A Book Club FOR
THE DISCERNING READER

So Textual is a curated book club for thoughtful readers drawn to the ideas, references, culture, ephemera, and emotional afterlives of literature. We help you uncover new depths in your reading life—and connect them meaningfully to the world around you.

So Textual is a community and digital atelier of literary references, culture, and ephemera for women who live by books.

Through monthly book club immersions and curated reference features, So Textual offers a shared methodology for engaging with fiction as something more than text — as a way of noticing, reflecting, and building a private vocabulary for the world.

OUR FOUNDER—

Jennie has been a lifelong reader, always finding that meaning can be drawn out of texts—not just by thinking through words, but by marking them up, archiving small thoughts, and exploring them in conversation with others. She founded So Textual to cultivate a community around these shared practices, one where literary fiction becomes more than just something you read but a way of experiencing, reflecting, and building personal and collective narratives. With a Master’s from Harvard Divinity School, she’s spent years thinking about ritual narratives, symbolism, affect, and the phenomena that connect us to story. Through this platform, Jennie invites others to engage with books as intimate guides, drawing us closer to the self and the world around us.
