FAQ
Reader questions
How often are new books announced and is there a waiting list
Books are announced monthly, and members can join a waiting list if a selected session is full. Spots are released on a first-come, first-served basis as capacity allows.
Do I need to have read the previous month's book to join
Prior reading of earlier selections is not required, and new members can start at any month as long as they commit to the current reading window and discussion schedule.
Can I host a local chapter using the same materials
Members can organize local or virtual chapters using provided guides, but they must coordinate timing with the main calendar and follow branding and accessibility standards.
What happens if I miss a live discussion
Missed sessions are backed by recordings, summaries, and facilitator notes, so members can engage at their own pace without losing context or community insights.
