Julie Gribble founded KidLit TV in 2014 to help children's authors and illustrators broaden their audience by using new technologies to complement and promote their work. KidLit TV is the first online resource of its kind for parents, librarians, teachers, and children's literature creators. A gifted filmmaker and children's author, Gribble works out of her Tribeca based studio to produce videos, podcasts, features, news and activities in uniquely engaging formats.

She has assembled a talented team and community of contributors from the KidLit world to populate the pages of KidLit TV in a series of engaging shows, book trailers, and book based crafts and activities unlike any other media in the world of children's literature.

Other team members include Rocco Staino, who hosts StoryMakers, KidLit TV's interview show. Staino is a prominent librarian, a contributing editor at School Library Journal, a contributing writer at The Huffington Post, and the Director of the Empire State Center for the Book, which administers the New York State Writers Hall of Fame. Rocco has interviewed such luminaries as Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, and Jean Craighead George.

"By adding Susannah Greenberg to our team to manage our social media," says KidLit TV's founder Julie Gribble, "we will increase the visibility and awareness of all our social media platforms, and help to bring our outstanding children's literature programming to the widest audience possible. I am confident that Susannah will help us reach our goal and delighted to have our join our team at KidLit TV."
