Get Paid to Read!
Are you a regular reader? We’re a research team studying books, looking for readers who will read a (free!) published novel and then take a comprehensive survey afterwards (and earn $15), telling us in detail what the story was like for you. The goal of this project is to learn more about story structure, and to help develop new ways for publishers to promote and support books by underrepresented authors. Interested in signing up? Click the below link and share a few details about yourself for a chance to participate in our book study!
