We’re three booksellers at two of the best indie bookstores in Atlanta, with the desire to bring more romance to Atlanta.
Preet is the dedicated romance guru. She reads like a bullet train and has loved romance since she was probably too young to read it. But haven’t we all been there?
Hannah loves a romance and as an agent’s assistant she not only loves a good story but KNOWS a good story. She’s the glue of the team keeping Vania and Preet’s ideas grounded and organized. We all need a friend like that!
And Vania much like Preet started reading romance in middle school eventually leading her to write herself. She loves good love stories so much she’s been photographing them for years. She’s constantly dreaming, cooking up stories, and tenaciously going for the big ideas.
What started as friends talking about their favorite books ended up becoming a book festival and Vania, Preet and Hannah had a blast putting together a weekend to bring the community together.
The Love Y’all Team couldn’t do this festival without the passionate love and excitement of readers like them. So THANK YOU to everyone for coming out to our big romance party in Atlanta!
