WHAT MAVEN DOES

One number.Four things.

01

Answers from the real shelves

Someone texts asking for a Black fiction or nonfiction recommendation. Maven answers from Kindred's actual catalog with real titles.

02

Learns what readers love

Every conversation teaches Maven whether someone reads literary fiction, memoir, poetry, or kids' books so future picks land.

03

Fills author events and signings

When an event needs RSVPs, Maven finds the readers who'd actually come based on what they read.

04

Run Kindred by text

Text Maven to push an event, flag a signed copy, or see who's been asking about a specific author.

Use it anywhere

Put Kindred where readers look.

The shop, website, and event flyers can all point to the same number.
