UPCOMING AUTHORS & BOOKS

LUNCHEON PACKAGES 

Our members spoke, and we listened. Exciting changes are coming soon!

Members have requested a more streamlined process and one-stop shopping for their luncheon registration experience, and our new Luncheon Package offers both! For the 2024/2025 season, you can purchase an optional Luncheon Package, which secures your registrations and meals for the entire season with one easy transaction. If you prefer to sign up for individual luncheons keep an eye on your inbox for an email on October 16th with more details on how to do so.

Your Luncheon Package:

  • Ensures your place at each event without the need for individual registrations
  • Reduces the number of emails landing in your inbox
  • Eliminates the need to monitor and respond to registration emails
  • Secures and guarantees your seat at each luncheon before opening seats to guests
  • Simplifies your experience
  • Locks in the price of lunch should venue costs increase during the season
  • We know life happens and should you find yourself unable to attend your membership day for one of the luncheons, please email info@literarysoc.com and we're happy to put you on the luncheon wait list for another day. Historically, we have been able to accommodate all luncheon wait list requests.  
Member registration fee is $55 per luncheon, $275 for the Luncheon Package (all five luncheons).

BOOK PURCHASES
Consistent with our community support for literacy, we encourage our members to shop locally. 

In Scottsdale, Anticus, a supporting bookstore, is offering a 20% discount to Literary Society members for all this season’s titles. When checking out, you will need to mention your affiliation with the Literary Society. You may also call (480) 483-5663 to place your order for pick-up or delivery (postage covered by purchaser).
