We are Scotland's first romance fiction brick-and-mortar bookshop and we need your help supporting our journey.

by Book Lovers Bookshop in Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Book Lovers Bookshop is Edinburgh's first romance fiction bookshop. I aim to create a bookshop that is a safe and creative space for romance fiction readers and authors. As a Queer and Disabled person myself, I aim to uplift diverse romance authors and stories while giving the romance community a place to thrive and celebrate their love for the genre.

Currently, we are in the process of securing a lease on a location, and need your help in order to make our dream of a romance fiction brick-and-mortar bookshop in the UK a reality.

If you decide to donate, we will be using the funds received to not only order the incredible books we are excited to sell, but funds will also be used to put together and fund the creation and construction of the bookshop's commercial retail shop.
