In 2024, Jay, the owner of The Obsidian Flower Bookshop attended an indie author signing that sparked an idea. What started as a love for blind date's with a book naturally evoloved into a mission to spotlight indie authors. We created a customized questionnaire, where we reviewed, read, and chose the books we thought would best fit our audience. Then we took that information and came up with customized marketing and custom merch that fit the book or series. Each month featured a different author thus, our Author of the Month Book Box was born.
By January 2025, with the support of fellow book lovers, authors, and creators, owner Jay began getting involved with more pre-order campaigns, as well as marketing for indie authors, free of charge. Our mission is dedicated to pairing readers with unforgettable stories, books that take you on a journey out of your everyday life. Since then, the brand has grown into collaborations with incredible authors, a thriving reader community, and regular pop-up shops.
Jay has continued building her vision through social media, pop-up events, and curated experiences, with the ultimate goal of opening a brick-and-mortar bookstore in Michigan one day.Â
