Listen "Running a Bookstore with Maura Cheeks"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how a bookstore runs? We think about it all the time, and we are so thrilled to get the scoop from the owner of Liz’s Book Bar in Brooklyn, and author of Acts of Forgiveness, Maura Cheeks! We chat with Maura about her dreams of opening a bookstore, what the opening process entails, how Liz’s Book Bar stands out, the book selection process, and how she published her first novel and opened Liz’s Book Bar in the same year. A book frequently purchased at Liz’s Book Bar is Scorpionfish by Natalie Bakopoulos. Obsessions Becca - Ken Leung being miles on Lost and Eric in Industry.
