BELLETRIST was founded in 2017 by best friends Emma Roberts & Karah Preiss.
Among the thousands of text messages and phone calls they exchanged, they often returned to the age-old question: what are you reading?
Since 2017, Belletrist has chosen over 75 books for the book club and dozens more for myriad content features across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and our newsletter The Belletrist Brief. In 2019, Emma and Karah spun out Belletrist Book Club into a production company called Belletrist Productions. To date, Belletrist Productions has produced two popular television series: FIRST KILL (Netflix) & TELL ME LIES (Hulu). Belletrist Productions is in a first-look deal at MAX and has many other film and tv projects in development.
