“Today I’m talking about Pittsburgh’s amazing literary scene and my experience living here for almost a decade!” – @abookolive
From her “Letter from Pittsburgh” on Book Post to the video above, Olive Fellows (a book reviewer and booktuber who lives in Pittsburgh) has been championing literary Pittsburgh all over the internet… and we want to take a second to appreciate and champion the work she’s doing!
You can check out Olive’s YouTube channel here and follow her on Twitter at @abookolive.
If you haven’t read her “Letter from Pittsburgh” yet, here’s a quick taste:
“Certainly, a lively book community isn’t the root cause of Pittsburgh’s amazing comeback, but it is absolutely a result of it and broadcasts to the world how far a city can come. The literary scene is merely one example of how Pittsburgh has gone from a downcast steel town to a city full of potential, now with the lid off.”
My good friend @abookolive, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at @citybookspgh praising out city's incredible literary scene. Support #indiebookstores! #Pittsburgh IS the book capital of America! Tell everyone I said that. @littsburgh https://t.co/Jqg3amJRjE
