Real reading loads honestly — no numbers until they’re true.
Margin feedback · ARC campaigns · Reverse query
Real readers for unpublished books.
Authors share works in progress. Readers respond in the margin, line by line. Agents find the manuscripts readers already love.
Sneak-peek chapters free · no agent, no gatekeeper
Plate I · The reading hour
How it works
One loop. Three seats at the table.
Evidence captured while a real reader reads — flowing to the author’s desk and the agent’s dossier without translation.
I
In the margin
Readers react, comment, redline, and flag — each note anchored to the exact line, captured the moment it lands.
II
On the desk
Every note arrives in your revision inbox. Accept a redline straight into the draft, re-run the round, and watch the numbers move.
III
In the dossier
Agents browse proof, not pitches. The query letter, replaced by a page that shows how readers actually responded.
The proof
Numbers no one could fake.
ARCReader writes every statistic itself, from real reading sessions. Authors can’t touch them — which is exactly why an agent will trust them.

Empty until your readers read. ARCReader fills these itself — you never can.
