Welcome to the ELEVATION Silent Book Club® Chapter!!If you are an introvert wanting to dip your toe in the social pond and/or you just love to read books, then this group is for you!!
I started the ELEVATION Silent Book Club to help encourage and cultivate social connections, and because reading with friends enriches our lives, makes us happy, and helps us to elevate our lives. Elevation Silent Book Club is about community. Everyone is welcome, and anyone can join!
This is a FREE LIVE EVENT and intended to encourage social interaction, mental stimulation, and community connections. Friends and strangers gather at a set time and location, enjoy some food or drinks, share what they're reading, and settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize—or not depending on your desired level of social engagement.
Don't stress! This isn't your typical book club... There will be no assigned book to read, no deadlines to keep up with, and no heady, intellectual questions to worry about preparing witty answers for. This is totally relaxed. You get to pick your reading material (or audiobook - just bring headphones please), and enjoy it at your own pace.
Come on by for a little mingling with other elevated book lovers in the community who are also looking to become a little more social and enjoy some quality reading time!
I hope to see you there!!
Your Organizer & Host,
Melissa Z. White

GUEST SPEAKER: Elizabeth Devecchi
At this event, we will be hosting a featured speaker!! --> Come meet published author, Elizabeth Devecchi!!
Elizabeth Devecchi spent most of her formative years in the tiny state of Rhode Island, striking out after high school to gather degrees while exploring the world. This has resulted in a degree in French from Wittenberg University, polished during a year abroad in Montpelier, France; an Italian Law Degree from the Università di Torino, Italy; an L.LM in International Law bestowed by The University of Iowa; and formal Mediation training.
When she started her hobby blog, The Moon, The Sun, and Little Man (since incorporated into her author website), Elizabeth knew she wanted to get back to one of her earliest passions, writing. She officially began her career as an author in her in her early 50s with a short story titled “The Hunt,” which can still be found floating around the internet as part of the December 2021 issue of international literary journal, Ariel Chart. Elizabeth writes in a variety of genres and styles.
Recent releases include: her debut poem, “Oh, Brother,” which appears in Volume II of Black Spot Books’s annual women in horror poetry showcase titled Under Her Eye (November 2023); a recipe accompanied by a flash fiction story in Nightmare Fueled Inc’s anthology Cooks of Horror (August 2024); and horror poem “In the Belly of the Mills,” which appears in the anthology Monsters in the Mills, launching at the prestigious horror conference NecromoniCon in Providence, RI (August 2024).
Upcoming releases will include: Elizabeth's debut horror novel, A Whisper in the Dark, signed by Wicked House Publishing to be released in October of 2024; short horror story “Open House,” to appear in a Running Wild Press anthology in 2025; and debut thriller/suspense novel, A Twist of the Lens, to be published by Wicked House Publishing in mid-2025.
Elizabeth is a member of the Horror Writer’s Association, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and Italian American Writers Association. She currently resides in Colorado with her family, which includes an ever-changing menagerie of pets and “guest creatures.”

Never heard of the Silent Book Club®?
Silent Book Club® is a global community of readers and introverts, with more than 900 chapters in 50 countries around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather in public at bars, cafes, bookstores, libraries, and online to read together in quiet camaraderie.
Silent Book Club started in San Francisco in 2012 with a couple of friends—Guinevere de la Mare and Laura Gluhanich—reading in companionable silence at our neighborhood bar. They loved books, and reading with friends, but most of their previous attempts at book clubs had fizzled out.
Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the selected book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books, friends, and drinks—without any homework? At the ELEVATION Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading. No pressure of having to have prepared answers to designated questions. All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it's BYO Book.
