🚨A locals only bookshop in Santa Monica!

Zibby is one of my favorite smaller publishers. I randomly discovered them on TikTok, coincidentally owned a couple books they published, and built a connection with the team over our shared love of unique storytelling. They recently opened a brick-and-mortar store featuring their works as well as other best sellers to serve a part of Southern California with historically limited access to independent bookstores.

In their own words:

•People who read the same book are no longer strangers.

•When we talk about books, we're really talking about life.

•Women supporting women works.

•A small upstart can make a tiny dent in a crowded landscape.

•Building a company around values not numbers can lead to the same results.

•Community, caring, and collaboration is more powerful than competition.

•We offer gracious hospitality.

•We surround ourselves with nice, smart people.

•Life is short.

•A new model is possible.

•What we're doing matters.

With a mantra like that, why would you want to purchase a story from anyone else?
