FAQ

How do I sign up?

There is no sign up form. Your first monthly entry will sign you up for the challenge.

How do I submit my monthly entry?

You can submit your monthly entry using this form. With our submission manager, you will be able to log in and see all of the entries you have submitted throughout the year.

Do you send reminder emails to submit?

Yes! We send out a newsletter at the end of each month reminding participants to submit. This email will be sent to the email address we have on file in the submission manager. If you are not receiving these emails, please check your spam or promotions folder.

Can I edit or delete my entry?

Unfortunately the submission manager does not allow participants to edit or delete their own entries. However, you can send us an email with your request, and we’d be happy to edit or delete your entry for you.

Is there a specific date I need to submit my entry every month?

You can submit your entry whenever you finish reading your book for that month, even if it’s past the last day of that month. However, to be eligible for the monthly drawing, your book must be submitted by the last day of the month. Monthly drawings will take place on the 1st (starting in February).

What if I do not submit an entry every month?

If you find the challenge late or you skip a month, that’s okay! You can still participate in the challenge and be eligible for monthly drawings.

What if I cannot find a book for a specific category?

Your local library or bookstore can be a great resource for you to find books that qualify for each category. Mass Center for the Book is providing book recommendations for each month that you can navigate to on the main Reading Challenge page.

Can I participate if I live outside of Massachusetts?

Although the program will be promoted throughout Massachusetts, all are welcome to participate.

How can I connect with other participants?

We host a Facebook group for Reading Challenge participants, and you are welcome to join here.
