Ben LeRoy ~ Crooked Lane Books

Ben LeRoy has long been fascinated by the power of words and story to connect and expand the world. He is a Senior Editor for Crooked Lane Books and was the founder and publisher of the critically acclaimed publishing companies Bleak House Books (2000-2009) and Tyrus Books (2009-2017) until the latter was sold to Simon & Schuster. During his time in publishing, Ben was a frequent speaker at conferences and routinely interviewed for pieces about the industry. In 2014, after the suicide death of a friend, Ben did volunteer work in all 50 states as part of the Be Local Everywhere project.
