The Stacks will feature new fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and children's titles. In-store events will focus on building and supporting the community, both among readers and local writers. Events will include author talks, book signings, writing groups, book clubs, and other book-themed community meet-ups.
"Our singular mission is to serve local readers and writers within our wonderfully diverse city by providing access to compelling reads, inclusive and unique events, and community. There is magic in connecting people with stories," Otis said.
As part of its focus on the local community, the Stacks has collaborated with other Savannah small businesses to host numerous events for readers and writers since September, including a pop-up at Lite Foot Company, a Grown-Up Book Fair at Late Air, and an Author Write-In and a Holiday Market at Troupial.
Otis is the author of At the Speed of Lies (Scholastic) and True or False: A CIA Analyst's Guide to Spotting Fake News (Macmillan).
