Booksellers: 'Community of People in Similar Situations Who All Want to See Each Other Succeed'
"One of the wonderful things that has surprised me is just how supportive the bookselling community is. I regularly chat with other independent bookstore owners, sharing ideas, pain points, and vendor information. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming as I've navigated opening the store. It's just so great to have a community of people in similar situations who all want to see each other succeed."
--Olivia Hinchberger, who founded Word Squirrel in Kincardine, Ont., Canada, last May, in a q&a with Quill & Quire
