Meet your people

It’s easy to meet new people with After School’s bite-sized book club.

Complete a quick form to tell us about your interests and we’ll match you with a compatible reading group.

Our editors assign your group a contemporary magazine article to read before you meet up.

We book a table at a local bar and provide you with conversation prompts about the article you read. It’s like a book club.

Let us know what you thought of your group and reading selection and we’ll build a stronger community.

Our editors select reported stories, personal essays, or short fiction from well-known publications.

Sometimes, we’ll use articles that dominate the discourse, like Bad Art Friend or Cat Person.

We stay away from politics and hot-button issues. We want you to be stimulated not mad.

We always ask for your feedback to better choose stories that provoke thought and spark joy.
