Hi Justina,


Thank you for offering your help to authors!
I recently published a romantic literary book titled Illusions Have Wings.
I’d love to share a digital copy with you if you’re open to providing honest beta feedback voluntarily — no pressure at all.

Hi Justina,
I have a sweet cozy romance that I would love to get your feedback on. I am always looking for ways to improve my craft as a storyteller, so I welcome any comments or critiques you may offer.
The book is called Her Stolen Valentine and 36k words. I have a digital ARC copy ready if you are interested and available.
Thank you so much for your time :)

Hi Justina, do you read steamy achy romance?

Think in between Daisy Haites and Ana Huang world.

My debut novel is an obsessive slow-burn romance — magnetic MMC, married heroine, one-floor-apart tension, elevator moments, neon-noir energy, and yes… he’s the kind of man you’ll probably lose sleep over.

I’ve just put the first 3 chapters online (150k-word book) and I’m building a small ARC team of girlies who live for intense, character-driven obsession. If you are interested just let me know I can put you on the ARC team.

👉 You can download the 3 chapters on my website: https://christinamach.com/ 🎀


IF I TORE MYSELF OPEN, WOULD THE BLOOD RUN IN HIS NAME? WOULD THE WOUND GLOW WITH ALL THE NIGHTS I SPENT WANTING HIM?
WE WERE NEVER STRANGERS AFTER ALL. WE WERE INEVITABLE.

Hi Justina! I really value your focus on pacing and character connection. I’m a debut author and I’d love to get your perspective on my children's book, 'One of a Kind Creatures'.

Even though it's a shorter read, I’ve put a lot of heart into the character arcs of these 3 unique animals. I’d love to know how you find the 'reader experience' and the emotional flow of the story. It’s currently FREE on Amazon until Jan 31st: [Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDZ1PWKK]. Your constructive feedback would be a huge help!

Hi Justina!

I saw your post looking for ARCs. I have a psychological thriller/literary fiction retelling of Homer's Odyssey that might interest you.

It's NOT romance or action thriller – it's more in the vein of Madeline Miller (Circe/Song of Achilles) meets Ken Follett, with a mystery/psychological layer woven through the myth.

Think: moral choices, character-driven suspense, mythology reimagined.

If that sounds like your kind of read, I'd love to send you a copy! If not, no worries at all.

Best,
Leon G. Collin

Hi Justina! Just realized I forgot to include my email in my previous message — if you're still interested in ODYSSEUS, reach me at info@leongcollin.com and I'll send the epub right away. I'm primarily looking for an honest Amazon/Goodreads review, though any feedback is always welcome too!
