QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS
Setting up and managing your club
How do I set up my club?
Go to Bookclubs.com and click “create club”. If you don’t already have an account you will be prompted to create one with your email and password. Then to set up a club, enter the desired club name and click create. Your club has successfully been created when you receive your unique invitation link. You can share this link to invite others to your club or skip this step for now. If you want to create multiple clubs, select the “+” option in the top right corner of your “my clubs” page via the app or select “my clubs” on the top left corner of the website and click “create a club”.
Can a club have multiple admins? How do I make someone a club admin?
With a free plan, your club can have 1 admin. Upgrade to any paid plan to have as many admins as you'd like. An existing admin can add additional admins by going to the Members tab of your club, finding the name of the person you want to make into an admin, and then toggling on the "Admin" button.
I accidentally created an extra club. How can I delete it?
If you are the admin of the club, you will see the option to delete the club by scrolling all the way to the bottom of the club’s Club Settings page. If you accidentally delete a club, please contact us at help@bookclubs.com within 30 days to reinstate the club.
Can I join or organize more than one club on Bookclubs?
Yes! If you are a member or admin of multiple clubs, you can switch between them by going to "My Clubs" and selecting the club you want to see.
How can I change my club's name?
Go to your club's About Our Club page. Then, click on the little pencil icon next to your club's name to edit it. Similarly, on the app, you can edit the club’s name by navigating to the About tab and then clicking the little pencil icon next to your club name.
How do I add or edit a club’s description?
Log in at bookclubs.com using your account info and password (same as app) and then go to your club's page. You'll find your club listed under "My Clubs."

If you are on the app you can edit the club’s “about us” or “short description” by navigating to the about page and then clicking the little pencil icon to edit. Only club admins can make changes to the club description.
Can I charge a subscription fee to members of my book club?
