For authors

Bring your book to readers who talk about books

The Virelle Literary Society reads slowly, discusses openly and tells authors the truth. Here is how to join us.

How it works

Four steps from application to feedback

1

Apply to be featured

Tell us about your book, your readers and the months you would like to be in the Society's rotation.

2

Submit a payment request

Choose your programme and duration, review the estimate, and our Finance team sends approved payment instructions.

3

Meet the readers

Your book enters the reading calendar with weekly chapter threads, discussion prompts and a live author conversation.

4

See your feedback

Your author dashboard collects star ratings, reviews and reader comments on your titles as they arrive.

What you receive

A season of attention, not an advert

  • A dedicated author profile in the Society directory
  • Featured Book of the Month placement when scheduled
  • Weekly chapter discussions moderated by our literary team
  • A live author event with recording and resources
  • Reader ratings, written reviews and threaded feedback
  • An Author Voices testimonial published on the site

Ready when you are

Review the current author participation rate and duration options, then submit a payment request. Nothing is charged automatically — our Finance team reviews every request before instructions are issued.

In their words

Hear from authors who read with us
