Brighton-based Booktokers Mireille and Elodie Lee, the sisters behind "A Life of Literature," are taking their passion for reading to new heights with the launch of a membership community on Bindery, the innovative platform for book tastemakers and influencers.
Coming to prominence on TikTok during lockdown, Mireille and Elodie have amassed nearly 300,000 followers with their engaging bookish content. Their focus on dystopian, feminist, romantic and YA literature and their mission to inspire a love of reading among other young people has made them influential figures in the publishing world.
"We found solace in books during lockdown, and it's incredible to see how our community has grown since then," said Elodie who just turned 16. "Bindery allows us to deepen our connection with our followers, exploring the books we can’t stop thinking about and creating a space for more in-depth conversations about all the things we love, from Netflix to poetry, gaming to Jane Austen."
The sisters' partnership with San Francisco based start-up Bindery aims to bring their followers into a more intimate space. Bindery offers bookish membership communities with exclusive content, a dedicated space away from the regular social feeds, opportunities to chat on Discord, personalised give-aways, and even an opportunity to publish books. In November 2023 Bindery announced their first book acquisitions.
Mireille, who is nearly 18 and is studying English Literature, expressed her excitement about the platform. "Aside from our love of literature, the exclusive content and community spaces on Bindery available to our subscribers will allow us to share more of our real lives. We know what young people like us want to read, and think we can give the big publishers a run for their money. The opportunity to have A Life of Literature imprint with the Bindery team is a dream come true." shared Mireille.
