We are the only indie bookstore in Regina, Saskatchewan. We champion local authors, Saskatchewan publishers and provide a hub for the literary community. The bookstore has been in business for four years having survived the entire pandemic, and we turn a small profit every year. The business currently employs five people.
Our books are all brand new and we are a generalist store (selling all genres) with a special focus on locally produced books. We regularly partner with organizations such as the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild and SaskBooks (publishers association) and we are a member of the Canadian Independent Booksellers Association.
We opened our second location in July 2023 that allows us to host bigger and better attended events (book launches, open mic nights, local author markets etc.). The venue can accommodate 30 people with a stage area, and commercial kitchen. To date we have done several high profile events with established authors, which have been very successful. We wish to build on this and develop a full events schedule for the next year. In between events, the location is a coffee shop with a smaller range of books for sale, complimenting our original bookstore location.
Due to the current economic climate, supporting this place requires more of an investment than I am capable of alone at present and so I am seeking funding to support this venue and help establish the business as the place to promote Saskatchewan's vibrant literary community.
