About Beautiful Words

We are named for the ‘Beautiful Words’ found in stories that inspire and connect us. We strive to build communities of passionate readers who read, reflect, and connect with the stories they read and the people around them. Our book club sparked joy but we felt some of our conversations fell flat. The questions provided in the back of the books were not helping us get there. They were too detailed, too specific - we wanted more from our discussions. We wanted each conversation to build on the next. We began crafting and curating questions that would work for any book. We created questions that sparked our thinking in a way that hit on the big picture and got us 'connecting the dots' within and across the books we were discussing. We also thought..."What good are the questions if they aren't at our fingertips?" From there, the idea for the Beautiful Words bookmark was born! We are the first bookmark company to carefully craft and curate questions that faciliate meaningful reflection and conversation about books. We are a women-led for-profit social enterprise that donates 10% of all proceeds to support literacy in our local community. Happiness, to us, is talking about books - sharing ‘Beautiful Words’ among friends, and our Book Banter bookmarks help to create that special experience for others. Reading just got better!
