Beyond the Book Experiences
Eat Pray Love Event
LITERARY TOURS - Julie leads intimate treks to locales like Morocco, Prague and India to soak up the settings of great books. Julie leads discussions at historical landmarks and the places that inspired the authors. She gives literati quintessential cultural experiences similar to the characters they read about. BEYOND THE BOOK - Julie takes her readers off-the-beaten-path to bring books to life. Clients toured the top-security restoration labs of the Getty Museum in Bel-Air to discuss Jonathan Harr's The Lost Painting and had a guest grief-psychologist co-leading a discussion of Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking. An outing through Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, in conjunction with discussing Loving Frank by Nancy Horan and private docent tours of a Civil Rights photographic exhibit, at the Skirball, to experience the lives portrayed in The Help by Kathryn Stockett, are just two more examples of Beyond the Book Experiences.  Prague Literary Tour MOVIE SCREENINGS - When a studio has a book-adaptation movie to promote, one of the first people they contact is Julie. She hosts the director as well as the book author at special preview screenings for her readers. And as always, great food and discussions ensue. CLASSIC LECTURE SERIES - Bringing her love of classics to a broader audience, Julie's Luncheon Lecture Series have become one of the hottest tickets in town. Julie brings in popular university professors to the Beverly Hills Country Club to talk to about 60 avid readers, who dine and discuss great literature together. English class was never this much fun. Series include The Jane Austen Book Club, War and Peace, Southern Writers, and most recently The American Experience.  |
