About Us & Contact

Zibby Media, a women-led start-up founded by Zibby Owens, is dedicated to deepening connections between readers and authors, and to building a community of book lovers. Zibby Media is comprised of a boutique publishing house, a daily interview podcast, retreats and events, a book club, and Zibby’s Bookshop, an independent bookstore in Santa Monica, CA.

If you have ever loved a book, you're in the right place. Stories are best when shared.

When Zibby Owens started her podcast in 2018, she had no idea it would lead to what the L.A. Times calls "the Zibby-verse." But after turning 40 and getting divorced, she rediscovered her passion for books and followed her instincts, perhaps honed by her MBA, expanding her offerings in ways designed to help all parts of the literary community.

Zibby Media has not only connected countless people as Zibby hoped, but founding it completely changed her own life. She has become a bestselling author with six books of her own, plus a publisher, podcaster, CEO, Jewish activist, and indie bookstore owner. Zibby, remarried to Kyle Owens, has lived out what she learned after many losses: If not now, when?
