About Tertulia
A Mission to Help Readers Find Books and Authors Find Readers
Our Story
Every great book starts a conversation, and every conversation deserves a home. That's the idea behind Tertulia's name, borrowed from the informal salons of Spanish cafés and bars, and it's the idea we've spent years building around.
First, we built Tertulia for Readers (tertulia.com), a discovery platform and co-op bookstore, where every customer is invited to be a co-owner. Then, we built Tertulia for Authors (authors.tertulia.com), the all-in-one platform for author websites and storefronts, newsletters, and marketing tools to grow their audience and boost book discovery.
Community has been at the heart of both from the start — a community of readers with a passion for books, and a community of authors building their audiences and their writing careers.
Tertulia for Authors
“An impressive website builder for authors… simple and cost-effective.”
Tertulia for Authors (authors.tertulia.com) is an all-in-one, user-friendly platform built specifically for authors to market their books. An author enters one book's ISBN, and Tertulia automatically builds a professional author website — importing all their books, covers, descriptions, reviews, and retailer links — with a built-in blog, email newsletter tools, an events calendar, and the ability to sell books and merchandise directly. Tertulia for Authors has been recommended by publishing experts like Jane Friedman and Dale Roberts, and has a strategic partnership with the author platform IngramSpark.

Tertulia for Readers
“A novel approach to online book discovery.”
Tertulia for Readers (tertulia.com) serves up book recommendations and book talk from across social media, podcasts, and the web — all in one app that incorporates seamless book purchasing. If a book has moved someone enough to get them talking, you can find it, buy it, and share it on Tertulia. We believe a bookstore co-owned by passionate readers will better serve them and the broader books ecosystem, so we invite all of our customers to become co-owners by joining the Tertulia Co-op.
