Book Post is a newsletter-based book review founded by book-reviewing veteran Ann Kjellberg in 2017. Kjellberg had worked for thirty years at The New York Review of Books and founded the literary magazine Little Star.[1][2] Book Post uses writing about books by distinguished writers as the basis for informed, accessible, wide-ranging advocacy for ideas and emerged in an era marked by a decline in daily books coverage for a general audience. In the “Notebook” sections of Book Post, Kjellberg speaks on behalf of independent bookselling, local journalism, robust revenue models for writing, and responsibility in digital platforms. Book Post pieces have been picked up by Y-Hacker and Observer. [3][4] Book Post was a beta project of the Substack newsletter platform. [5]
Book Post partners with independent booksellers to advocate for their work. Book Post partners have included Tertulia, The Seminary Co-op, The Astoria Bookshop, and Gibson’s Bookstore, among others.[6][7][8]
Book Post has featured work by Jamaica Kincaid, Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, Lucy Ellmann, Ian Frazier, Joy Williams, Calvin Baker, Reginald Dwayne Betts, Padgett Powell, Edward Mendelson, Mona Simpson, John Guare, Charles Simic, Álvaro Enrigue, David Leavitt, Durs Grünbein, John Banville, Wendell Berry, Marina Warner, and Zoe Heller, among others.
