Ripped Bodice Bookstore Co-Owner LEAH KOCH on Youthful Exuberance and Doing-It-Yourself

from My Job is to Play - Women in Television (Conversations on Creativity with Erin Mallon) · host Erin Mallon

Today we're talking to Leah Koch, co-owner and co-founder of The Ripped Bodice (along with her sister Bea). The Ripped Bodice is an independent brick-and-mortar bookstore devoted to the celebration of romance novels. The store is proudly Woman and Queer Owned and now has two locations, with one store in Los Angeles, California and a brand new store in Park Slope Brooklyn. It's been really inspiring watching Leah and Bea grow The Ripped Bodice over the years and see the ripple effect their passion has had on the romance community. I was psyched to sit down with her and hear about some of the steps they took to take their seed of an idea and grow it into this beautiful business they have today.
