As an author myself, I know how important early reviews and word-of-mouth buzz are—especially when you’re self-publishing or launching your latest release.

That’s why I created The Reading Room —a reader-forward ARC list and review platform that actually connects you with engaged, genre-specific readers who want to help you succeed.

Whether you're launching your debut novel or growing your backlist, we make it easy to get your book into the right hands, at the right time.

How it Works:

  • We post on social media to notify our readers that your book is coming up
  • We post your book on our website with the date it is going live
  • We email our readers to notify them during the 2-day promotion (both days) to remind them download your book
  • We send reminders to review your book.
  • At present, books for the week are sent out each Thursday/Friday  
  • We ask you for a minimum 2-day promo - this helps our readers to download your book in time
  • We will also ask you if you want to record a reading, hold a live Q&A on our Facebook page (other platforms to follow) to help promote your book and connect with our readers. 
  • And we are promoting you for free, we will ask every author to do the same for us and share a post on our social media to encourage family, friends, contacts to join the Reading Room. It benefits us all! 

📚 Targeted Reader Groups by Genre

  • Targeted Reader Groups by Genre - Your book goes to readers who already love your genre—no spray-and-pray lists here.
  • Genuine Reviews from Real Readers - Our readers are selected for engagement, not just freebie chasing.
  • Boost Launch Visibility - Early reviews = better rankings, better sales, and stronger social proof.
  • Author-Friendly Setup - We handle list building and reader management. You just supply the book!

💼 Who This Is For:


  • Indie authors or small press authors looking to grow reach
  • Writers preparing for launch week

  • Authors wanting genre-specific ARC readers

  • Creators who value community & quality over volume


🧭 How It Works


  • Fill out the quick form below
  • Select your genre(s) and submit your book details

  • We’ll match you with engaged readers in your niche

  • You get honest reviews, feedback & fans—simple!


We send out a curated email every Thursday featuring that week's book selections.
Our emails are carefully timed and optimised to land in readers’ inboxes at the perfect moment to maximise your visibility and engagement.

When you sign up, you’ll be able to choose your preferred promotion week.
To complete your submission, we’ll ask for:

  • A short author bio
  • A short book description (bio)
  • A copy of your book for unverified ARC readers
  • A copy of your eBook cover (required for verified ARC reviews)
  • Your social media links
  • Your Amazon review link

This not only allows readers to review your book but also gives them the chance to follow you across platforms—a unique opportunity to build lasting connections with engaged, early fans.
