Belletrist Membership
we are excited to announce, it's finally happening!
Get the BELLETRIST book selection straight to your mailbox every month in partnership with Tertulia, the co-op bookstore for avid readers.
“We started Belletrist in 2017 with a collection of Joan's writings called South & West and we are now launching a new endeavor — to bring the book of the month to subscribers through our partnership with Tertulia — with another book related to Joan: Didion & Babitz, written by our friend Lili Anolik,” Roberts says.
“Joan is in the DNA of Belletrist and I would argue that Belletrist probably wouldn't exist if not for me and Karah's shared connection over her writing.”
Other benefits of the paid membership include early access to Belltrist’s selected titles, exclusive book discussions with Roberts, Preiss and authors and a complementary Tertulia membership. The first 200 members to sign up for the Belletrist membership will receive an early copy of the club’s November selection. Premium subscribers will also receive a special gift — a limited-edition Belletrist hat designed by Preiss and Roberts.
“Joan Didion was the first writer I truly loved as an adult person, she was the first writer I read who I felt was mine ... of course, I quickly learned that so many people feel this way about Joan Didion, but when I first read her — and I still feel this way — I felt like she was writing to me.”
