Build Your Own Reading Community
Although writing can be a solitary pursuit, finding readers who genuinely engage with your writing, building an audience before your book is finished, and connecting with a community are all about connecting with your future readers.
Readers on a social network are hard to find in one place.
I Turn Pages is that place.
Essentially, you add your posts and let the site do the work for you. We have brilliant authors in our midst with enormous commitment to their writing, but ongoing book promotion can be challenging.
That's where I Turn Pages can help to create a long-term, consistent flow of getting your books discovered by new readers. As we add readers, they find your author community and your books.
Get Your Book Discovered
There are stacks of unlimited book promotion activities (groups, posts, images, cross-promotions), always at zero cost, and we’d love you to take advantage of these book promotion activities.

Tap Into Our Reading Community
We already have 39,631 active readers in our community, and we're inviting thousands more readers between now and the end of 2026. That is 39,631 readers already looking for their next favourite author. Because our community displays active, fully profiled authors, getting established right now ensures you capture the attention of these hungry readers the moment they log in.
Over the next year, we'll be promoting the site heavily each month. We are spending over £25,000 on advertising in major publications to bring new readers to your author community, so they can connect with you and your books. We start in two weeks' time with the first global advertising campaign, again in September with a cross-promotion book giveaway, and more adverts every month.
This gives you time to post your content and start building your own community. Getting established now means you will be there to meet the new readers.
If you know of any great reader audience advertising, let us know and we'll include them in our advertising outreach.

Advanced Review System to Ensure Books Are Discovered
We have taken time to build an advanced review system built for books. We studied what power reviewers actually want — and what Goodreads and others are not delivering.
We’ve turned reviews into a powerful discovery engine. How?
Our review system makes it easier for readers to articulate why they loved your book, which adds more discovery fields to help your book titles surface to new readers.
Our review system makes it easier for readers to articulate why they loved your book, adding unique meta-data fields that actively surface your titles to entirely new organic audiences.
Here's how you benefit from this:
- We encourage readers to find you and your genre on our all author's page and follow you. Ensure you have an image or avatar and a profile bio; otherwise, you will not show on this page for readers to find you.
- Check the reviewers on our homepage's top reviewers section. You can connect directly with them to ask them to review your book.
- Build your tribe on I Turn Pages. Readers and fellow writers are here waiting.

Book Your Inclusion
The following activities have limited availability, so don't delay in booking your slot to be visible for our first reader advertising campaign.
- Genre Ambassador: One published author per genre, chosen by the community team. Ambassadors play a visible role in shaping their genre on the platform.
- Launch your own events: The ideal way to grow your community of future readers is with book events, which includes everything from finding beta readers to giving away sample chapters. Host writing sessions, Q&As, and community events - all to build your following and find new reader subscribers. The best part is you get to keep your enrolled readers with a downloaded CSV, email them from the site to give them updates, and much more to build your reader subscribers.
- Apply to have your book featured in our Book of the Month giveaway. We are giving away a book every month for the entire first year — at no cost to you, and with full visibility to our growing reader base.
- Launch cross-promotion spots: In September, after all the global holidays are over and everyone is back to normal daily life, we are running a launch book promotion with a huge advertising spend to bring new readers to the platform. If you'd like to include your book, please apply to join. There is no cost. You only need to commit to sharing the launch promotion link with your newsletter reader subscribers.
- Yearly and long-term book promotion: There is limited availability on our 3 and 6 year book promotion launch packages for authors who want sustained visibility as our I Turn Pages community grows. Slots are limited per genre. There is no limit on the yearly book promotion packages.
- Five-Page Fridays: Each week, share your opening five-pages with our community readers, and really hook them with your Book Bible. When the Friday slots are filled, there won't be any more available until this time next year. We invite real reader feedback in a structured, supportive format. It is the closest thing to a table read for your book — and the responses will tell you more than any writing group ever could.
- Author Spotlights: A permanent editorial feature on I Turn Pages, written about you and your book, and promoted to an audience of genre readers actively looking for their next read.
- Each month, we encourage readers to join a reading challenge. Our first few challenges will be to read and review books included in our ARC events. Get your book event posted, so it's included.
- Yearly Book Promo Packages and Book Events.
We will promote I Turn Pages to readers to showcase our author communities, your books, and encouraging readers to add reviews. There will be regular engagement lucky draws for readers, and vouchers to win. What's not to love?
As we said, the site is automated to do your book promotion work for you. But you have to engage with readers by adding posts, images, news, and anything that you normally do on social media, except here you are sharing directly to an audience who love books.
Find and Connect With Readers
Authors who get their books listed and their community established now will be the ones readers discover first. We would love for you to be among them.
The readers are coming. The only question is whether they will find you. Head to our Join or Login to get started. If you have questions, please explore the guidelines for authors.
We are still refining some areas, such as the albums and group cross-promotions, and they will be live within the next week.
We hope to welcome you to I Turn Pages and see you growing your own reading community!
