LITUP IS YOUR BOOK JOY IN ACTION.

LitUp by Reese’s Book Club is the signature initiative of , our pay-it-forward platform on a mission to advance literacy, elevate underrepresented voices, and make book joy available to all. By joining Reese’s Book Club and shopping The Picks from our partners on the book pages of this app, you’ll help five first-time women authors get their manuscripts published.
⁠⁠
With the support of our friends at We Need Diverse Books and Madcap Retreats, in partnership with Google, Buick and Emerson Collective, we’re flipping the manuscript by putting our book-loving muscle behind five highly qualified women writers. ⁠⁠


PAGING DYNAMIC, UNDERREPRESENTED, SUPER TALENTED WOMEN AUTHORS.

LitUp is currently accepting applicants for its first fellowship cycle. The fellowship provides five emerging writers with an all-expenses-paid retreat, a three-month mentorship with a published author, and marketing support from Reese’s Book Club. LitUp is a journey and we’re with you every step of the way.

The LitUp Roadmap:


ARE YOU READY TO BREAK IN AND BREAK THROUGH?

Perfect! Our first LitUp by Reese’s Book Club fellowship is seeking diverse women writers who meet our eligibility requirements and are ready to hone their craft and turn their manuscripts into published works.

"I hope you will also find that there is reassurance, maybe even a promise, whether you’re coming of age or not: that your anger is righteous and just. That the endurance with which you face the world is admirable. That your vulnerability, your longing to be wanted just as you are, is worthy." — @afarolfollmuth

To girls and women everywhere, we see you. 💙
Welcome to the club, Once Upon a Time in Dollywood. 💙

"You are important and you are powerful. Just as you are, in yourself, standing alone. Don’t let anyone, and especially no man, treat you as anything less."

We're still hung up on this iconic line from Stuck Up and Stupid. A fantastic reminder that you are worthy and certainly not stupid. 🩷
