Susie Nicklin, New Owner Of Dulwich Books, Welcomes Age Of Neo-literary Entrepreneurialism

September 1, 2015 By achuka Leave a Comment

booksellerDulwich Books has been bought by Susie Nicklin, executive chair and co-founder of The Marsh Agency, for an undisclosed sum.

The shop’s opening hours will extend following the acquisition and the shop’s book clubs will grow to include translated fiction and crime.

Nicklin, whose agency is based in London’s Mayfair, said she wanted to buy the shop as she believes the industry is entering an era of entrepreneurialism in which people with experience in the industry are undertaking multiple functions, from agenting and bookselling to hosting literary festivals.

Nicklin said: “I have always been fascinated by the days of the first John Murray, when Fleet Street was teeming with entrepreneurs engaged in every aspect of literary activity from bookselling to printing, publishing and distribution.  We are entering a similar era now, as people with extensive experience of the book industry create companies that undertake multiple functions, from agenting, bookselling and e, p and magazine publishing, to events and festivals, classes, prizes, and lively salons.”

She added: “It’s exciting to be part of this neo-literary entrepreneurialism in which retail plays such a crucial role in the cross fertilization of expertise. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work again in partnership with the authors and organisations industry-wide in developing and progressing platforms and outlets that enrich the experience of book lovers everywhere.”

Bookshop manager Mike Durant

A BOOKSHOP in Moreton-in-the-marsh is celebrating its change of name with an exclusive book reading this weekend. Christmas Birds & Books, which opened in Old Market Way just off the High Street, last October, has changed its name to Books Yule Love. To officially launch the new name, Warwick-based children’s author Simon Cheshire will be at the shop tomorrow at 11am reading extracts from his new work, Swarm, for the first time. Shop owner Richard Kemp said they changed the name because having Christmas in the title meant they were being seen as a seasonal shop.
