Jane Friedman

I've worked for 25 years in the publishing industry and have a special interest in how the digital age is transforming writing careers, publishing, and storytelling. Rather than taking a dark view of how the Internet era has affected writers' livelihoods, I'm more interested in how revolutionary change can inspire new business models, and how authorship will ultimately evolve. I believe history is on the writers' side: they've been sustaining their careers in ever more innovative ways since the era of Gutenberg. Furthermore, I don't think that business and art must be at odds—I believe they can inform and push each other to flourish.

I sit at the intersection of several communities, which gives me a 360-degree view of the changes now shaping

Malcolm X

Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little), also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, was an American Black Muslim minister and a spokesman for the Nation of Islam.

After leaving the Nation of Islam in 1964, he made the pilgrimage, the Hajj, to Mecca and became a Sunni Muslim. He also founded the Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of Afro-American Unity. Less than a year later, he was assassinated in Washington Heights on the first day of National Brotherhood Week.

Rachel Rogers

Rachel sometimes thinks she began breathing stories before she ever noticed air, but she’s still an unlikely candidate for founder of a publishing house. She doesn’t have a graduate degree in English, and she’s never even been to New York. Instead, she has an English degree from a local community college, and she was raised on her family’s entrepreneurship.

She learned a secret very early: Find the right story, and it’ll forever be your light in dark corners, your soft place to land, your reminder that you aren’t alone. That’s why Rachel founded Hazel Grace Press in 2020—to find and share those stories, and the artists and wordsmiths who create them, with the readers who need them most.
