We are a book subscription service and online bookshop championing women’s voices, one story at a time. The bookish algorithm is relentless, serving up endless must-reads and the same old books recommended again and again. At Well Read Women, we have one mission: to deliver books that truly earn a place on your shelf. Every month we handpick six brilliant stories to help you shake up your reading, try new genres, and discover fresh voices.

How does it work?

On the 1st of every month, we reveal six amazing picks, three hardbacks and three paperbacks we think you’ll love. Have a nosy and see which one calls your name. By the 7th, you’ll lock in your choice, get billed on the 8th, and we’ll get busy sending your book straight to you. When it lands on your doorstep, all that’s left is to clear your calendar and dive into your next favourite read.

When you sign up to our subscription, you will be charged immediately and then you will be moved to our above schedule.

Subscribers also get benefits such as 10% off our entire bookshop, an exclusive newsletter, access.

Our Online Bookstore

We also have our wonderful online bookstore, with stories curated by a female-led, independent team who care about putting the right books into your hands. Can’t find a specific book you’d like to order? Drop us an e-mail and we can try to get it for you.

Extras and exciting things to come …

We love sharing more than just the books: Alongside our subscriptions and store, you’ll find author chats, features, and plenty more ways to get closer to the stories you love.

And we have SO much more up our sleeve with a big plot twist dropping soon. Want to be the first to hear the next chapter? Sign up to our mailing list below to get the scoop before anyone else.
