BREAKING NEWS! The USA Today Bestseller list is back and better than ever now that they've partnered with The Novel Neighbor and Bookshop.org. We had the pleasure of talking with Holland Saltsman, the owner of The Novel Neighbor in St. Louis. MO, about this new partnership and what it means for indies around the country.
Holland Saltsman is the owner of The Novel Neighbor in St. Louis. MO. After 15 years in Higher Education Administration, Holland was looking to create a space for carefully curated books, a showcase for local/independent artists as well as a community gathering space and that concept for The Novel Neighbor opened in 2014. That vision of “more than a bookstore” is now a space where people can take a cocktail class, drop their kids off for a book-themed birthday party, attend a nostalgic “Grown Up Book Fair” with community partners, engage in a Q and A with bestselling authors, all while getting personalized book recommendations from some of the best staff in the business. In 2019, Holland founded the Noble Neighbor after seeing the need to connect authors / books with underserved St. Louis school districts. Holland is originally from Kentucky where she still visits the family farm and travels - especially to music festivals - as often as she can.
