Sister company
Book Club Concierge
Literary events that bring people together. Elissa co-founded Book Club Concierge to put a scout’s eye to work offline: author events and book-inspired evenings at hotels and restaurants, partnerships with authors and content creators, and local independent bookstores at the heart of it all.
Hotels, resorts & restaurants
A literary series guests plan their stay around
A slow November. A new wellness program. A property with a story nobody’s telling yet. You bring the place, the season and the guest; we create a named series that becomes part of your hotel’s identity.
We handle the concept, the book, the author, a menu built around the book, the itinerary, and the package your team sells. Then we keep it going, so it builds a following year over year. The series carries your name.
- Author weekends and fireside conversations
- Dinners with a menu inspired by the book
- The book sent to guests before they arrive
- A hotel book club between events
- In-room and lobby curation, refreshed each season
- Bookable packages your team can sell
Not ready for a full series? Many partners start with a simple book of the month for guests and grow from there.
Page to screen
Read it first. Then watch it.
Book-to-screen is Elissa’s specialty. She spends her days finding the books headed for film and television, so guests can read the book and watch the story in one stay.
Read it, then watch it
A weekend that pairs the book with a screening of its film or series, and a conversation about what changed from page to screen.
Read it before it premieres
Books on their way to the screen, picked before the adaptation lands, so guests are ahead of the conversation.
Premiere-season programming
An author weekend or book club timed to a big adaptation’s release, when interest in the story is at its peak.
Partnerships
Authors and content creators
Authors
Put the right author in the room
Thanks to years of scouting, Elissa has relationships with publishers, agents and authors, so we can reach the right author directly, not just through a speakers bureau.
A scout’s job is to find books before everyone else, which means we bring you authors on the way up: conversations, readings and dinners built around their book.
Content creators
Turn followers into a book club
For creators, a book club is a more meaningful way to engage an audience, turning passive followers into active participants, online and at live events.
We pick the books and plan the events behind the scenes. You bring the community and take the credit.
Local bookstores
Every event supports a local indie
Elissa is a former indie bookseller, and it shows. We partner with a local independent bookstore near each event, arranging the copies for guests and attendees through them, so the books come from the community the event is in.
For hotels, that means a neighborhood partner for the series. For authors and creators, it means a bookseller who knows the book and keeps it on their shelves after the event is over.
