What Maven does
One number. Four things.
01
Answers from the real shelves
Someone texts asking for a poetry starter or a specific poet. Maven answers from Open Books' actual catalog with real titles and collections.
02
Learns what readers love
Every conversation teaches Maven whether someone reads accessible, experimental, classical, or contemporary poetry so future picks land.
03
Fills readings and signings
When a reading needs RSVPs, Maven finds the poetry readers who'd actually come.
04
Run Open Books by text
Text Maven to push a reading, flag a signed collection, or see who's been asking about a poet.
The team side
Your team sees the week at a glance.
People just text. Your team gets a clean Home page with the key numbers, recent activity, and the few controls worth touching.
Use it anywhere
Put Open Books where poetry readers look.
The shop, website, and event flyers can all point to the same number.
