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

We offer our authors the standard 60/40 consignment deal, so authors will make 60% of every book sold in our store. Once approved, we ask authors to drop off one copy of each book. We will get you added to our system and will request your name, email, phone number, and address.

Your book will live in our local author section and sometimes the appropriate genre depending on space. Regardless, we always try to rotate books so every author gets some face time with customers.

Once copies of your books sell, you will receive payment directly to your bank account via Square each month.

To get your book(s) added to our shelves, you can reach out to us via our Contact form on our website.

We will review every book for quality of content and professional formatting. We aim to respond within one business week, but please be patient as we are currently a one-woman show. ;)

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

We ask authors to use their own POS system to sell copies of their books. This way, you can keep 100% of your book sales on the day of your event.

Some additional details:

• Length: We recommend the event be 1–3 hours long

• Dates: We recommend Saturdays for the highest foot traffic. You can also do other days of the week that work better for you as long as it is during our business hours. (Hours may change depending on season so check Google and social media.)

• Setup: We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before your start time, depending on the complexity of your set up.

Bookstore provides:

• Table + chairs

• Seating for customers

• Signing area

• Marketing on social and posters in store

Author provides:

• Books

• Pens, signage, display materials

• Promoting their event to family and friends

We highly encourage every author share the event with others to spread awareness and drive traffic to the bookstore for their big day.

If you’re interested in moving forward with an event, you can reach out to us via our Contact form on our website to schedule a date and time.

NOTE: Some of these details may change as we evolve our author events process.

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 and offer reader remedy book bundles either à la carte or already curated to satisfy an 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 so excited to bring the love of books, the written word, storytelling, entertainment, and more art to the community!

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! (We are open to community members who would like to start their own book club on behalf of the book store, so please reach out!)

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

• Groups: Writing groups, critique groups, Stitch & Book (i.e., crochet, knit, sew, embroidery, or other granny hobbies), one-on-one or group literacy tutoring sessions, study groups, etc.

• Retreats: Emphasis on writing, editing, authorship, healing, crafting, women empowerment, and more.

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

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

• Parties: Book-to-film adaptation streaming nights, sleepover at the bookstore, new book release parties, etc.

Ask us about bookish birthdays, bachelorette/bachelor parties, bridal or baby showers, and other celebratory occasions at the bookstore!

We are a dry space, so our bookstore does not sell alcoholic beverages or host events involving alcohol.

Our bookstore does not have food, beverage licenses; however, we know how well beverages and books go together, so you can bring your own snacks to certain events like book club or writing groups. Also, we offer coffee and hot cocoa from our Keurig on a donation basis!

If you prefer to stop at 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 attached, workspaces upstairs, closest distance to our bookstore)

• Planet Perk (veteran-owned, supports homeless vets, cat cafe in back, and a Pay-It-Forward model)

• New Moon (beans roasted on site, open mics, and delicious burritos and quesadillas!)

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

Yes, you can order gift cards online or in person at the store! Please read the details below before purchasing for our policy and limitations.

How to Order Gift Cards

You can order e‑gift cards for online sales only through our website: Order an e‑gift card

You can order physical gift cards for in-store purchases only at our brick-and-mortar store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Gift Card Policy

We offer two types of gift cards:

• Online e‑gift cards (purchased through our website) → usable online only

• Physical in‑store gift cards (purchased at the shop) → usable in‑store only

If you bought or received a gift card and want to purchase in the opposite format, we can convert it one time. Contact us and we’ll switch it over for you!

This helps us keep your balance accurate, since our online and in‑store systems don’t automatically sync.

Thank you for your patience and understanding with this process!

We are currently hiring for part-time work ranging from $13-$15 per hour.
