Meet our founders
Chapter Chat was founded by two book-loving sisters, Annie and Olivia back in the summer of 2016.
Annie Wilmot
Annie works at a leading entertainment PR agency and also runs a travel & lifestyle blog under the pseudonym Little Miss Notting Hill. In her spare time, you can find her wandering the streets of London with her little sausage dog Dudley!
Her favourite book is:
Any Human Heart by William Boyd
Olivia Thompson
Olivia or Liv (as more commonly known to her friends) heads up Marketing for an digital editorial start up. She spends her spare time reading, cooking and going for long walks (& an occasional kayak) with her husband, two young children and Labradoodle Marcus.
Her favourite book is:
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Our mission
Chapter Chat is diverse book club of like-minded individuals who regularly meet to discuss books and beyond.
Hosting discussions retreats, in-person at London venues and via Zoom, we have now bought together over 250 members from across the world and nurtured a very
close & engaged community of over 7,000 book lovers on Instagram.
We love collaborating with brands, authors, publishing houses, TV production and more. In the past we have worked with French Connection, Penguin Random House, SheerLuxe, Orion Books and also appeared in person on the Sky Arts Book
Club TV Series hosted by Elizabeth Day and Andi Oliver.
Our mission is to inspire meaningful connections through a shared love of reading and discussion. We believe in carving out time for busy but curious minds to immerse themselves in reading experiences that will fuel a love of literature.
Our Discussions
For the foreseeable, our meetings will run on Zoom. We typically do these each month and announce the book around 3-4 weeks in advance to ensure that everyone has the time to read, even with busy lives and schedules. We welcome all book lovers from those who read often to those who read occasionally, as well as those who want to read more. Our monthly book choices range from non-fiction to fiction, more established authors to more emerging and cover a variety of different themes.
