Laura Hazard Owen’s Biography
I cover digital book publishing for paidContent and GigaOM. That includes ebooks and e-readers, Amazon, pricing, marketing, bestsellers, DRM, self-publishing, startups and technology and other industry trends.
Before paidContent, I was the editorial director of Publishing Trends, a newsletter for the book publishing industry from book publishing consulting firm Market Partners International.
My first job out of college was assistant editor at Skyhorse Publishing, an independent publisher in New York.
I graduated from Harvard with a degree in English in 2006.
I live in Manhattan with my husband and daughter and love cooking, reading, yoga and animals.
