Consulting Katie Orphan Bookseller, Curator, Author About Katie has been a bookseller for more than 15 years, with most of that time spent as a book buyer and manager. In her role as a buyer, she has developed a strong sense of what titles will sell in any particular environment, based on both macro and micro trends. Her work as a writer with an emphasis on literary tourism and connecting literature and authors to not only places, but to the other aspects of their lives that interest her (namely food & drink) has also led to creating a niche for her in curating collections for local businesses. Whether you are looking for help in adding books to your own retail inventory, creating a library for clients or yourself, or a better understanding of how the book business works, Katie is eager to assist.
