When I first discovered what Elizabeth is up to, I was fascinated. I love finding creatives who have found a completely unique way to turn their passion into a business. Through Quarterlane, Elizabeth has found a way to literally breathe new life into a common commodity… books.
Elizabeth Lane is the founder of Quarterlane, a luxury box filled with select literary gems and art delivered to book lovers on a quarterly basis. Combining two of her life passions – curation and books – Elizabeth joins readers with stories she thinks they will love.
An avid runner, Elizabeth is also a running ambassador for Every Mother Counts, an initiative based in New York City which supports global maternal health initiatives. On behalf of EMC, Elizabeth has run 3 marathons and numerous half-marathons, raising both funds and awareness for Every Mother Counts and spotlighting their significant work to bring mothers and their babies safely through pregnancy, labor and delivery.
