I'm happy to connect with everyone here

Hello everyone. I hope you’re doing well. My name is Thelma, and I curate Beyond the Cover, a private reader circle of over 2,800 engaged readers who enjoy discovering books through thoughtful discussion rather than hype-driven promotion. I’m reaching out to open a respectful conversation. From time to time, we invite authors whose work benefits from intentional reader placement to introduce their books to our community. Readers engage naturally, reading at their own pace, discussing themes, and sharing genuine reflections based on personal experience. This is not a review service, publicity blast, or guaranteed-results model. It’s designed for authors who value meaningful reader connection, especially in genres where organic reach can be difficult without word-of-mouth. Some authors choose a simple introduction to the community, while others prefer a more structured reader experience that includes coordinated access, reading timelines, and moderated discussion. These curated programs require planning and facilitation on our end and are offered as optional paid experiences. Participation is always voluntary, and authors decide what level of involvement feels appropriate. If this sounds aligned with how you approach your work, I’d be happy to continue the conversation.
