Owner
Hey! I’m Tallitha Reese: bookworm, geek, small shop owner and professional writer from Wisconsin. I’m also a wife, mom, semi-hermit, and lover of caffeine and mashed potatoes.
Words: whether I was reading them and consuming stories or writing them and creating my own, have always been such an important, enriching part of my life and I knew that it just had to somehow be part of what I did for a living someday!
Writer & Content Manager
Telling stories by crafting words into the perfect content has long been a passion of mine and I love being able to share the stories of the lovely businesses and people I meet and work with!
I have a professional background in journalism and communication, having worked in newspaper, corporate communications and marketing in the past. I studied English, Journalism and History in college and I have a BA in Literature With a Writing Emphasis.
Crafter, Hoarder & Upcycler
I’m one of those people that saves a really nice cardboard box, that random scrap of string, a unique glass jar, or a damaged item, because I might be able to use it someday…and I’ve found a way to put a lot of my salvaged and upcycled treasures to good use through Repurposed Words By Reese - the bookish shop that exists under the umbrella of my Words By Reese brand.
The craft shop portion of my business gives me the opportunity to give new life to old, damaged and unloved books that have seen better days, and transform them into something new that will continue to be loved in a different form.
