Frequently Asked Questions

  • We sell new and used books of all genres for all ages. We also sell local author books.

    Our self-help, personal development, and inspirational sections are meant to accompany our Reader Remedy Book Bundles, but any book can be selected.

  • As a bookstore run by an author, YES! We love supporting other local authors as long as we have the space.

    Our consignment deal is 60/40, so authors will make 60% of every book sold in our store. Once approved, we ask authors to drop off one copy of their book. Once the book sells, we will pay you for your sales.

  • Absolutely! We’d love to host you for an author event.

    We have a few options:

    For authors wishing to use their own POS system to sell copies of their books, we ask for $25 to help cover some of the marketing costs for hosting your event, but you can keep 100% of your book sales on the day of your event!

    For authors who wish for the bookstore to order copies for the event, we will do the usual 60/40 split for any books sold that day.

    Regardless of which direction you choose, we can schedule a time for you to drop them off or mail them to the store during my open business hours.

    Some additional details:

    • Length: We recommend the event be 1–2 hours long

    • Dates: We recommend Saturdays for highest foot traffic. We open at 10 a.m. Saturday but can let you in earlier depending on the start of your event. You can also do other days of the week that work better for you as long as we aren’t closed. (Hours are still a work in progress)

    • Setup: Arrive at least 30 minutes before your start time to set up. Earlier is fine if you need it.

  • We're author-owned, so we bring a writer's perspective to everything we do through writing workshops and bookish events.

    Beyond books, we carry apothecary and wellness products, handmade artwork from local artists, and offer reader remedy book bundles either à la carte or already curated to satisfy any emotional need.

    In the future, we hope to offer publishing services for aspiring authors.

    We want this to be more than a bookstore; we want it to be an inclusive, creative, healing home.

  • We are a small team getting us started, so events may be limited until we grow our staff, but our goal is to start offering events in Fall 2026.

    Event offerings will include:

    • Author Events: Book launches, book signings, Q&A, live readings, etc.

    • Book Clubs: Already established groups looking for a new venue to host or those looking to start one from scratch. All genres welcome!

    • Workshops/Classes: Writing, poetry, editing, self-publishing, one-on-one book coaching, creative flow, etc.

    • Groups: Writing groups, critique groups, crochet (knit, sew, embroidery, etc.), tutoring groups, study groups, etc.

    • Retreats: Focuses on writing, artist, author, healing, or creativity.

    • Healing Events: Meditation classes, holistic healing educational sessions, tarot readings, reader remedy book bundle build, etc.

    • Crafts: Book-themed crafts like decoupage bookmarks, bedazzled books, book-page folding; junk journaling; crochet and embroidery projects; jewelry-, soap-, and candle-making, etc.

    • Parties: Book to Film Adaptation streaming nights, sleepover at the bookstore, new book release parties, etc.

    • Other Events: Book fair, book ball, and more.

    Any of our events could be hosted for sober birthdays, bachelorette/ bachelor parties, bridal or baby showers, and other celebratory occasions.

  • Sadly, our space is currently too small for a cafe and we do not have the right permits; however, we know how well beverages and books go together, so we will be offering coffee and hot cocoa from our Keurig on a donation basis!

    If you prefer a cafe, there are multiple local options downtown for you to support on your way to the bookstore!

    Check out:

    • Elsewhere (modern vibes, gift market, workspaces, closest distance to our bookstore)

    • Planet Perk (Veteran-owned, cat cafe, and Pay It Forward model)

    • New Moon (beans roasted on sight, open mics, those burritos!)

    • Caramel Crisp Cafe (coffee, gift shop, bookstore combo, best known for their specialty cookies and popcorn)

  • We are not hiring at this time, but will hopefully start offering interviews to applicants by the end of Summer 2026.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page, which will come directly to our email. We aim to respond quickly, but we are a small team, so we’re grateful for your patience!
