton Author Night two years ago was a highlight, and I'm eagerly anticipating the possibility of seeing you again this year.
On a personal note, I'd love to offer up a shameless plug for my photography company, East 27 Creative, which specializes in event photography. If you ever plan tours in DC, NYC, or EH, let's chat! We've got something special that can instantly captivate your attendees (especially fellow book lovers).
Thank you for being such an inspiration, and on a related note, I just pre-ordered Blank because supporting fellow women business owners is crucial, and I have no doubt it'll be fabulous!
Also! I follow you because as a burgeoning author - still pitching my fashion essay collection that you ran the chapter excerpt of this fall (thank you!) - I love seeing everything about authors and book debuts. You are unparalleled in how you treat authors.
I enjoy the online community, and I'm not really looking for in-person events. I suppose if you were really close to me, or if the "feeling like I'm part of something" was really strong, but you know, moms don't have time...
Promote your books to targeted audiences. For example I just finished The Wine People and as a foodie, I absolutely loved it. I only found it from your list of books. It could have a wider audience if it had been promoted to food websites eg Food and Wine, on Insta and Foodie Facebook Groups. I am going to promote if on my fb page and leave Amazon review but I am only one person.
I would have loved to see recipes of some of the meals mentioned in the book. When you reprint maybe you could add a few recipes like Nora Efron. I still make her pasta recipe. The author could also do a giveaway for her book and pair it with a wine or a small food basket. You can a big response if you link the giveaway to Sweepstakes Advantage.
I primarily read books from the library and that’s why I don’t pre-order.
I DID pre-order Blank but that was not a response to the poll question. Can't wait to read it!!!
You are so generous to all the authors, but sometimes I want to know how you really feel about a book. They can’t all be 5 stars can they?

Would love an event in DC!

Thank you!
You are writers 'and readers' North Star.
OF COURSE I PRE-ORDERED BLANK! And extra copies for friends for gifts!
You're the best!

I will have at least one!
Wonderful, thank you! 😊

Thanks, Jennifer! So kind of you!!! Yes, I'd love to hear more about your photography company!

I haven't pre-ordered Blank because I received an ARC - and am LOVING it! xx

Totally love you though - and I enjoy following your work closely.
I live in RI and would come to a Boston area event, but I'm not aware of your hosting any there.
Yes! Hosting in Watch Hill, RI and Newton, MA!

We did try that but can do better!
