Welcome to the Flexible Book Exchange, a club for writers and readers looking to get feedback on their work. Unlike the traditional structure of a regular book club, you are in charge of your book club experience. You choose the books you read, how...
Please note that this chapter is for current or past FBE participants. If you have never participated in the club before and have not already filled out a form, please read the 'how this works' chapters and use the 'Sign-up for new members/books' chapter :)
Welcome back, everyone!
Thank you very much to Bigfivedonaldduckfan and MarCafeWrites for their wonderful work verifying the exchange comments and updating the club policies. I couldn't run the club without you <3

Housekeeping notes (same as last month)
If you need to contact FBE privately, you can reach me on Discord (Sarahparadis) or by club email: flexible book exchange (at) gmail.com (just take out the spaces and use the real at sign). Please nudge me with a comment in this book or on the FBE message board if you send an e-mail, so I don't miss it :)
We have a club Discord for any of you who feel social (link on our profile). Feel free to stop by and liven it up, ask for help with your writing, or chat about whatever you feel like :)
***
Extensions will be a maximum of 14 days past the deadline. After that point, you'll receive a warning. You can still complete your exchange after 14 days and rejoin the club when there is space. If your exchanges go past the 14-day extension period for a second month, then you will no longer be able to participate in the club.
Please note that there are case-by-case exceptions to the 14-day rule. Medical, family, and mental health emergencies will not be subject to the 14-day rule.
