Founder & Creative DirectorSecret Book Stuff Jun 2017 - PresentNewcastle, AustraliaSecret Book Stuff is a social enterprise bookshop, which began as a random act of kindness project I started in June 2017. Secret Book Stuff exists to spread the love of literature and create a little more magic in the world. Together with my partner, we run an online bookstore specialising in bookish gifts, and opened a physical bookshop in Newcastle, Australia, in May 2019 (currently closed owing to the global pandemic). For every book sold, we plant a tree through One Tree Planted and donate a book to a child in a remote Australian community.
