About

New indie fiction.
Found here first.

AdvanceReads is a place to discover new independent authors in the genres you already love — and get early access to their upcoming launches before the rest of the world catches on.

How it works

1

We find the books

We curate new indie fiction across thriller, mystery, suspense, and more — series and standalones from authors who take their craft seriously.

2

You read them early

Sign up for advance reader copies and get books before they publish. Read for free, leave an honest review if you'd like — that's it.

3

No noise, no algorithms

We send occasional emails about new launches in your genres. That's the whole model. No spam, no social media churn, no pay-to-play rankings.

Are you an indie author?

We're exploring ways to help independent authors reach readers who are genuinely looking for their next series. If you write genre fiction and want to be in the loop as we figure this out, drop your email below — no commitment, no obligations. If we build something that could help your next launch, we'll reach out.

Get notified if we open this up to authors.
