Plan your event with a 15-minute call with us.

We'll customize your readers' experience by breaking your book into manageable weekly reading segments with segment introductions, discussion prompts, and more!

Engage your readers

Participants virtually annotate your book using Perusall's social features.

Interact with readers by replying to comments, asking questions, and upvoting thoughtful responses—all in just 15 minutes a week or whenever it fits your schedule.

Join the Q&A

Perusall staff will host a live Q&A session where you can connect directly with your audience and reflect on the event.

“I've been writing professionally for more than 25 years, More Than Words is my ninth book, I've had a weekly newspaper column for more than 13 years, a blog at Inside Higher Education for roughly the same amount of time, and I've never experienced anything like seeing other people read and comment on my work as a community with me as a witness and participant.”
