About Conversations with Creators
Our sessions aren't stuffy lectures or formal book readings. We host these in relaxed, cozy cafes like Oxford Bookstore or Starbucks, where you can grab a chai, ask authors the questions you’ve been dying to ask, and actually hang out with a tribe that loves the same books you do.
What to Expect at Our Author Meets
When we say 'Conversations with Creators,' we mean it. We don't just sit in silence and listen to a speech. Our gatherings are designed to be interactive, raw, and full of energy. Whether it's an evening soiree for a new release or a weekend afternoon discussion about a classic thriller, the focus is on connection.
Why Our Sessions Feel Different
- Intimate Settings: We pick venues like L'Opéra or Oxford Bookstore because they feel like home. It’s not about a stage; it’s about sitting in a circle, sharing coffee, and feeling comfortable enough to speak your mind.
- Real Talk: We invite authors to engage in judgment-free conversations. You’ll hear about the struggles behind writing, the inspiration for complex characters, and the personal stories they don't usually share in media interviews.
- The Avid Readers Touch: Because we are a community, every meet-up includes a little something extra—sometimes it’s a member-led poetry recitation, a dramatic skit bringing a chapter to life, or just a spirited debate that keeps going long after the coffee is finished.
Join the Sisterhood
Whether you’ve read every book by the featured author or you’re just looking for a new perspective, you are welcome here. This is apni (our own) tribe, and we’d love to have you join the conversation. Come for the book, stay for the chai, and leave with a signed copy and new friends.
Avid Readers Club
I’m Romita, the founder of Avid Readers Club. I started this because I wanted a space where we could swap endless scrolling for meaningful stories. We aren't a silent library group; we’re a sisterhood that happens to read, laugh, and sometimes perform a bit of drama over chai.
