To create a new account: hit the JOIN button in the upper right hand corner of the website and select a paid or free membership plan.

The best way log into the members-only area of the club website is using the button in the upper right corner of your screen. If you are already logged in, this button will say ACCOUNT. If you are not logged in, this button will say JOIN.

If you are logged out, tap the JOIN button then scroll down to the bottom of the registration window and click "Already a member? Sign in". Ghost will then email you a login link.

Ghost does not use passwords. You will always receive an email with login link to access the site. If you have cookies enabled, you will remain logged in until you choose to log out.

To manually log out click the ACCOUNT button and hit Sign Out in the lower left.

Other ways to log on: If you are logged out and trying to access a members-only page, you will see a yellow window with a button that likely says "Start Flourishing". If you look right under this button, it says "Already a member? Sign in." Tap that and Ghost will send you a new login link.

If you are quoting or paraphrasing me:
1. Use quotation marks around my words.
2. Credit the quote with my full name: Jennifer Armbrust

If you switch to a monthly membership to a yearly membership: you will be immediately upgraded and your year of paid access will commence. That means if you have time left in the monthly period you already paid for, it will be lost. This is annoying, I know; but, it's an automated Ghost setting that I cannot control. To avoid wasting money, consider waiting until the end of your current monthly period before upgrading to an annual subscription. Another option is canceling your monthly subscription and waiting until your membership period expires, then re-joining with an annual plan.

If you switch from a yearly to a monthly membership: the change will not come into effect until the end of your current annual membership period. In this case, at the end of your 12 month membership, your account will roll over to monthly payments. There is no way to swap an annual membership for a monthly membership and receive any sort of refund.

You can cancel your paid membership at any time. Your member access will expire at the end of the period you have already paid for, and you will not receive further subscription charges.

To cancel your paid membership and downgrade to a free account:

1. Make sure your are logged into your account. Once you are logged in, click the ACCOUNT button in the top right of your screen. A pop-up will appear with your account information. On the second row, click "Change" next to your subscription category.
2. Then, scroll to the bottom of the window, and click "Cancel Subscription" In the next window, click "Confirm Cancelation". Your membership will expire at the completion of your active subscription period and you will not be charged again. You will retain your member benefits for the duration of the period you paid for. For example, if you sign up for a yearly membership and cancel after 6 months, you will continue to enjoy all of your member benefits for the remaining 6 months and your membership will not be renewed after 12 month.
   
   ✻ Please note: Unsubscribing from emails (either in the ACCOUNT window or through the footer of an email) does not cancel your paid subscription or remove you from our system; it simply stops email delivery.
3. Once your paid membership expires, you will automatically be downgraded to the "Free Member" subscription tier. You will continue to be able to log in to the website but you will only have access to free club content. You will no longer receive paid-member emails but you will receive our general newsletter, unless you unsubscribe.

If You are a Paid Member: NO
Unsubscribing from my email newsletter does not cancel your paid subscription or remove you from our system. It simply stops email delivery. As a paid member, you will still be able to log into the Feminist Flourishing Club website and access all your other member benefits, until you cancel your account.

If you want to stop receiving emails but keep your account active, you can unsubscribe by logging into your account or toggling "Subscribe" to off, or clicking "unsubscribe" in the footer of one of our emails.

If You are a Free Member: YES
If you are a free member and you choose to unsubscribe from Feminist Flourishing Club newsletters, your membership account will be deleted and you will not be able to access the members-only areas of the website. This is because we are charged per user and we assume if you unsubscribe as a free member, you are no longer interested in our content. If you unsubscribed and you'd like to rejoin the club at a later date, you will be able to create a new account with the same email address.

🌞 If you want to retain access to the members-only content on the site, but DO NOT want to receive emails, you need to become a paid member.

Feminist Flourishing Club & Sister Mailing Lists
When you sign up for FFC, you are automatically subscribed to the Sister mailing list, which is housed on a separate platform. If you wish to unsubscribe from the Sister emails, you can do so by clicking "unsubscribe" in the footer of the next Sister email you get.

Most likely, if you have not canceled your membership but are unable to access paid-member content even after logging in, it is likely that your card on-file expired. To re-up your membership, make sure you are logged in and click the ACCOUNT button in the upper right hand corner; if the pop-up shows you on the Free tier, re-activate your paid subscription by clicking "Manage" and choosing an available membership plan.

✻ It's possible your membership was terminated. Membership in the Feminist Flourishing Club is a privilege, not a right. Jennifer Armbrust, Sister, and Feminist Flourishing Club reserve the right to cancel any membership at any time for any reason, without explanation. The circumstances under which are likely happen include: unethical behavior, plagiarism, IP theft, unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material; violation of the community guidelines and club code of conduct; harmful or hostile behavior directed towards me or another member of the club. If you have been removed from the club by admin, and you attempt to re-join in the future, your new membership will be canceled and your account will be deleted.
