About Us

About Us

In business for two decades, Literary Affairs’ mission is to promote great literature and foster a community of book lovers in Southern California. The brainchild of lifelong bibliophile and entrepreneur Julie Robinson, Literary Affairs is unique in its commitment to offering a full range of services tailored to the literary lifestyle, including book clubs, conversations with acclaimed authors in intimate locales, literary travel adventures, and an annual fall book festival. As facilitators of over 50 book clubs per month all over Los Angeles, we know that we are not alone in feeling that reading books enriches our lives, makes us more human and helps us better understand and have compassion for the world we live in.
