This month's double feature: Frances Ha and Moulin Rouge!

What actually happens when a self-published author makes the leap to traditional publishing? Join Cait and Court for a behind-the-scenes conversation with Heir of Illusion author Madeline Taylor about her path from creative writing student to self-published author to traditionally published romantasy writer.
Bring whatever you’re currently reading (or thinking about reading) and come ready to share a passage, idea, or question that’s stuck with you. We’ll swap recommendations and talk about what’s actually on our minds lately. No prep, no pressure, and a great way to meet new (and familiar) faces.
Join Lit Society for Strange & Beautiful, a Writing Salon hosted by author, editor, and writing instructor K Hank Jost on literary “difficulty,” distinctive style, and the challenge of translating complex thought onto the page. Through excerpts from Shakespeare, Joyce, Melville, Lutz, Woolf, and Schutt, we’ll examine sentences that are dense, strange, beautiful, or resistant and what they reveal about voice and consciousness. Guided exercises in sound, free association, rhythm, syntax, and style will turn close reading into creative practice.
Currently hosting in NYC, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, with additional cities to come.
Readers, writers, and curious minds gathering online and at salons across the U.S.
Virtual and in-person Salons, Mini Lectures, and more from 40+ guest voices

Because we make intellect feel like an indulgence. Our community is made up of readers, thinkers, art-lovers, pop-culture sleuths, and aesthetically-inclined humans who want their smart stuff to come with serotonin. We’ve hosted conversations with bestselling authors, deep-dived into everything from Kendrick to Kafka, and built a space where literary insight, big emotions, and cultural decoding all feel... surprisingly fun. We’re keeping our finger on the cultural pulse—and handing you the mic, too.
Yes! Our blog and podcast will remain free and accessible to all at this time. Membership gives you additional access to curated conversations, event recordings, special content drops, and the ability to connect with other members behind the scenes.
Absolutely! Lit Society by Bond & Grace is about curiosity, books are just one way to feed it. It’s for the curious girlie who’s always almost ready to raise her hand, drop a reference, or say “did anyone else notice…”—this is your club.
Whether you’re a deep diver, a highlight skimmer, or somewhere in between, Lit Society is for women who love sounding smart, feeling seen, and having more to say in the group chat. You don’t need to have read every book—you just need to be curious enough to want in.

We’re confident that if you join—even for a little bit—you’ll walk away with not just new insights, but a whole new lens on books, culture, and conversation. You might even start seeing the world in literary metaphors (happens more than you’d think).
