The Beverly Hills Literary Escape

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.” – The Catcher in the Rye

The Beverly Hills Literary Escape is an exciting weekend of unique events designed for the discerning reader. An intersection of literary culture and entertainment, BHLE brings together food, wine and books. Offering insider access to the country's most sought after authors through novel experiences set amidst the luxury of Beverly Hills.

Akin to European cafe culture and the days of the Algonquin Round Table, The Beverly Hills Literary Escape presents "green room" VIP access to leading authors in intimate settings and trendy venues.

The Beverly Hills Literary Escape will inspire you to not only read a book but to be a part of the conversation! The Beverly Hills Literary Escape brings together acclaimed writers, avid readers, and book groups in the casual cafés, premier restaurants, chic boutiques and Five-Star hotels of Beverly Hills. Join us with Café Conversations and Literary Salons in Beverly Hills' historic Saban Theater, a classic Art Deco stage theater built in 1930.

The Beverly Hills Literary Escape is a community-wide book group and we invite you to join us in discussing our favorite selections of literary fiction and memoir.
*A portion of proceeds from event tickets and book sales throughout the entire weekend will benefit the Beverly Hills Public Library.

Escape to Beverly Hills for a "Red Carpet" weekend where Authors are the celebrities, Book Lovers are the VIPs and Literary culture is exciting and entertaining for everyone.

Don't just read a book, experience it...
