Jennifer A. Perry has spent her career creating educational resources and experiences for all ages as a publisher, editor, children’s media producer, museum educator, and teacher. She is lucky to have worked hands-on with well-known brands ranging from Sesame Street to Disney to Harry Potter. As the Director of Audiobooks at Barnes & Noble, she manages content and marketing strategies for the B&N Audiobooks platform. In this role, she is part of the team that selects books across a wide spectrum of subjects and genres to introduce to audiobook listeners. Her not-so-secret passions are exploring American history sites and stories, collecting children’s books from the 19th century to the present, and visiting libraries — the very grand and the very small — everywhere she travels.
