About Us

The Storyteller’s Book Store is designed to be a place for people of all well-intentioned points of view to gather. Open since July 2008, we plan to present storytelling performances, readings by authors local and afar and workshops for writers and storytellers. We offer a diverse inventory that includes books for all readers.


Drew Bridges, owner of the store and a semi-retired psychiatrist, opened the store in the heart of Wake Forest to return to his English major roots. The Storyteller’s Book Store is designed with open areas for activities and is furnished with a grand piano and a red leather antique barber chair, the “storyteller’s chair.” Paintings and photography from local artists adorn the walls and are for sale as well.

We are most excited about being a part of historic downtown Wake Forest and intend joint ventures with our business neighbors such as the Wake Forest Coffee Company and Alphabet Soup, a store of educational materials and books for children beyond our offerings. 

 If you can't stop in the store, we can always special order items. Please call 919-554-9146 to special  order the book you are looking for.
