01: Community
Our Bookish Community Keeps Growing!
Our following continues to grow across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and we couldn't be more grateful for everyone who has joined us along the way.
Every follow, share, recommendation, and interaction helps us connect more authors with readers who love discovering new stories. Whether you've been here since the beginning or recently stumbled into our little corner of the internet, we're so glad you're here!
A Night with Our Bookish Community
This September, Interleaf Ink attended Reader's Night, hosted by Epiphany Lounge at Grand Pines! We spent the evening exploring the event, checking out the wonderful vendors, meeting authors, and connecting with fellow bookish folk.
One of our favorite things about being part of this community is seeing the creativity, passion, and support that bring readers, authors, and small businesses together. Events like Reader's Night remind us just how wonderful the bookish community can be, and we're always excited to be part of it!
Thank you for continuing to grow with us! Whether you're discovering a new indie author, supporting a local bookish business, or volunteering your time to help an author improve their manuscript, you're helping make this community something truly special.
