THREE GUYS ONE BOOK originated as a way for three friends in the book business - Jason Chambers, Jason Rice and Dennis Haritou — to talk about books together. Featuring short reviews of stories and novels, publishing news, photography, and the popular 3G1B group discussion, the site launched in early 2008 with a conversation about Mark Sarvas’ Harry, Revised. In early 2009, Jonathan Evison, whose debut novel All About Lulu was another of the 3G1B early group efforts, accepted an invitation to become the mysterious “fourth guy.” Today, 3G1B has developed to include guest posts from writers and publishing personalities, extensive interviews, even more reviews, and most popularly, “conversations” in which the four guys opine on subjects such as ebooks, writing techniques, bookselling, p.r., and the future of publishing.

Dennis Haritou has bought books for Barnes and Noble for seven years, for warehouse clubs for five, and has led a book club. He is currently Director of Merchandise at Bookazine.

Jason Chambers is the CEO of the LitBreaker Advertising Network. He has been in the book business since 1993, including tenures as General Manager/Buyer at Book Peddlers in Athens, GA, Buyer and Merchandise Manager at Bookazine, an independent bookstore consultant, and a WordPress web designer for book blogs and author sites.

Jason Rice has worked in the book business for ten years at Random House in sales and marketing and Barnes & Noble as a community relations manager. Currently he is an Assistant Sales Manager and Buyer at Bookazine. His fiction has appeared in several literary magazines online and in print. He was once the pseudonymous book reviewer Frank Bascombe for Ain’t It Cool News. He’s taught photography to American students in the South of France, worked as a bicycle messenger in New York City, and for a long time worked very hard in the Film & Television business in NYC, on television shows; Pete & Pete, Can We Shop ( Joan Rivers old shopping show), movies: The Pallbearer, Flirting With Disasterand countless commericals, even a Christina Applegate movie that went straight to video. You can see his photos at Tom Crown Kills.

Jonathan Evison is the author of All About Lulu and West of Here. He likes rabbits. He also likes being the ambiguous fourth guy in the “Three Guys” triumvirate. He is the founder of the secret society, The Fiction Files (if he told, he’d have to kill you). He has a website, but it’s old. Just google him.

Victoria Patterson is the author of the novel This Vacant Paradise and the story collection Drift.  She was a waitress for close to twenty years; as a direct result, she’s a generous tipper.

Morgan Macgregor is a reader and blogger living in Los Angeles. She likes contemporary American fiction and talking about it. Probably because she’s Canadian.
