1
Sign in to Readfeed
Open Readfeed and sign in with your account. If you do not have one yet, choose Get Started in the top-right corner and create a free account — it only takes a moment.

💡
You must be signed in to create a club, because you automatically become its organizer.
2
Click “Start a book club”
In the top navigation bar, select the Start a book club button. A creation form opens as a pop-up so you never lose your place on the page.
3
Name and describe your club
Give your club a clear, inviting name and a short description of what you read and who it is for. This is what prospective members see when they discover your club.

💡
Specific names like “Sci-Fi After Dark” attract the right readers faster than generic ones.
4
Choose your first book
Search for the book you want to read first and select it from the results. Readfeed pulls in the cover, author, and description automatically so your club page looks great instantly.
5
Set your reading schedule
Pick a start date and the pace you want to keep — by chapter, by section, or a target finish date. Readfeed uses this to keep everyone on the same page and to surface timely discussion prompts.
6
Invite your members
Create the club, then use Invite Friends to share your unique join link by email, text, or social media. Anyone who opens the link can join your club with one tap.

💡
Clubs with 4–8 active members tend to have the liveliest discussions.
