Read our new books three weeks before anyone else.
Read It First is the JL Collins Publishing launch team. You get each new book free, about three weeks before release. We ask for one honest review on release day. That is the whole deal.
The book free, three weeks early
Bonus scenes and extras
Here is the honest version
Every book lives or dies in its first week. What decides whether readers ever find it is not the cover or the blurb. It is whether a handful of real people showed up on day one and said what they thought. That is a launch team. Not marketing. Not cheerleading. Just readers who got there first and were willing to say something honest.
What we ask
One honest review on release day, wherever you buy books. Honest means honest: if a book does not work for you, say so. And you never have to read a book that is not your thing. Skip it. Nobody is keeping score.
Five authors, very different books
Pick the authors you actually want to read. Start with one, or tick two or three. Plenty of readers do.
Pick your team
Five authors publish under this roof: the four below, plus Lori Collins, who writes non-fiction on real estate, retirement, caregiving, and organizing a life that will not sit still. When you sign up below, tick the ones you want advance copies from.
Jessie Clark
Mystery, thriller and suspense. Detectives, cold cases, and one woman who remembers everything.
Jennie Wren Foster
Romantasy and romance. Big worlds, big feelings, warm hearts.
Kira Deveraux
Spicy romantasy and dark romance. Corporate power plays and dragons. Adult readers.
Clara Langford
Romance for women over forty. Small towns, second chances, grown-up love.
