Whether your store is new or long established, it can be profitable to consider how your store could be structured differently than your current business model. Join a conversation with booksellers who will provide information on starting a new nonprofit bookstore or transitioning an existing bookstore to a nonprofit.

This conversation will be moderated by Veronica Liu, Founder Collective Member & General Coordinator, Word Up Community Bookshop/Librería Comunitaria (New York, NY). Presenters include: Jamie Rogers Southern, Executive Director, Bookmarks (Winston-Salem, NC); Jeff Martin, Founder, Magic City Books and Booksmart Tulsa (Tulsa, OK); Jeff Deutsch, Director, Seminary Co-op Bookstores (Chicago, IL); Praveen Madan, CEO, Kepler's Books and Magazines (Menlo Park, CA)

Open conversation for booksellers and bookstore owners to share best practices, talk about their business, & crowdsource ideas & solutions to problems. All attendees should come prepared to engage in conversation during each session.  ABA will send the meeting link to the entire bookstore membership a few hours before each event. If booksellers do not receive the email invitation (and cannot find it in their spam folder), they should reach out to [email protected].
