Share release news
Post about new releases across your platforms when a new book publishes. Format, timing, and tone are entirely your call.
Community
The Street Team
A small crew of dedicated readers who help get word of new books into the right hands. Voluntary, informal, no obligation to post on any schedule.
What the Team Does
Three things, done your way
Post honest reviews
Leave genuine reviews on publication day on at least one public platform. Honest assessments, including critical ones, are welcome.
Amplify signal
Share content in the reader communities you already participate in. No joining new groups or reaching audiences that are not yours.
What You Receive
In exchange
- Early review copies of new titles, typically 4 to 6 weeks before publication
- Advance excerpt access during the writing process for upcoming books
- Credit in the acknowledgments of books you helped launch
- Direct access to the author for questions about books, research, or writing
- Occasional behind-the-scenes updates on works in progress
The Commitment
No quotas. No penalties.
Street Team membership is entirely voluntary. There is no posting schedule, no required number of shares per book, and no tracking of activity. You can be as active or as quiet as you want.
If life gets busy or a particular book is not a fit for your audience, you are not obligated to post about it. You can step back at any time and return whenever you like. There is no application required to rejoin after going quiet.
The one expectation that applies without exception: any reviews you post must reflect your actual assessment of the book. Fabricated enthusiasm, boilerplate praise, or reviews written without having read the book are not acceptable. Critical honesty is more useful than hollow approval.
To leave the Street Team, reply to any Street Team email or contact the author. No explanation required.
The next release
A novel · Coming July 6, 2027
The Last Daughter of the Sea
Thera · Autumn, 347 BCE
She had been called many things by the men who found her. Foundling. Witch. Consecrated. She had not corrected any of them.
In the autumn of 347 BCE, a trireme is found burning off the coast of Thera. The sole survivor — a woman, found lashed to the mast, holding a sealed clay cylinder against her chest with both hands — refuses to explain who she is, where the ship was going, or why someone set it alight. The cylinder contains the port manifests of every ship that has moved through the eastern Aegean for twelve years, recorded in a script no one living is supposed to know how to read. She says her name is Thalassa. She says this is sufficient. The men who find her cannot agree on whether that is a name or a title or a warning.
