WE READ YOU

Bronzeville Books is proud to introduce the Bronzeville Book Club—our platform for championing intersectional stories and transforming how they are shared. We believe in amplifying underrepresented voices through our rallying cry: SAY LESS, READ MORE. Whether your goal is to explore new authors, nurture a community of fellow readers, or directly fund equitable publishing, we have a membership for you: Active, Supporting, or Founding.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

All members receive The Bronzeville Box each quarter filled with a Featured Bronzeville title, a Showcase title from our alliance publishers, merchandise apparel and products from supporting vendors.

Enjoy unboxing events at our seasonal book salons and monthly book club meeting held in person and remotely across all our affiliate booksellers and librarians, featuring the authors, their titles, and the actors, comedians, artists, and professionals of the Bronzeverse.
