Support Staci's Dream: Romance Landia Bookstore

Help Us Open Romance Landia: A Bookstore Built on Love for Indie Romance

Hi! My name is Staci, and I’m the proud owner of Romance Landia, a dream years in the making. Books have been my life for as long as I can remember. For the past five years, I’ve been immersed in the amazing community of Bookstagram, sharing my favorite reads, meeting incredible readers and authors, and building friendships that feel like family. Now, I’m ready to take the next step and turn my passion into something tangible—a brick-and-mortar bookstore specializing in indie romance.

Why Indie Romance?

Romance Landia isn’t just a bookstore; it’s a love letter to the authors who put their hearts on the page. Indie authors work tirelessly, often without the backing of big publishers, to bring their stories to life. I have so much respect for every author, whether indie or traditionally published, but my heart beats especially hard for the indies who fight to make their mark in the literary world. Their stories are full of love, emotion, and passion, and I want to create a space that celebrates and promotes their voices.

The Dream

Romance Landia will be more than a place to buy books—it will be a community hub for readers and authors. Imagine walking into a cozy space filled wall-to-wall with romance novels, where every shelf invites you to discover new authors and old favorites. A place where you can meet the writers behind the books, join a book club, or sip coffee with friends while talking about the latest romance releases.

Why I Need Your Help

Opening a bookstore is no easy feat, and there are a lot of ins-and-outs behind the scenes—from renting the perfect space to cleaning, furnishing, and stocking shelves with the most amazing reads. I’m reaching out to you because I can’t do this alone. Every dollar raised will go toward:

• Rent and utilities for the bookstore space

• Renovations and setup to make Romance Landia feel like home

• Bookshelves, seating, and decor to create a warm and inviting atmosphere

• Inventory—starting with the best indie romances

• Covering the operational costs needed to get us through those first few crucial months

This isn’t just a bookstore to me—it’s the culmination of years of dreaming, reading, and connecting with the people who make the book community so special.

How You Can Help

Your support means the world to me, and there are a few ways you can get involved:

• Donate to the campaign—no amount is too small!

• Share this campaign with fellow readers, friends, and family.

• Join our Founders Club and be one of the first to experience Romance Landia when we open!

Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart

I’m beyond grateful for every single bit of support. Whether you’ve followed me on Bookstagram, read a recommendation I’ve posted, or shared a favorite book with me—thank you. Romance Landia is going to be a place where the love of books thrives, and I can’t wait to welcome you through the doors.

Together, we can create something beautiful—a space where stories are celebrated, authors are honored, and readers are always at home.

With all my love,

Staci

Owner of Romance Landia
