Left Unread Books | I have a secret... wanna hear about...

I have a secret... wanna hear about it? OPEN THE EMAIL!

OK, so here's the deal.

I want you to have access to everything we are working on as soon as possible. And you know that because if you are regularly paying attention to my discord and coming to my events, you know I drop things in there early (if the Bindery team is reading this, I am JOKING. I would NEVER share things I'm not supposed to!).

My philosophy is: we are in this together and I want you to be involved! Especially if the entire goal is for us to be working together as a community to fight for our authors to take up space. Right?

Which is why when the Bindery team suggested that we add early ARCs to our perks for our paid tiers, I jumped at the opportunity to ask what y'all thought. Because one of the few parts of this process I have hated is having to keep these stories from you for so long!

I WANT YOU TO FREAKING READ THEM!!!!

Starting with Devil of the Deep, if you are a paid subscriber (at any tier), you will be getting an ARC of all of our published books five to six months before launch, instead of a finished copy a few weeks early. Our goal is to get the stories you believe in in your hands as soon as possible. Which opens the door for me to do early bookclub with you guys and for you to have more useful conversations with our authors earlier in this process. So many of you are already championing our authors. It can only make things easier for you to be able to actually read the stories earlier.

And don't worry, we will get you a massive discount when it is time to pre-order those projects!!!

What I need from you:

  1. If you are not already a paid subscriber, I would love for you to upgrade right now. Especially if you want that early copy of Devil of the Deep. That book comes out in spring of 2026, so those ARCs will be going out soon. If you want that one, I need you to upgrade by the 31st of THIS MONTH.

    • $5 subscribers will get an e-ARC of all future books.
    • $12 and $25 subscribers will get an e-ARC, a physical ARC, and their names will be listed in the book itself as a collaborator on the project.

  2. Help me spread the word.

    • Share the content I am making on Social Media about this shift and about the community.
    • Tell your audience how excited you are for your ARC of Devil of the Deep and encourage them to apply for ARCs and to subscribe to the community.
    • Share the graphic I am including in this post and drop a link for the community.
    • Tell your audience/friends that you are excited for Left Unread's exclusive bookclub and invite them to join. Let them know we read all of our books five to six months early and have the chance to meet together and talk to the author before anyone else has even read the book.

As always, thank you so much for being here and never feel pressured to upgrade if it's not reasonable for your family! I know exactly how bad our economy is and I want you to always choose your family! But if $5 or $12 won't break ya, I would love if you would pour that money into helping us change the fucking world. Because that is what we are trying to do. The literature that comes out of the most vulnerable is revolutionary. And the world needs as much of that as it can get right now. So help us make sure it keeps getting produced and shoved down this administration's throat.

Love you all!
