About the Newsletter:


ree

The Stories from the Pink House newsletter, written by me, Rina Barone - bookstore owner, small press publisher, and writer - takes you on a journey behind the scenes, of both an indie bookstore and the publishing industry, delves deeper into the pages of a book, and examines what it's really like to write one, from concept to publication.


What can you expect from this newsletter?


First and foremost, my thoughts on books, bookselling, and bookstores. I share what I’m reading, what I’m loving, and what I’m excited about. I muse on publishing and writing, while sharing my own journey of going back to school and writing a narrative nonfiction book. I’ll post links to other writings or stories that I find interesting, and feature interviews with authors I admire discussing everything from process to publication.


The newsletter is free and will be published weekly, with extra content for paid subscribers, including Field Notes from a Bookseller, where I share my day-to-day in the little pink shop.


Thank you for reading, and for giving this space your time. If you enjoy what I write and share — please consider telling your friends, recommending the newsletter, or becoming a subscriber. Your support allows me to keep generating creative and original content, and connecting with you, the readers.

This sounds like such a cozy and thoughtful project — indie bookstores always have the best hidden gems. The vibe reminds me of how the Martha May Costume brings whimsical charm to storytelling, just like the Pink House promises through its literary lens.

I'm so excited to dive into Stories from the Pink House; it already feels warm and full of heart. While I enjoy these stories, I'm also working on my final project and looking for the best Thesis Binding in UAE. It's nice to strike a balance between creative joy and academic goals.

Lovely newsletter concept, Rina! It's inspiring to see stories unfold from an indie bookstore. As a company profile designer in UAE, I appreciate storytelling that connects with readers and builds authentic brand narratives.
