By Invitation
Read first.
Whisper second.
A small, careful circle of early readers for the Uncut Pages Bookshop Mysteries. Advance copies, quiet correspondence, and the first look at a town before the rest of the world arrives.
The Street Team
A small circle of early readers for a quiet coastal series.
Nora’s debut series, The Uncut Pages Bookshop Mysteries, is a coastal cozy: an inherited bookshop, a foggy New England town, and the kind of small-town secrets that take more than one book to surface.
The Street Team is a selective, invitation-only circle of readers who love cozy mysteries — atmospheric ones, character ones, slow-burn ones — and who want to step into Saltmarsh Harbor before the rest of the world arrives. Not a giveaway list. Not a newsletter. A small reading room.
The Exchange
A quiet trade —
pages for honesty.
What you’ll get
From the bookshop, to you.
Advance review copies
Free digital ARCs of each Saltmarsh Harbor novel, delivered before publication — months ahead of general release.
Behind-the-shelves notes
Quiet correspondence on craft, research, and the small things that shape Sophie’s world — written for readers, not for marketing.
Exclusive updates
First word on covers, titles, release dates, and seasonal extras. No newsletter clutter — just the parts that matter.
Bonus content
Occasional short stories, deleted scenes, and Saltmarsh ephemera reserved for the Street Team alone.
What I ask
In return, a small kindness.
An honest review
Post a candid review on Amazon, Goodreads, or your platform of choice within two weeks of publication. Stars optional, honesty essential.
Timely reading
Read each ARC within the agreed window. Life happens — but consistent silence quietly closes the door for the next book.
No spoilers
Keep plot reveals out of public reviews and social posts until launch day. The mystery belongs to every reader who comes after.
Light, genuine support
Share what you actually loved — a quote, a mood, a photo, a recommendation to a friend. No quotas, no scripts.
Apply
Step into
the reading room.
A few quiet questions. The Street Team is small and curated — I read every application personally and write back when a spot opens.
ARC slots are limited and offered at the author’s discretion. All advance copies are digital (ePub / PDF) and shared only with confirmed Street Team readers in exchange for honest, voluntary reviews. ARCs may not be resold, redistributed, or shared publicly. Submitting an application does not guarantee a slot.
