S&S, McBride Sisters to Launch Black Girl Magic Wine & Book Club

Simon & Schuster is partnering with McBride Sisters Collection, an African American-owned wine company, to launch the Black Girl Magic Wine & Book Club.

The new book club will offer members a selection of wine—two bottles of Black Girl Magic Riesling and Merlot—plus a new S&S title. In this case, the inaugural book selection will be The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Dawnie Walton, the fictional history of the unlikely rock singing duo of Black singer Opal and British songwriter Nev in the 1970s.

The first 50 members of the book club will get the book ahead of its publication date and all the members are invited to join an online chat with the author of the book and Robin McBride and Andrea McBride John, the founders of the McBride Sisters Collection. The cost of joining the club will be $89.

Robin McBride said, “We’re always looking for new ways to elevate the wine experience for our customers.”

S&S v-p of multicultural marketing Sienna Farris said, “We are excited to partner with McBride Sisters to employ new ways to find readers for our books. The Black Girl Magic Wine & Book Club is a fantastic opportunity to support Black-owned businesses and Black voices simultaneously.”
