Beta Readers: Join A.J.'s Magical Reading Team! 

Welcome, fellow book lovers! Whether you're a detailed-oriented beta reader ready to help shape my stories, or an enthusiastic ARC reader eager to spread the word about new releases, I'm thrilled you're here. As someone who understands the importance of genuine connections (even if they make me slightly anxious), I'm excited to build a community of passionate readers who love fantasy romance as much as I do! 🌟

 

What's the Difference?

🔍 Beta Readers

You'll be my early story companions who:

• Read near-final drafts

• Provide detailed feedback on plot, characters, and world-building

• Help catch plot holes (because my ADHD brain sometimes creates unexpected story portals!)

• Share thoughts on pacing and character development

• Get exclusive early access to my chaotic creativity

​

​

📖 ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) Readers

You'll be my book launch champions who:

• Receive free digital copies before release

• Post honest reviews on launch day

• Share your excitement on social media

• Help create buzz around release day

• Join my street team for special opportunities

​

 

🌟 What You'll Receive

Beta Readers

  • Early access to manuscripts

  • Direct communication with me

  • Acknowledgment in the book

  • Signed copy of the final version

  • Special beta reader swag (If US Based and Shipped Twice a year.)​

 

A Note from A.J.:

Thank you for considering joining my reading team! While I might be awkward in person, I promise to be responsive, appreciative, and genuinely excited to work with you.

How I "Pay" My Beta Readers

Personally, I don’t pay my alpha or beta readers in money.

That said, since alpha and beta readers are volunteers, it’s important to show appreciation for their time and feedback. Rather than offering monetary compensation, I like to thank my readers with a swag bag when my book is published. For example, when my book What Darkness Binds: Shadows of the Faye: Book Two was released, I included the following items in my beta reader swag bag:

  • Exclusive Double-Sided Bookmarks

  • A T-shirt (Choice of 3 Designs)

  • Character Art Stickers

  • Faye Realm Map Print/Poster

  • Signed Omnibus Edition of the Book

Swag Bag Note:  (Must be based in the US or willing to pay the shipping cost to get the swag bag to your location and Swag Bags are shipped twice a year.)
