Hertwig (Juiceboxers) somehow completed his novel while opening, with his partner, Paper Birch Books, one of Edmonton’s coolest indie bookstores. O’Neill has worked for bookstores big (Indigo) and small; she is currently at Drawn & Quarterly, where her painted illustrations on their windows change monthly. Smith co-owns Owl’s Nest Books, Calgary’s oldest independent bookstore—and the Imaginarium’s book-selling partner. For anyone who dreams of owning a bookstore, here’s the inside story.
