Deanna Brown, who was the CEO of Federated Media, has joined e-singles startup Byliner as president, the company announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

Brown has a long history in the digital media industry. Before her time at Federated Media, she held executive roles at Scripps Networks Interactive, Yahoo and AOL. She was the CEO and cofounder of Inside.com, the founder of Gaming Industry News, and the cofounder of Cond\u00e9 Nast’s digital division, Cond\u00e9Net, in 1995.<\/p>\n

Byliner, which is based in San Francisco and was founded in 2011 by former Outside<\/em>\u00a0Magazine editor John Tayman, sells fiction and nonfiction e-singles individually and also offers subscriptions<\/a>. The site also hosts a large library of content posted elsewhere and lets users follow their favorite writers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really wanted to work with a startup again, using my experience in building and scaling\u00a0promising new ventures, but I also wanted to be part of something I\u2019m personally very\u00a0passionate about,\u201d Brown said in a statement. “I love the content business, and I hold great writers and their\u00a0work in the highest esteem. I\u2019m a huge reader and own five different digital readers. Byliner is a\u00a0perfect fit — for both head and heart — and makes great sense at this point in my career.”<\/p>\n
