Want to Join Us as an Author?

We’re always interested in meeting authors who share our passion for books, ideas, and connecting people across cultures.

Our author events are held four times a year, so please understand that it may take some time before we reach out. We’ll review the submissions and contact authors whose work and perspectives align with what we’re creating at Global Bookish Laboratory.

I love traveling, and I also enjoy visiting local bookstores and libraries in each place. So, I really would love to have you share your favorite bookstores on to the google forms here. I’d love to create a community-recommended bookstore map, and I’ll keep adding to it little by little below💖

Thanks, Anju
