❦ How do I submit a bookshop?
Below are some things to gather when visiting a shop! Once you have all of the bolded bullets, you are ready to click the “SUBMIT A SHOP” button:
Name of the Bookshop and Location
Pictures of the Outside & Inside
The Overall Experience and/or Atmosphere
Your Favorite Section or Best Aspect of the Shop
(Optional) Any Additional Photos: merchandise/bookmark, unique sections of the shop, children’s sections, favorite places within the shop, anything else of interest.
(Optional) Recommendations/Info from Bookshop employee(s): currently reading or favorite books/authors, information about the name of the shop, when they opened, what events they are hosting, community connections, anything else learned.
Tip: Take a bunch of pictures so you remember different aspects of the shop when you write your short blurb! Feel free to let the shop workers know what website the pictures are for!
❦ What happens after submitting?
Your write-up will be turned into a published post with all of the information and pictures formatted like the others! If you want to see the post ahead of time, you can leave your email in the form. If you see something you’d like to change after being published - just shoot us an email: info@bookshop.love.
❦ How do I find shops that have been written about?
You can use the search option in the Bookshops tab to search for names, locations, and keywords/tags. Another option is to check out the Maps.
❦ Can I add a shop already on the site?
Absolutely! What you find interesting may be different from those who visited it before and the shop will likely change over time.
