Laurence O'Bryan
Founder
I started BooksGoSocial in 2013 after being traditionally published by Harper Collins in the U.S. and U.K. and being translated into 10 languages. I previously worked for over 25 years in IT marketing and I was also the Director of the College of Digital Marketing in Dublin. I also founded the International Dublin Writers’ Festival. I love great stories and meeting up with other writers.
