I made some changed to help clarify what hte community is about. However, I am not changing my dream of getting paid for objective reviews to match books to the right people. I will continue to reach out to authors, and maybe begin to reach out to some readers for their thoughts on the community as well.

I’ve put together a Reader-Market Fit Analysis (RMFA) for Arcanym—basically a 1-page report that identifies: - The readers most likely to love the book - Who might DNF (stop reading) - The key tropes, tone, and vibes that appeal to the audience - Comp titles and simple positioning insights for marketing I’ve attached the draft so you can see exactly what it looks like. My goal is to create a practical, actionable tool that helps authors know who to target and how to position their book—without me needing to read the full manuscript. I’m thinking of offering these reports at $79 per book, but I’d love your honest take: - Does this feel useful? - Would $79 feel reasonable for something like this? - Anything you’d tweak to make it even more valuable? I really appreciate your feedback—it would help me refine this so it’s actually helpful for authors. I love the hook on the second version!

I was using a tried and true DM message for my outreach and I got a nibble at offer 15. This response was all wrong and they completely misunderstood what I was offering. I went back to my DM and mashed up my crafted DM with the tried and true one and created the best of both. Now my offer is more clear and I hope to get better responses from the rest. It never hurts to bounce your ideas of people that have no idea what you're about. They are the best test if your offer is clear enough.

How to stop wasting time on the wrong books (and help authors find the right readers) Most readers don’t quit books because the writing is “bad.”They quit because the book was a bad match for what they expected. This checklist helps you identify whether a book fits your preferences before you invest hours into it. ✅ THE DNF PREVENTION CHECKLIST (READERS) 1. Genre Fit Check Before starting, confirm: - What genre is this really? - Does it contain romance, subplot romance, or no romance? - Is it more action-driven or character-driven? If you can’t answer this clearly, you’re gambling. 2. Tone + Vibe Check Ask yourself: - Do I want dark, light, or emotionally heavy? - Do I want cozy, intense, or chaotic? - Do I want humor or seriousness? 🚩 Tone mismatch is one of the #1 reasons people DNF. 3. Trope Compatibility Check Look for key tropes (or avoid-tropes) such as: - enemies-to-lovers - chosen one - slow burn - love triangle - morally gray characters - found family - tragic ending potential If the tropes don’t match what you enjoy, DNF is likely. 4. Pacing Check Be honest: - Do I want fast-paced plot? - Do I want slow-building character development? - Do I tolerate long setup chapters? 🚩 If you hate slow starts, avoid books labeled “slow burn” or “character-driven.” 5. Writing Style Check Do you prefer: - lyrical prose or simple prose? - first person or third person? - heavy inner monologue or more action/dialogue? If the style annoys you early, it usually won’t improve later. 6. Content + Trigger Check Before committing, confirm: - violence level - sexual content level - trauma themes - taboo topics - pregnancy/child themes - abuse themes It’s not “too sensitive” to screen content. It’s efficient. 7. Relationship Dynamic Check (Romance Readers) Ask: - is this healthy romance or toxic romance? - is there cheating? - is it high angst or low angst? - is it explicit or fade-to-black? 🚩 Readers DNF romance books most often due to unexpected dynamics.

I have been working with a mentor in another community called Launch Your Community. Link here: https://www.skool.com/launch-your-community/about?ref=4ba32d82efdd4582a6906101129e5742 My plan over the next 7 days is to really promote this community and get us up and running with members. I will be documenting my journey so that all of you can follow along and hopefully meet some awesome folks along the way
