V. Author Services

Author services for everything around the writing.

Beta reading, social media planning and management, and ARC and street team coordination, so you can spend your time writing the next book.

Beta reading is separate from editing: it shows you how real readers experience your book.

How we support authors

Beta reading

Single reader or reader panel

Readers matched to your genre give honest feedback on how your book lands. Choose a panel for a combined summary of their responses.

Social media planning and management

Monthly: planning, scheduling or full management

Content plans and captions written in your voice, with scheduling or full account management and monthly reporting if you want it.

ARC and street team coordination

Per campaign

We recruit readers, send advance copies, keep your team engaged and gather reviews on Amazon, Goodreads and social media.

Questions authors ask us

What is a beta reader?

A beta reader reads your book before publication as an ordinary reader would, and tells you where they were gripped, confused or bored.

Is beta reading the same as editing?

No. Editing improves the writing itself. Beta reading shows you how readers experience the story, which can guide your revisions or your edit.

How many beta readers do I need?

One reader gives you a single honest perspective. A panel of three to five shows you patterns, which are often more useful.

What is an ARC team?

An ARC team is a group of readers who receive advance review copies of your book and post honest reviews around launch.

Can you manage my author Instagram or TikTok?

Yes. Choose planning only, planning and scheduling, or full management with engagement and monthly reporting.

How long do I have to sign up for?

Social media support runs monthly, and we agree the length with you. Beta reading and ARC campaigns are one-off projects.
