Be My Beta Reader!
Some stories are written to be told. Others are written so someone else might feel a little less alone.
I'm inviting a small group of early readers to be among the first to experience Broken Open, my upcoming memoir about coming out later in life, love, polyamory, motherhood, heartbreak, and the messy, beautiful courage it takes to build a life that is truly your own.
You'll receive a FREE digital copy of my book before it's published. In return, I'm hoping for something invaluable: your honest thoughts, your perspective, and a little of your time.
You don't need to be a professional editor, an experienced reviewer, or even someone who has ever been part of a beta reading team. Just a curious human who loves a good story and isn't afraid of a little vulnerability.
Your voice matters. And I'd love for you to be part of this.
What does being a beta reader involve?
It's simple, really.
01. Read the book for free.
If selected, you'll receive a complimentary digital copy of Broken Open before its official release.
02. Tell me what you think.
What moved you? What resonated? What made you pause, question, laugh, or feel something unexpected? I'll send a short feedback questionnaire to make sharing your thoughts easy.
03. Help this story find its people.
When the book is published, I'd be incredibly grateful if you'd consider leaving an honest review on Amazon or Goodreads. Reviews help stories like mine reach the people who might need them most. Reviews are completely optional and are not required in exchange for your free copy.
A little about the book
What if choosing yourself changes everything?
Broken Open is a memoir about the lives we inherit, the identities we outgrow, and what happens when the quiet voice inside us becomes impossible to ignore.
It's about coming out at forty. Loving outside the lines. Navigating motherhood, marriage, grief, desire, and reinvention. It's about dismantling everything you thought you knew about yourself and discovering that sometimes falling apart is how we finally become whole.
You don't have to be queer, polyamorous, or standing at a crossroads to find yourself in these pages.
You just have to have wondered, at least once:
Is this the life I chose, or the life I was taught to want?
