Stonewake

READERS

Stonewake isn’t finished becoming what it will be yet.

Some readers will help shape the story before it’s done. Others will be among the first to read it when it moves toward publication.

If you’d like to be part of either group, you can find the details below.

BETA READERS

HELP SHAPE THE CLIMB

Beta readers receive an unpublished draft of Stonewake and read as readers first—not proofreaders.

I’m looking for honest reactions to the story: where you were hooked, confused, suspicious, emotional, bored, surprised, or desperate to keep reading. Feedback may include characters, pacing, clarity, worldbuilding, emotional impact, and the overall reading experience.

Beta reading may happen in different rounds as the manuscript develops. Applying does not guarantee selection, and selected readers will be asked to keep unpublished material, plot details, quotes, screenshots, and spoilers confidential.

ARC READERS

CLIMB BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE

Stonewake is not at the ARC stage yet.

This is an interest list for readers who would like to be considered for an Advance Reader Copy as the book moves toward publication.

ARCs are pre-publication copies shared with readers who may choose to review, recommend, discuss, or create content about the book. Joining the interest list does not guarantee an ARC.

Reader reach is not the only factor considered. Genre fit, engagement, review history, enthusiasm for the book, and available copies may all be taken into account. Honest reactions are always welcome; positive reviews are never required.
