Advance Readers
Project Forge Advance Reader Program
Join a standing pool of thoughtful readers who may be invited to read future Project Forge titles before publication.
Matched with care
When a title is ready, we invite readers whose interests and capacity fit that book.
Respond honestly
Private feedback is welcome. Public reviews are optional and must always reflect your real opinion.
How the program works
The Advance Reader Program helps Project Forge place early copies with readers who are a genuine fit for a title. An application places you in a pool. It is not an assignment, permanent membership, or a promise of free books.
Digital and print availability vary by title. Some books may offer one format and not another. Selection depends on the needs of each release, available copies, and your stated interests and capacity. Project Forge may pause applications at any time.
A positive review is never required. If you choose to post a public review after receiving a free or discounted copy, disclose that relationship where platform rules or applicable guidelines require it, and keep the review honest.
Information you submit is used to operate this program and related communications. See Privacy and Data Deletion for how information is handled and how deletion may be requested.
