There’s no doubt that readers love talking shop (i.e. books) with other readers. But where and how do you cultivate that community, without the Amazon-ownership, plus an early-internet, Neopets-inspired aesthetic? Bookworm.
Bookworm is the brainchild of Amelia Goodman, a place to track your reading, find new book recommendations, and meet and connect with readers just like you. Oh, and you get a worm avatar! And AND…you can put a hat on the worm!
Today, Amelia Goodman chats all things Bookworm, cultivating reader-first communities, and why establishing spaces apart from Amazon is mission critical to the future of literature.
