The Next Chapter: One Year Later – A Year of Growth, Books, and Endless Tea!

Can you believe it’s been one whole year since The Next Chapter began its journey? Time flies when you’re living in a world of books, stickers, mugs, and all things literary! From humble beginnings to now, we’re thrilled to share just how much we’ve grown, learned, and most importantly—had fun along the way. So, grab your favourite cup of tea (or coffee, no judgment), settle in, and read on for all the exciting updates from our first year.

Expanding Our Range – New Products Galore!

In just one year, we’ve expanded our range of products to include all sorts of exciting new goodies. From seasonal items that are perfect for any time of year (hello, Halloween pins and Xmas sets!) to custom artwork —we’ve been busy crafting fresh designs that will bring a little more magic to your daily life. Whether you're looking for that perfect holiday gift or something to make your reading nook a bit more bookish, we’ve got it covered!

Brand Reps – Meet the Team!

We’re absolutely thrilled to have partnered with brand reps who help spread the love for The Next Chapter on social media. These awesome individuals have been sharing their favourite products, creating wonderful content, and helping us connect with even more amazing readers like YOU! It’s been so fun seeing our products through their eyes, and we’re beyond grateful for their creativity and support.

Hitting the Road – Markets, Comic Con, and More!

This year, we took our love of books on the road, making our debut at markets and even Comic Con! It’s been a dream come true to meet fellow book lovers face-to-face, chat about our favourite characters, and share our quirky designs. The energy at these events has been incredible, and we can’t wait for the many more to come!

Wholesale Orders – We’re Expanding!

As the demand for our products grew, we took the exciting step of starting wholesale orders. We’ve been working with book clubs and retailers, and we’re so happy to report that book clubs are loving our products! It’s been amazing to see our designs in the hands of readers everywhere and to be part of the bookish community in this way.

Commissions – Your Dreams, Our Art!

Speaking of books and art, we’ve also ventured into commissions for custom artwork! Whether you want your favourite character brought to life in a print, or a personalised design for your book club, we’ve been thrilled to take on these special projects. There's something so magical about creating art that speaks to fellow book lovers and makes their stories even more personal.

Fangirling and the Books We’ve Read

Of course, we couldn’t go without mentioning the copious amounts of books we’ve read (probably too many to count) and the endless tea consumed during late-night reading sessions. From swoon-worthy fantasy novels to tear-jerking romances, we’ve been fangirling over fiction, dreaming up new designs, and filling up our TBR lists faster than we can read. If you follow us on social media, you know how much we love to gush about our current reads!

What’s Next for The Next Chapter?

Looking ahead, we’re excited to keep growing, keep designing, and most importantly, keep connecting with all of you! We’re planning to expand our product range, continue our wholesale collaborations, and maybe even add a few more exclusive items that will make your bookish heart swoon. Stay tuned—we have big plans in the works, and we’re thrilled to have you with us on this journey.

Thank You for a Magical First Year!

As we reflect on the past year, we just want to take a moment to thank YOU—our amazing customers, book lovers, and supporters. Without you, none of this would be possible. We’re so grateful for the love, the laughs, and the shared excitement over all things literary.

Here’s to many more chapters together!

With tea, books, and endless gratitude,
The Next Chapter Team (It's me, Caz, I am the team)
