Thank You and Farewell to BookRiff
It is with a deep sense of sadness that I announce I am no longer with BookRiff Media for financial reasons. For almost two years, BookRiff has been my “baby” and I want to truly thank BookRiff founder, Mark Scott, for entrusting the company to me. I have learned so much about the publishing industry and have thoroughly enjoyed watching BookRiff grow and evolve during my time with the company.
I am also SO proud of the BookRiff team and what we have accomplished! We have built an amazing technology, product and I still firmly believe in a very promising and profitable market opportunity! People are looking for ways to monetize and curate content and BookRiff can definitely solve many of these issues. I can’t wait to read about BookRiff’s future success in these areas!
Right now, I am simply “mourning” the loss of a very important and significant part of my life and am taking some time to decide what’s next for me. I have truly fallen in love with the publishing industry and would LOVE to continue my work with publishers and innovative ventures in this space. If you hear of any opportunities that might be of interest, please feel free to pass them along! 
Many thanks to all of you for your ongoing support and encouragement! It has been a true privilege and pleasure working with you and I do hope our paths cross again soon!
Please do keep in touch and I will be sure to do the same!

[...] terms of work, you may have read, I left BookRiff in March and Geoff and I have decided to focus on a “side” business we launched almost 7 years [...]
We’ll miss you Rochelle! Have a grand adventure on your road trip (so jealous!), and come home in one piece. Go VanGo go!

Rochelle,
we’ve talked in private, but wanted to publicly wish you the best of luck. Startups are meant to strive or die, but entrepreneurs need to keep on going. You have a place in the publishing industry, and your presence would be extremely missed by many of us. Keep us in touch with your thoughts and actions in the near future and I hope we can meet soon in UK, US, Canada, Spain or who knows!
Very best,
Justo
