Who qualifies for free author support?
Any writer who is stuck and needs a confidential first reply — unpublished, mid-career, or traditionally published. You do not have to be a client. You do not have to buy anything after we answer.
You don’t have to fight quietly. You don’t have to fight alone.
This program exists so authors can ask for support without shame or pressure—whether you’re unpublished, mid-career, or navigating something difficult behind the scenes.
Share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. A real person reviews requests and follows up when we can offer guidance or next steps.
If paid marketing or design is a better fit, we’ll say so honestly—there’s no obligation to buy anything to use this form.
Who this is for
This page is for people who write and are stuck: a manuscript that will not move, a listing that looks empty, a launch that already happened and did nothing, or a situation you do not want on a public form. You can use a pen name. You can send three sentences.
Free support is guidance, not a hidden sales funnel. If a paid Goodreads campaign, website, or publishing package is the right next step, we will say so and leave the choice with you. If the useful answer is “do not pay anyone yet,” we will say that too.
We will not sell fake reviews, promise a bestseller slot, or ask for payment to read the request. If you want a paid service after the reply, use the contact form or the page for that service.
FAQ
Any writer who is stuck and needs a confidential first reply — unpublished, mid-career, or traditionally published. You do not have to be a client. You do not have to buy anything after we answer.
Free means a real person reads the message and points you somewhere useful: a next step, a resource, or an honest “this is a paid service.” Campaigns, design, and production are paid. We will say which is which.
Yes. We treat the form like a private email. We do not publish your story, add you to a list, or share the note with anyone outside the people who reply.
Most notes get a human reply within a few business days. If the situation is urgent, say so in the first line and write hello@inkreachmedia.com as well.
