Since a very young age I have been passionate about books and reading.
I began my journey into books at a very young age, inspired by stories read to me as a child and visiting local libraries and bookshops with my Mother. My first job was working on a Bookshop and my love for books and reading has never wained,
In 2019 I decided to start my own business selling books and purchased a £60 box of new books from a warehouse in Haywards Heath and started my Bookstall on Heanor Market. This then grew to a few crates of books being sold around different Markets and Events in the Derbyshire area.
In 2023 I rented some space in Infinite Wellbeing, a local Community Centre giving an opportunity for small businesses to showcase their wares, helping me to grow my brand and become recognised as a local Bookseller.
In July 2024 I released my first book, Bizy Bookworms Reading Journal designed with adults in mind who want to read or get back into reading but have no idea where to start.
On 31st August 2024 I opened my first bricks and mortar bookshop in Heanor, Derbyshire selling books for all ages and interests.
Not everyone has time to browse at my Bookshop or Bookstalls, so I have created my online shop to bring my shop into your home.
I continue to run my Market Stall for local events, as well as having my shop. For updates on these events please check my Facebook page www.bizylizy.co.uk
Any orders placed can be collected from Market locations as well as my Bookshop at 27 Market Place, Heanor, Derbyshire DE75 7EG. A minimum of 48 hours notice is desirable for any order being collected to ensure there is enough time to pick and pack your order.
