We’re going to leverage our in house experts, who can answer any questions you may have. Whether it’s Kobo specific or questions about the independent publishing industry, our team live and breathe publishing and will be able to offer their unique insights. Let’s learn more about the team:

Camille takes care of KWL in Europe, bringing her knowledge of self-publishing and international markets in the relations she’s built with indie authors throughout the years.
Camille began her publishing career as an editor within the Hachette Book Group in Paris for 10 years, before becoming the French Publishers’ Association Digital Counsellor. She has an MA in publishing from ESCP in Paris and her favourite book is Romain Gary’s La Promesse de l’Aube.


A headshot of Ruth.

Ruth works on KWL and Kobo Originals in the Netherlands. She has a MA in Philosophy from the Radboud University in Nijmegen and worked as a sales representative for an Amsterdam based publishing house for four years before coming to Kobo. She is currently reading Rachel Cusk’s Kudos.


A headshot of Lucia.

Lucia Zitelli is Catalogue Manager in Italy, she works on KWL and as vendor manager. Reading is her biggest passion since when she was a child, and it brought her to study Literature at University. After graduation, she has been working in digital publishing, taking care of both authors and publishers in their ebooks and audiobooks distribution journey. She loves listening to podcasts, stretching in the morning, and working out.


A headshot of Tara.

Tara is responsible for the overall author experience on Kobo Writing Life, from optimizing current features to looking for new avenues of growth. Her aim is to make KWL the greatest and most user-friendly self-publishing platform available.

Tara has an MA in American Literature and Film from University College Cork, Ireland and has worked for KWL since inception. She reads a lot of non-fiction but balances this out with a healthy love of bad reality tv. She also likes listening to audiobooks while cycling around Toronto, but should probably pay more attention to the road.
