A Revolutionary Haven for Self-Published Authors: The Under Covers Bookstore and Café

The Under Covers Bookstore is leading a literary revolution as the world's first bookstore only for self-published authors. This venture is aiming to change the publishing landscape, offering a dedicated platform for independent writers to showcase their works, free from the constraints of traditional publishing gatekeepers.

 

The Under Covers Bookstore

The Under Covers is a beacon of hope for self-published authors, providing a space where their voices can be heard and celebrated. This concept is set to transform the future of storytelling, offering a platform for independent voices often eclipsed in a market dominated by major publishing houses. With its forward-thinking approach, The Under Covers is poised to become a central hub for literary discovery and the championing of undiscovered authors.

A New Chapter in Publishing

Situated in Bournemouth, The Under Covers is not merely a bookstore or café; it's a movement towards a more inclusive and diverse literary landscape. "Our aim is to level the playing field," states Kamelia (Kelly), the visionary behind this project. "We're committed to creating a space where self-published authors receive the recognition and respect they deserve, and where readers can unearth a world of untapped storytelling."

The Vision Behind the Movement

In the conventional publishing realm, many independent authors struggle to gain visibility. The Under Covers aspires to alter this narrative, offering a beacon of hope to these creative spirits. The dream is expansive: commencing from the UK and branching out to the United States and further, the objective is to establish a chain of stores synonymous with self-published success.

Why It Matters

Supporting The Under Covers means championing creative independence and authenticity in storytelling. It's about celebrating literary diversity and giving a voice to those who might otherwise remain unheard. “Every backer is not just investing in a store; they're elevating a community of writers, endorsing the freedom of creativity, where the authors dictate how the story unfolds, free from formulaic constraints,” Kelly emphasises.

Otty, the Mascot


Symbolising the essence of The Under Covers is Otty, a mascot created by Marshall, aged 10, and named by Ashley, aged 8. Otty embodies the joy and creativity at the core of this endeavour, representing the communal and familial spirit of the project.
