Hi Piper,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful message and for raising an important point about trust. I completely understand your perspective especially since many indie authors have had discouraging experiences with “services” that overpromise and underdeliver. That’s exactly why I like to be as clear as possible about how our community works and how it benefits both authors and readers
Here’s the process step by step:
Step 1 – Book Details
You share your book’s title, genre, retailer link Amazon/Wattpad and format Kindle, ARC, or paperback. Many authors also include a short intro or bio so readers connect personally with them.
Step 2 – Reader Distribution
We match your book with a select group of readers in our private circle. To start, most authors choose 30–50 readers, which gives them a focused, manageable way to see how the process works.
Step 3 Reading & Reviews
Readers are given 14–21 days to read and leave honest reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, or your preferred platform. These are genuine book lovers, so credibility and authenticity always come first.
Step 4 Momentum Beyond Reviews
What authors often appreciate most is that many readers don’t stop after reviewing. They recommend titles they enjoy to friends, book clubs, and social spaces helping your book gain traction organically.
Step 5 Reader Tip
Instead of paying high marketing fees, authors show appreciation with a $20–$30 tip. This isn’t a payment for reviews but a thankyou that helps readers cover their “coffee tea or snack” while reading and sustains the community. Authors are fully in control of how many readers they engage and at what pace.
Many writers begin with 30–50 readers, see the results, and then expand once they feel confident. It’s a simple, transparent, and respectful approach designed to make sure your book reaches real people who genuinely want to read it.
If you’d like, I can share examples of how other authors got started small and then grew comfortably
Warm regards,
Jessica
