We started with a very simple idea: open an independent bookstore and event space that reflects and supports the community. A year later, A Novel Idea opened. We hope to create and foster a space of diversity and inclusivity, and want to help our customers fall in love with books, either for the first time or the millionth.
At A Novel Idea we believe in shopping small, not just because we're a small business, but because there are so many talented artisans in the Philadelphia area. One way we shop small is through our dedication to promoting and selling books by local authors and small presses. Check out our featured small presses!

Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support independent bookstores and give back to the book community. All sales through Bookshop support indie booksellers. Please note these tiles are stocked and shipped by a third party. A Novel Idea earns a small percentage of these sales, ordering direct is still the best way to support us.
Classes
Report
From single session to six-week intensives, we offer a variety of classes for all types of folks. In this asynchronous workshop, we will look at fairy tales by contemporary writers and explore how they have changed the classic stories we know through the likes of the Brothers Grimm and Disney. Each day students will receive reading materials, an essay from the instructor, and a writing prompt.
