Daisy White’s Booktique is an award-winning independent pop up bookshop. The Booktique ‘pops up’ in empty retail units/community spaces and galleries and hosts indie book signings, book launches, and artist days. We passionately support independent business and love to give people an affordable chance to showcase on the High Street. Pop Up shops also contribute to creating a vibrant, exciting High Street for shoppers.

Every time we pop up the Booktique is crammed full of literary lusciousness… selling books, luxury locally sourced goods like candles and chocolates, soft furnishings and art. It is a place where creatives can swap tips about publishing, agents, illustrators, writing, painting and generally have a good network whilst promoting their work. Where suitable we are joined by a host of ‘window models’ (chosen from the local community) bringing those book characters to life.

Daisy White is a Literary Entrepreneur, a writer, lover of Twenties hats and bacon sandwiches with brown sauce. She is also a mum of two small children who often burns the fish fingers whilst trying to catch up with her emails, and an avid runner of mud-filled adventure races. Booktique HQ is a half derelict cartshed and garage buried in the depths of the beautiful Sussex countryside. The official Booktique cat is called Asterix and likes to sleep in an Art Deco vegetable tureen amongst the boxes of books. Daisy has had many jobs, including scrubbing the blood off floors in A&E, driving an ambulance, and zooming round the world as cabin crew. Owning the Booktique means indulging her love of books, art and pop up shops! She is also a freelance consultant, taking on varied business and marketing projects.

In 2014 Daisy White’s Booktique was nominated for 6 business awards, winning the Innovation category at the JPS Business Awards.

Daisy was shortlisted for the Women of the Year Newcomer Award, and spoke at Number 10, Downing Street on Home Business/High Street pop ups with Enterprise Nation.

Consultancy projects include Pop Up Gatwick, and Pop Up Horsham (www.popuphorsham.co.uk) – giving entrepreneurs a chance to go from ‘Start Up to Stay Up…’ as they dip a toe in High Street trading.

In 2014 Daisy signed with US publisher Melange Books and her YA debut (‘Taming Tigers’) for their Fire and Ice Imprint is out July 2015. ‘Taming Tigers’ has been described as ‘Cinderella meets The Hunger Games’… For more please check out Daisy’s author site www.daisywhiteauthor.co.uk
