ABOUT US

Meet our Founder

Hi, I’m Alyssa Granlund (and this is my Borzoi, Isa)— though mystery lovers may know me as Lyssa Lund. I’m an indie author, lifelong reader, and believer that stories connect us in ways nothing else can. I started ReaderCrate to share that joy — to help readers discover new favorite authors and give indie writers a spotlight to shine. Every ReaderCrate is curated with heart, a little mystery, and a whole lot of bookish love.
