2025 is a new year and ITS a new UPLEVEL for MyLibrarian. Besides scaling through a community of librarians, authors and book clubs, we’re also a guest librarian for a few huge communities. At launch MyLibrarian will reach millions of users.

Not only is our iOS app in beta demo, but we’ve added a sales channel and our TAM is now $9.8B or even higher. We’re starting a little more conservatively with one enterprise customer with a $3B TAM, within which we will offer our service but the possibilities are so much more. Isn’t it great?@!

A small bit of Storytelling: As a journalist, writer and creator, I see the value in innovating book marketing tools as well as creating. When artists and writers make income from their work, we can keep on creating. Selling books by surfacing new books to buy, is our way of contributing to solving online book marketing.

MyLibrarian is a marketing tool that is consumer facing through the app, and also through B2B parters, servicing their customers. We provide value to enterprise customers as an online book discovery service via our Librarian Brain vertical AI data set, an API-generated widget that online bookstores can easily install on their website.

As for the app, we love the way it brings the reference desk experience online. Remember going to a library and asking a librarian what book you should read? Our app automates that experience via our digital librarian Veronica, and our vertical AI data set, the Librarian Brain.

Librarians are the biggest book brains and are the most authoritative source for book recommendations, aggregated and curated by experts. This is the year we push forward and everything comes together and we scale MyLibrarian to millions of readers and people who wished they read more LOL.

And the shocking ending of the best thing you’ll read today: Librarian recommendations SELL BOOKS. We have the receipts. Founded by an author, coder, information architect and product savant, MyLibrarian will return the book picks of your dreams, and your investment to you. An investment in reading and life-long learning is an investment in LIFE.

Thank you for reading,
