Frequently asked questions
If something isn't answered here, the contact form reaches a person.
Does membership cost anything?
Membership is free to join. Paid tiers are prepared in the design but are not currently in use.
Can I leave at any time?
Yes. You can close your membership from account settings, and your discussions can be removed on request.
How are the monthly books chosen?
Selections are proposed by the literary programming team and shaped by member recommendations.
Do I need to finish the book to join the discussion?
No. Discussions are structured so partial readers can take part without being spoiled.
Are events online or in person?
Both. Each event listing states its format, and virtual events note the platform once confirmed.
How is the community moderated?
Moderators review reports and apply the published community guidelines. Repeated breaches end in removal.
I'm an author — can I take part?
Yes. Use the contact form and choose 'Author Inquiry' and the author relations team will reply.
Why isn't my review visible yet?
Reviews are read by a moderator before publication, which can take a little time.
Something isn't working. Where do I report it?
Use the contact form and choose Technical Support. Include the page and what you were doing.
Do you work with bookshops and libraries?
Yes — partnership inquiries are welcome from bookshops, libraries, publishers and schools.
