What Still Lingers is the kind of book that stays with you long after the last line—full of memory fragments, near-forgotten moments, and the quiet ache of what never fully left. If you’d like to read it before it finds its way into the world, you can request an advance copy. Early readers get the story while it’s still warm, still breathing, still unsure of itself—and that’s part of the magic. Join my beta team and receive a free copy in exchange for an honest review!
Beta reading isn’t formal, but it is intimate. If you join, you’ll receive an early, unpolished version of the book before it’s ready to be seen by the rest of the world. You’ll read it with care, as if you’re eavesdropping on something private. Afterward, I’ll ask for your quiet thoughts—what felt true, what didn’t land, where you paused or lingered too long. Nothing fancy. Just honesty, gently offered.
You’ll get a digital copy of the manuscript, access to a short feedback form, and some occasional whispers from me about behind-the-scenes decisions. The tone will be raw. Some pages may change. You’re catching the story in mid-bloom, and your insight might shape what it becomes. Expect vulnerability. Expect typos. Expect to be part of the weather before the storm arrives.
Receiving a free book is an exchange—quiet care for early pages. You don’t need to flatter or fix the story. You do need to read it with presence. Share your thoughts with kindness, leave a review if the story moved something in you, and help others find the book when the time comes. This is about reciprocity. About tending to each other’s words in the tender stage, before they harden into print.
