Sscarlet's Web Bookstore is a Black Woman independently owned, online-based bookstore, founded in August 2020 in Brooklyn, NY.
Their owner has always loved reading books and obtaining knowledge of all kinds but struggled to find books written by authors of color front and center in one central location. She wanted to create a space that celebrated beauty, creativity, and greatness in written form, so Sscarlet’s Web Bookstore was born.
Their mission is to offer books from well-known and unknown authors alike that will allow you to learn, love, laugh, and cry, sometimes at the same time.
