ABOUT US

What started as a small blog in 2013 grew into something far beyond what we ever imagined. Originally launched as Southern Belle Book Blog, we created the platform to share our love of reading and connect with fellow book lovers. As our community grew, so did our vision, eventually leading us to transition our focus fully to events and rebrand as Southern Belle Book Events.

​

In 2014, it began with one small pop-up event, Holidays with the Belles. One turned into two, two into four, and now more than a decade later, we’ve proudly hosted over 30 events under the Southern Belle Book Events name.

​

What began as a challenge quickly became our true passion, and both authors and readers took notice. We’re known for our professionalism, attention to detail, and welcoming atmosphere, and we’ve worked hard to stand out in an ever-growing industry. What may have felt like a learning process behind the scenes translated into seamless, memorable experiences for every attendee.

​

So what sets Southern Belle apart? Our commitment to rotating locations across the United States, thoughtfully designed single-day events that allow guests to enjoy the host city, and intentionally low attendee-to-author ratios. Every detail is crafted to create an environment that feels warm, stress-free, and worth returning to year after year.

​

Today, Southern Belle Book Events is recognized as a leader in the book signing community. Our philosophy is simple: when you truly love what you do, it shows. By treating authors, vendors, readers, and volunteers like family, we don’t just host events, we create experiences people can’t wait to relive.

MEET THE GIRLS

Meet Erin:


Erin is a mom to three little humans, two pups, and one fluffy Maine Coon kitty, and the wife of one very patient husband. Life in her house is always a little chaotic and never boring. When she’s not working in HR or planning Belles events, you’ll find her relaxing at home in her pajamas or cheering on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Meet Katie:
 
Katie is a mom to three teenage girls and, as she jokes, a wife from Mars. When she’s not completely immersed in a book, she’s busy keeping up with her daughters’ many activities, traveling whenever she gets the chance, or using her experience and passion within the book world.
 

Meet Shannon:


Shannon is married to a very patient husband and is the proud mom of an amazing daughter. She also has one pup and a large extended family she adores. The other Belles joke that she never stops working, and they’re not wrong. But when she does take a break, she enjoys capturing beautiful photography and traveling.
