Check out the first issue of Belletrista, "a nonprofit, bi-monthly magazine celebrating the wonderfully varied literary work from women writers around the world.

Whether you are a seasoned reader of international literature or someone just beginning to travel beyond your literary shores, we think you will find something, from far or near, in this issue, to intrigue you.

We expect Belletrista to grow and evolve, and would love your feedback throughout the process. So, as Belletrista takes its first tentative steps, we welcome you and remind you that you were here to celebrate our launch with us, right at the beginning!

Join us, fellow book-lovers, and let us explore new worlds together! "
