How a manuscript moves from a desk to a bookstore
Book Club in Chicago
Monthly reads, author talks and genre groups.
The Chicago chapter is forming
Nobody has joined yet, so you could be first. The first meet-up is set once 10 founding members and a host sign up.
No host yet. Hosts plan the meet-ups and greet new members.
Read more and talk about it. Each chapter picks a book every month and can split into smaller groups for fiction, non-fiction, crime, science fiction, poetry, books in translation and more.
What Chicago members do
- Monthly book of the month meet-ups
- Genre groups
- Author talks and readings
- Book swaps
- Silent reading evenings
Your first meet-up
- Someone meets you. A welcome buddy greets first-timers and makes introductions.
- Pick your level. Groups are split by experience so you're never out of your depth.
- What to bring. Curiosity. Bring a notebook or laptop if the session is a workshop.
- Safe and friendly. Every meet-up has a named host and follows our code of conduct.
