Dear Authors & Publishers,

Bedside Reading® was created to be a vital part of your book marketing strategy. 

Our programs place your book in the hands of guests visiting our luxury & boutique hotel partners, in the Hamptons, throughout the USA, in Canada and Greece. We also promote our authors in the media, on social media, on podcasts and additional outlets. 
​We offer author book signing events at our luxury hotels and the Hamptons

We don't sell books. What we do is promote you, the author, as a brand and your book to high-end, sophisticated readers. It's all about visibility. We want as many people as possible to read your book because "Word of Mouth" is the best compliment anyone could wish for.  If enough people talk about your book, then...you know the rest!

How do you get readers to pay attention to your book?
​
We place books where readers are vacationing, where they are meeting and attending events. We take a layered approach to book marketing. It's not one thing, it's everything.
​
It doesn't happen over night.  It takes time and patience to match the right hotel with the perfect book, to place your book in traditional media, in social media, on podcasts and when permitted at events.  

Let us know how we can help you--Jane Ubell-Meyer- Jane@bedsidereading.com

Thank you, Hotel Manager, Chase Chasteen, Hotel Yountville a Remington Hotel

Our Story
bedside reading founder
Dear Friends,
In 2002, a friend of mine, (who became my partner) suggested that I start a business placing books and products on the Hampton Jitney. Back then, If you received a gift bag from  "Buzz Bags" on The Jitney or the Luxury Liner that was us!  Shortly after we launched, we were invited to create gift bags for Sting's Rainforest Foundation, and of course the word got out and we started gifting the opening parties for Broadway premieres, then the GRAMMY awards and it seemed we were in business. In 2004, I went solo and created Madison & Mulholland. My new company delivered gift bags for first and business class passengers onUnited Airlines worked with Virgin America (yes, I did hang out with Richard Branson), gifted Paul McCartney, (for his fundraiser at UCLA), Oscar®, GRAMMY®, Emmy® winners and nominees., film festivals ,Hollywood premieres and more! It was fun and exciting and I was living my dream of a bi-coastal life and loved every minute of it and yet, never stopped gifting in the Hamptons.

My "ah-ha" moment came in March 2017, after the death of one of my dearest friends (Noreen Fraser, the brilliant brain behind Stand Up to Cancer), This devastating loss forced me to re-evaluate what I was meant to do in my life. I believe Noreen's influence "from the other side" inspired my new "WHY"--it was to go back to my love of  books .  Bedside Reading was launched on August 15, 2017 Iwith Salman Rushdie's ,"The Golden House "at the Mandarin Oriental New York. 

Over the years, I never stopped gifting in the Hamptons. however, in 2017 the products went away and I stayed true to my authors. My journey became even more meaningful  when I started focusing on my team. I have been inspired to teach, advocate and champion them by lifting them up (hopefully) to look at their life and realize anything is possible.) The Bedside Reading team has become a growing family, diverse in so many ways. and every day I am loving them more and more!

While I was a mere 61 when I started this evolution of Bedside Reading this story started 20 years ago. And over the years I am proud to have partnered with all the major publishers, the ever-growing independent and hybrid publishers as well as the incredibly talented authors that have entered my sphere. And of course, our amazing hotel partners., Everyone has played a crucial  part in our success.

My goal has always been and still remains, "How can we help our authors become more visible and grow as a brand?"
Thank you all for being a part of this wonderful experiment, "Bedside Reading."

A special thanks to my wonderful team, my new partner, Lisa Rosenstein, our publicist and "consiglieri" Elisa Fershtadt, our new project manager, Erin Cox, and our book hunters--Casey Skeen, Kellie Aldrich,  Yolanda Machado., Lauren Callahan. Of course, no one is more precious to me than my incredible husband, Rick Meyer, always right here by my side.

Happy 21 seasons! -- Jane Ubell-Meyer, Founder

Testimonial in the times of Covid-19:
I love working with Jane Ubell-Meyer at Bedside Reading!  Even when everything came to a screeching halt with Covid-19, and hotels were closed, Jane continued to find creative, unique, even sexy ways to promote her authors, and make us feel that our books were reaching people, even if it was virtually. And, the magazine she put together featuring our books is gorgeous! Here’s to Jane, and our excitement for when we can be together again with books in our hands, poolside. -Ora Nadrich, Live True

I just had a woman tell me yesterday at a two-day event in Scottsdale that she picked up my book in a hotel in Colorado. She had no idea who I was picked up my book and fell in love with me then decided to join my coaching academy and now was in Scottsdale for my two-day event. Sooo cool! -Christy Whitman,​  November 2019

Janie, You can’t tell from where you’re sitting but I’m bouncing off the walls right now with excitement seeing that Deep is in a national publication!!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you have done everything you said you would do and then some. I know you and know you wouldn’t do it or have it any other way. And for that I’m so very grateful. Love and Peace, Jeffrey J. Antonucci, Author

From the very first phone conversation with Jane, I knew I’d found a kindred spirit. Jane’s honesty, passion for people and for books, and kindness shine through in everything she does in her life and in Bedside Reading. She loves her authors and she takes fantastic care of them. Myself included! I am so thankful to be part of this program and to have someone like Jane on my team, who believes in me and in my work. It’s been a fun adventure so far, and we’re just getting started! I can’t wait to see where Bedside Reading takes me next!" -Jennifer Moorman, Author

This is SO fantastic, Thank you" - Kensington Publisher Corp.
Jane Ubell, you’re “the Oprah for the affluent” - Dianne Collins, Author of "Do You Quantum Think?"
"We placed our first book "It's Just So..." into the Bedside Reading Hamptons program last August. The results were quite dramatic. We had no other promotions going on the time and we were surprised to see our ranking and sales on Amazon spiked. We went from 1.6 million to about 200,000 in just a couple of days. Soon after we were at 31,300. Again, we had no other specific promotion at the time. We went on to incorporate the ad images in our other social media promotions. We could not be happier with the program. We were so thrilled with Jane's efforts we are placing our sequel book, "It's Just So Little" with her in the Bedside Reading program at the Acqualina Resort & Spa. We absolutely love working with her."  - Peter Trimarco, "It's Just So..."
