How it works
From invite link to chapter seven.
Three steps to a room where your group reads one copy, talks on the same page and asks Quill what they missed.
Three steps
Set up once. Read for weeks.
- 1
Start a room
One book, up to 25 readers. Share an invite link and revoke it whenever you like.
- 2
Add the book
One member uploads the PDF. Others confirm they own the book and read it, or upload their own edition.
- 3
Read, talk, ask
Thread a passage, meet the checkpoint, run a live session, or ask Quill about the page you're on.
The details
Every part of a room.
The room's copy
One upload for the whole room.
- Members confirm they own the book to read it
- Bring your own edition if you prefer; editions line up by chapter
- Nobody outside the room can open it
Rooms
One book, up to 25 readers.
- No public directory

Your chapter and how far into it.

Checkpoints
A shared target like “Ch. 7 by Thursday”.

Quill
Answers from your copy, up to your page.
