For readers who like to be heard
Claim a book you'll actually enjoy, read at your own pace, and tell the author what really worked — and what didn't. Honest feedback pays.
The harbor was quiet that morning, quieter than Mara had ever truly known it.
She told herself it meant nothing. But the boats sat too still, and the gulls had gone somewhere she couldn't see.
Friends say “I loved it!” Family won't criticize. Writing groups are stretched thin. What an author actually needs is a real reader who will tell them the truth — and that's the whole job here.
Not as a critic or an editor — just as the person the book is actually for. That perspective is exactly what authors can’t get on their own.
Where you got bored, confused, or hooked tells an author more than any rating. You report what happened in your head while you read.
Authors pay for candor, not compliments. If something didn’t land for you, saying so is the most valuable thing you can do.
From signing up to getting paid, the whole thing is built to stay out of your way.
Browse the library and claim a book that interests you. Each one shows the deadline and pay rate before you commit.
Read on your own schedule, on whatever device you like. No quotas, no daily check-ins.
Write down your honest reaction — what landed, what dragged, where you stopped. Specifics, not star ratings.
Once your feedback is approved, your earnings are credited. Cash out to your bank whenever you want.
You don't need credentials — you need to be specific. Same note, two ways:
Doesn't help
“The dialogue is terrible.”
A verdict with nowhere to go. The author can't do anything with it.
What authors pay for
“The dialogue between Jake and Maria in chapter 5 felt stiff — like they were explaining things to each other they'd already know. It pulled me out of the scene.”
Specific, located, and honest. That's a gift an author can actually use.
Sign up in under a minute. Pick a book, read it, say what you really think.
