Hello Storytelling Heroes!
After 7 months of building, I’m beyond excited to share that Reader Meter is officially live! 🎉
Reader Meter helps you pinpoint exactly when readers stop turning the page on your stories, so you can write better stories and sell more books. Perfect for beta reading, testing new editions, or launching your next book with confidence.
I went from publishing 12 books as a teen and wasting thousands on ads to working on the data team for MrBeast (the world’s most watched creator), where I learned the simple truth: success in storytelling comes from knowing exactly where audiences drop off.
I built Reader Meter to finally give authors that power.
Because you’re part of this community, you’re getting early access with a special launch discount:
Use code BETA at checkout to get 50% off lifetime access (just $99).
This “founding members” discount ends September 21st, after that, lifetime access returns to $199.
Reader Meter is in open beta, so yes, there may be some bugs, but you’ll be the first to explore all the powerful features we’ve packed in.
Psstt… there’s a 30-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you aren’t happy with Reader Meter, email us within 30 days after purchase and I’ll be happy to give you a full refund, no hard feelings 💙.
Here’s how to use Reader Meter…
Step 1: Publish your pre-release story – Share your manuscript with readers before you publish. Upload it in minutes, perfect for beta readers, ARCs, or early feedback rounds.
Step 2: Select readers for your story – Keep it private for trusted readers or make it public for discovery. Ideal for beta teams, street teams, or reaching new audiences.
Step 3: Measure reader engagement – See where readers drop off, which chapters keep them hooked, and how long they spend reading. Get the data that turns good stories into page-turners.
Step 4: Improve your story 🎉 – Use reader insights to polish your manuscript before launch. Fix slow parts, strengthen hooks, and earn more 5-star reviews.
This, in and of itself, would make Reader Meter a very useful tool for authors, but I couldn’t stop there!
Here are some extras that will be waiting inside Reader Meter for you right at launch:
Sell direct to readers and keep 100% of your earnings after processing fees (we handle Sales Tax + VAT).
Manage multiple pen names in one account.
Create or join bundles with other authors to grow your readership and get more data to improve your stories.
AB test covers and descriptions before launching your story widely.
…And much more.
If you’re as excited about this as I am, you can join Reader Meter right HERE (remember to use code BETA before Sept 21).
I’ll be at NINC in Florida this week, so if you’re there, I’d love to say hi! If not, I’ll share my takeaways with you all next week.
In the meantime, I’ll be sharing even more about how to make the most of Reader Meter in the coming days. In the meantime, don’t forget to join Reader Meter with code BETA before Midnight on September 21st to claim your 50% off discount.
Thanks for being part of this journey. This is just the beginning of Reader Meter and a ton of helpful tools I plan to build for authors 😁. This is the best community in the world (that’s you all!).
I'll be back soon. And as always…
Storytellers Rule the World,
