Woolly Bear Books and Gifts
Heads up: No authors who use AI in their writing or cover design. Best-selling indie genres are fantasy, romantasy, sci-fi, romance, horror, mystery/thriller, adult fiction, picture books and middle grade; YA and nonfiction do poorly. They value authors who visit the shop and actively promote that their books are stocked there.
