About us

What is Aphra Book Club?

Aphra Book Club is the award-winning book club empowering women, powered by women. We platform marginalised voices by curating unique and inspiring reading experiences through our bookshop showcasing woman and NB authors, as well as through our events, podcast, and book-loving community.

I’m a brand/blogger/publisher looking to get involved with Aphra Book Club. How can I talk to you?

Please email us at [email protected] we’d love to hear from you!

Where can I follow you and get involved in the conversation?

You can find us on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. You can also subscribe to our newsletter to get all the latest updates.

We also have a podcast, The Chapters, which you can find where you listen to podcasts!

Weren't you Books That Matter?

Yes! For six years we existed as BTM, and offered a monthly book subscription box. Lots of things have changed since we launched in 2018, and in summer 2023 we had a glow up.

We rebranded to Aphra and shifted our business to focus on our bookshop (come visit us in Bristol!) and more opportunities for book lovers to connect (helloooo author events!).

We are stopping our book subscriptions in autumn 2023. Read more about this change here.

But what about the men?

Bestsellers, no fellas is one of our taglines, and we stand by it. Male authors (especially white, cis men) have dominated the publishing industry for too long, and we’re here to disrupt it. We platform woman and NB authors and create spaces for woman and NB readers to connect.

In short, we exist bc equality doesn’t.

  • If you’re on a prepaid subscription (i.e. our 3, 6, and 12 month subscriptions) you can request a refund or store credit for your outstanding balance. Store credit can be used in our Bristol bookshop, or in our upcoming online bookshop.
  • If you have a gift subscription that hasn’t been redeemed you can request a refund or store credit for the full balance.
