Anna Ford and Zoë Epstein, Bookclubs co-founders

Independently owned & women-led

Built by book lovers, not algorithms.

We didn't build Bookclubs to sell you books or harvest your data. We built it because Anna started a book club and things got chaotic — then Zoë joined, and together they built the tool they always wished existed.

Bookclubs is fully independent and women-owned — accountable only to our community of readers. No corporate parent. No Amazon. Just readers, books, and the people who love to talk about them.
