The Written Nerd is the nom de net of a blogger who works in an independent bookstore in New York City’s SoHo
neighborhood. She writes:  "Someday I will have a bookstore of my own in Brooklyn. I
love reading books, talking about books, and being where literature
hits the streets. I think independent bookstores can be a source for
culture, community, and social justice. I live in Brooklyn’s Park Slope
neighborhood with the ALP (Adorably Literate Partner), who reads
everything that I don’t. You can reach me here: booknerdnyc at
earthlink dot net."
