Dua Lipa's Literary Journey: From Service95 to the London Literature Festival
Dua Lipa, known for her music career, ventured into the world of literature with the launch of Service95 in 2022. What started as a lifestyle newsletter has grown into a digital platform with a dedicated editorial team, a podcast hosted by Dua Lipa herself, and a successful book club. While she has also entered the beauty industry with a skincare line, her focus remains on the book club, which has garnered global attention.
As a curator at the upcoming London Literature Festival, Dua Lipa will be taking over the Southbank Centre during the opening weekend to showcase a lineup of established and emerging authors. The festival will feature a series of events in collaboration with Service95, highlighting the beauty of written and spoken words.
Since its launch in June 2023, the Service95 Book Club has featured a diverse selection of books, starting with Douglas Stuart’s award-winning novel Shuggie Bain. Dua Lipa has hosted various authors on her podcast, including Margaret Atwood, Michelle Zauner, and Patrick Radden Keefe, engaging in exclusive conversations to enhance the reading experience. Unlike other book clubs that focus on new releases, Dua Lipa’s club includes classic and cult books, offering a wide range of reading options.
