📚 We Love Booksellers — Episode Seven
The series continues, this time with Sarah from Books Through Bars, a Philadelphia based organization getting books into the hands of incarcerated people.
In this episode, Sarah talks about the heart behind the work and the real need for access to books, especially as resources inside prisons fall short. With the help of a huge volunteer network, Books Through Bars sends out thousands of books each year, reaching people who have no other way to access them.
We’re so excited to share more about this incredible work and the people making it happen!
Stay tuned as we keep highlighting amazing booksellers all around! ☺️

How do you capture the soul of a 7-day retreat in Costa Rica in under a minute?
You can’t. You had to be there.
This week came to life through a true collaboration between myself and @nomieve … and it was such a privilege to witness her teach.
I learned so much, felt deeply inspired, and honestly… it made me want to read more, write more, and create again.
And these writers… wow. The openness, the courage, the talent. You could feel something unfolding in real time.
This is just a glimpse of the magic we created together.
If this speaks to you… come join us for the next one 🤍

NYC, you were so good to us. Thank you for lending us your inspiration.
Special, endless and constant thank yous to everyone who spoke and was willing to share their invaluable insights with our cohort. It was so fulfilling and an incredible experience.
Thank you @nomieve@uptownbrenda@anngarvin_ again! Cannot thank you enough for putting this together.
The New York residency is the one that makes the difference in the Drexel MFA program run by @nomieve . Isn’t it time you finish that book? Isn’t it time to get it published?
