The Narrative Exchange
is a contemporary literary home that brings together readers, writers, and storytellers through intimate conversation, communal events, craft workshops, and emerging publishing initiatives. We offer warm, thoughtful, and elevated experiences that celebrate the art of storytelling and the community it creates.
What We Do
The Bookshop Podcast
Thoughtful conversations with authors, booksellers, and publishing voices. Intimate, curious, and layered with meaning—these are the stories behind the stories.
Lunch with an Author
An intimate gathering where readers and authors share conversation, food, and connection. A warm literary experience that feels like sitting around a shared table.
Narrative Workshops
Craft-focused workshops led by renowned authors. Small, rich, and deeply supportive environments for writers at various stages.
Who We Are
A creative visionary with roots in film, fashion, and music, Mandy Jackson-Beverly now channels her storytelling passion into writing, teaching, and hosting The Bookshop Podcast and the Lunch With An Author Literary Series, where she champions authors and independent bookshops worldwide.
