Real Stories from Independent Usborne Partners
Meet some of our Partners and discover how their bookselling business has changed their life...
Meet Lizzy
"I was working part-time but after childcare costs I realised I was only bringing home around £20 a month. I started with small pop-up bookshops at toddler groups and soon discovered how much I loved sharing books and getting children excited about reading." |
Meet Nicky
"Over the past ten years, I’ve built up my bookselling business in Germany to the point where I’m consistently one of the biggest school sellers in the company. If you’re wondering whether this is for you, then honestly, there is nothing to lose and potentially so much to gain!" |
Meet Laura
"As a Primary School teacher, I always wanted to work with schools. Being a Partner earns me commission and plays to my strengths as a teacher. I mostly work online, which worked well when my children were small. Now I pick and choose when I attend in-person events." |
Meet Claire
"I have had several jobs in my past, but following heart failure in 2003, I was told not to work. My brain can't sit still though! As a Partner, I feel empowered and very lucky to be running my own business – it energises me, my brain is satiated, and I’m able to limit my working hours to keep my health issues under control." |
Usborne allowed me to believe in myself and build my confidence. I realised that stepping out of my comfort zone was what I needed to see the best version of myself.
