  • Name of the Bookshop and Location

  • Pictures of the Outside & Inside

  • The Overall Experience and/or Atmosphere

  • (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: 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! 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.
