Meet the Business Owner
Gwenyfar R.
Business Owner
Gwenyfar is privileged to manage her family’s iconic independent bookstore, Old Books on Front St., in Wilmington, NC. Since 2009 she has enjoyed writing the «Live Local» Column for Encore Magazine, the Cape Fear’s Alternative Newspaper. She is also one of the area’s theatre reviewers for the same publication, a job she dreamed of since she was a child. In 2012 Gwenyfar began recording Classic Literature Commentaries for WHQR Public Radio. «They were inspired by Rexroth’s Classics Revisited but have become something quite different,» she says. In 2013 she began a monthly column for Salt Magazine profiling playwrights. «I made a decision in January of 2013 to focus on more theatre writing, so the column in Salt provides an opportunity to look at the stage through the eyes of a writer rather than a reviewer or audience member.» On Saturdays she enjoys leading the Literary History Walking Tours from Old Books on Front St.
