Schedule

Pen Pal Book Gal matches are run every two months.
Sign-ups open one month, and the physical exchange of books and letters happens the following month.

This schedule gives our gals plenty of time to finish their book — because we get it, life can get busy!

We also structure it this way so that:

  1. Our gals can choose whether to participate each round — no locked-in memberships!

  2. We can create new matches each time, giving everyone a chance to meet different Pen Pal Gals.
