Olsson's Staffers Launch New Venture
-- Publishers Weekly, 11/20/2008 7:27:00 AM
Two former staffers from Olsson's, Alicia Greene and Terence K. McCann, have launched a new business called Offsite Books Inc., which will sell books at various events. Greene, who was the marketing director and events coordinator at Olsson's, the Washington, D.C., indie bookstore that closed this past fall, and McCann, Olsson's former CFO, intend to set up bookselling operations at local venues, like nonprofits and law firms, as well as at private parties. The company intends, as Greene said in a memo, "to be a key player in the always-active Washington, D.C., events scene." Greene added that one of the areas Olsson's thrived in was offsite events, and there is "unmet demand" for this kind of service in the D.C. area. Already Offsite Books has run events for Kerrey Kennedy and Newt Gingrich; the company can be found online at
www.offsitebooks.com.
