I am so excited to bring you this chat with Danielle Helzer. Danielle and I met a little over 15 years ago at the Nebraska Writing Project. She has been a teacher, worked for a non-profit, and now she is set to open her own bookstore. I'm secretly living vicariously through her as she begins this new adventure!

We talk about why she wanted to open a bookstore and her desire for it to be a love letter to her community. She wants it to be a place where people who are often marginalized feel not only welcomed but also accepted. Enjoy our chat!

You can find Danielle Helzer and Rooted Books & Gifts on Instagram. And, even if you aren't anywhere near Grand Island, Nebraska, you can still support her bookstore. When you make a purchase on bookshop.org, just put in Rooted Books & Gifts as the store you would like to support and a small portion goes to it.
