I’m here to help you in any way I can with all things IndieBound—whether it’s using the materials in your store, spreading the message in your community, or just hearing your thoughts on how the movement will evolve.

I’m incredibly excited to be just a small part of the IndieBound movement—and to have fun spreading the message with all of you. I’ve been an indie bookseller, I’m still an indie bookstore customer, and I’ve always loved what indies represent: free-thinking, originality and enthusiasm.

I love the message of IndieBound, but I also love the creative side of the movement. Get your hands dirty (maybe not literally) and make unique IndieBound materials that reflect your store’s individuality. For any specific issues you may have with production—like downloading images and files from the Online Identity Manager, finding one of the fonts we’ve used, or creating some of the cool stuff inspired by the Free Will Catalog—call or email me any day of the week.

IndieBound is spreading within regional associations as well as individual bookstores, and I’m hoping to attend some regional gatherings in person. If your store wants to request a visit with me, write me an email and we can look into organizing a meeting for several stores in the area.

Feel free to contact me anytime with questions about IndieBound materials or for production help and ideas. I also want to see all the great IndieBound displays and events you come up with, inspired by all this indie enthusiasm. Share them with me at paige@bookweb.org, or show them off at the IndieBound Bookseller Exchange, on the ABA Forums, and at IndieBound.org. I’ll be looking for your signature on the Declaration of IndieBound!
