Glenn Belverio

"A juicy read!" - In Touch magazine

"Journalist Belverio put in considerable time gathering his material, interviewing and apparently hanging out with his subject because the narrative has an immediate vividness….The result is the literary equivalent of a Bravo reality show or a dinner composed entirely of chocolate…. entertaining; irresistible..….. it could become a quirky hit, along the lines of The Original Preppy Handbook." – Publisher’s Weekly

"Confessions from the Velvet Ropes is like a surreal mash-up of Party Girl and Apocalypse Now, or maybe Please Kill Me and Night of the Living Dead. It's packed with absurdly juicy war stories from the velvet goldmine of New York clubland, down and dirty yet screamingly funny tales from the door-bitch jungle, full of crazed revelers, wasted starlets, fashion pimps, and sex behind the ice machine. Brilliant stuff."

"Sharp and insightful, you'll have all the details you need to feel like a V.I.P." - OK! Magazine

"Anyone who's secretly -- or not-so-secretly -- aspired to live the glamorous club life will find Confessions From the Velvet Ropes hard to resist. -- The Calgary Herald

"Belverio keeps the book interesting by mixing together story-telling with celebrity interviews, club history and witty side notes which include know-how tips on getting past a bouncer and who's who in the club scene." - Fashion Wire Daily

"Belverio's corrosive humor cuts to the quick of the social body. His wry, entertaining writing style puts you right at the center of any VIP event. This is gonzo journalism at its most compelling, full of celebration and sharp insight."

"Imagine a literary cocktail composed of equal parts Suzy Menkes, Truman Capote and Jacqueline Susann, then add a twist of New York street smarts and the result is Glenn Belverio. If David Sedaris wasn’t a virgin, he might write something like Belverio."
