Two days ago I made a post on #Threads and today I have a book club in the works!
A fly away thought received a few excited comments and likes and so off I went to create something I could deliver and now here we are.
While I never delved into why I wanted to start and in person book club some of the main points about Prose & Cons that I would like to make clear are as follows:
Prose & Cons will be London based, likely South London/Central for ease of access.
Prose & Cons aims to highlight books that are less well-known on social media.
Prose & Cons will prioritise books from diverse/marginalised authors and groups.
Prose & Cons is about community so the decision for it to be in person is to create connections around an interest that is usually quite solitary.
As mentioned in my Threads post, my goal for Prose & Cons is for it to be fully catered for all attendees. While this can be on a small scale at first for it to remain free for guests, as it evolves, the possibility of memberships and paid tickets will likely come up. These funds would go towards more luxury events, gift bags, merch etc.
I hope you'll join me on this new adventure and see how we grow!
If you would like to attend our first meet up at the end of September, then make sure to RSVP on the event page below:
I'll be posting a poll to vote for the book we'll be reading during August, so keep an eye out.
