Find the Right Readers for Your Book

Stop posting in Facebook groups. Stop chasing people on Discord. Reader Guild gives you access to thousands of committed, genre-matched readers who are actively looking for books to read — right now.

Sound familiar?

Post in 10 Facebook groups and get 3 responses — 2 of whom ghost you.

Find beta readers who say yes, then never actually read your manuscript.

Spend weeks recruiting when you should be writing.

Get feedback from readers who don't even read your genre.

Reader Guild solves all of this.

Other tools help you manage readers you already found. Reader Guild finds them for you.

Real Reader Discovery

Our readers signed up specifically to find books to read. They're not doing you a favor — they're excited.

Genre-Matched

Readers set their genre preferences. Your Romance campaign won't be polluted with Sci-Fi readers.

Reader Profiles & Accountability

See a reader's history, turnaround time, and feedback style before you approve them.

Fast Recruitment

Instead of weeks of posting and chasing, get applicants within days of launching your campaign.

Full Campaign Management

Track applications, approvals, and campaign progress from a clean author dashboard.

Better Value

Flat fee per campaign. No subscription. Way cheaper than the time you spend recruiting on your own.
