It's always helpful to know what booksellers know—because bookstores do so much more than just provide a place for browsing and buying books. Join us to talk with Josh Cook of Porter Square Books about his new book, The Art of Libromancy, and why bookselling is political, what authors should think about when speaking to booksellers, and what you need to know about Amazon and Bookshop and the landscape of buying books. Plus, Grant and Brooke swap stories about their time working in bookstores, and Brooke promised to share in the show notes a link to her essay about her months spent working (and bunking) at Shakespeare & Co. in Paris in 1999.

This week we have two people in the podcast chairs today, Rosa and Margo Flanagan from The Two Raw Sisters. You may have come across their books, app or their enormous presence on social media. Their whole thing is about making food fun again, whilst still being good for you. They are amazing business women and have so many lessons to share about building a business, collaborating with partners and so much more. In this episode they share: - The ways that eating wrong and diet culture can really affect our moods - How they first started their business - What made them decide on a 'plant first' philosophy - How they made the business work despite not actually getting along previously - How they manage deciding how much personal stuff to post online - Their experiences releasing books and why it's their favourite thing to do - The marketing tactics they used to sell 800 books in one day. Key Quotes “I think being flexible within your business and accepting your failures and learning from that is really key.” “There's a point where you need to draw the line and people don't need to know every single thing you're doing.” “All of our failures have led to sitting back and thinking, ok that didn't work let's try this. And more often than not that thing is the thing that is a success.” More information: You can find the ladies via their website: https://tworawsisters.com/recipes/ Or follow them on socials.
