Transform your book into a reading experience

Discover insights. Build community. Reach more readers.
A Perusall book event is a virtual, interactive reading experience for your readers.
Fast & easy to set up at no charge. Participants only need to buy the book!

Gain valuable feedback

See how your book truly resonates. Every annotation, question, and highlight offers a window into readers’ perspectives to help you refine your message, understand impact, and spark new directions for your work.

Sell more books

Transform engaged readers into advocates. When readers interact deeply with your book, they’re more likely to share, recommend, and promote your work.

Build a dynamic community

Think of it as an interactive platform built around your book. Readers engage directly with your ideas, discuss them with others, and invite you into the conversation.

How it works

Join the conversation with your readers!

Our Perusall staff will set up your event

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!

Expand the audience for your book

Perusall's catalog has over 1.4 million books from 56,000+ publishers.

Perusall will offer your book to over 4 million users and promote your book event with you.

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 1 hour a week when 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.”
