Frequently Asked Questions

  • We sell new and used books of all genres for all ages. We also sell local author books. (If you’re an author, please see the “I’m an author” questions below.)

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

  • 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 their book. Once the book sells, we will pay you for your sales.

    To get your book(s) added to our shelves/to learn more, you can fill out this form.

    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 have a few options:

    For authors wishing to use their own POS system to sell copies of their books, we ask for $25 for hosting you in our space. With this option, you can keep 100% of your book sales on the day of your event.

    For authors who wish for the bookstore to order copies and use its POS system for the event, we will do the standard 60/40 split for any books sold that day. (See previous question if you want more info on this.)

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

    Some additional details:

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

    • Dates: We recommend Saturdays for highest foot traffic. 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 30-60 minutes before your start time to set up.

    • Table + chairs

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

    Event offerings could 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 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 tutoring sessions, study groups, etc.

    • Retreats: Emphasis on writing, editing, authorship, healing, crafting, 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.

  • Our space does not have food, beverage or liquor licenses; 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)
