Julie Gribble – Founder and President
“Julie Gribble is the president of New York Media Works, which creates and produces works for children and the children’s literature community, in both the United States and Great Britain. She founded her brainchild, KidLit TV, to help authors and illustrators broaden their audience by using new technologies to complement and promote their work. KidLit TV is also a resource for industry insiders and catalysts, booksellers, librarians, teachers, and parents.
Julie is an award-winning writer, screenwriter, filmmaker, and producer. Her charming picture book, Bubblegum Princess, is based on a true story about Kate Middletown, and was released on the day the royal baby, who we now know as Prince George, arrived. Copies of the book have been donated to underprivileged children in the US, and to children’s hospices in the UK.”
