What if we built our literary circle together?
Beyond Novels was born from a desire to share. Today, I would like to give it another dimension: to make it a gathering place for those brought closer by books and culture.
The dream of a literary circle
For a long time, I have dreamed of a space where people who love literature could come together, exchange ideas, share perspectives, and discover new books. A circle where reading would be the starting point for mutually enriching conversations.
When I launched Beyond Novels, a dozen people answered my invitation. Gradually, through trust and word of mouth, our circle grew. But numbers are not what matters to me: it is the quality of our exchanges, the curiosity that unites us, and the joy of sharing.
I do not envision this space as a place where a writer merely addresses readers who passively read. I want each member to bring something unique: a reflection, a reading experience, a question, a discovery, sometimes even a disagreement.
A circle to bring to life together
I hope members will gradually get to know each other, build connections, and converse. We could imagine a discussion forum, group readings, or book discussions. Nothing is set in stone: this adventure will take shape with its members, according to everyone's desires and ideas.
In the meantime, my letters open the doors of my workshop: behind the scenes of my novels, literary reflections, and encounters from Face au texte. You can respond directly to my emails.
What if you joined us?
If you share this desire to read, discover, and exchange, I would be delighted to welcome you. And if you know other book and culture lovers, tell them about our circle: it will grow through its members.
