For authors

Find your first 100
genuine readers.

First100Readers helps you build your launch team — real, vetted readers who read, review, and create the word-of-mouth every book needs to take off.

A launch team, not a lottery

Every reader is screened for genre fit and a real honest-review commitment before they can join your team.

Feedback you can trust

Real reads, real reviews — every manuscript is personally watermarked to the reader so you always know who read your book.

Momentum you can see

A live dashboard tracking claims, reviews, and ratings as your launch team grows around your book.

How it works

Three steps from manuscript to a launch team building momentum around your book.

Upload

Cover, manuscript, and your story — the pieces that make your book yours. Takes minutes, not days.

How funding your launch team works

You set the price

Choose a price per review between ₹40 and ₹200. Higher prices attract launch-team readers faster and lift your book in the library.

Readers earn half

A flat 50/50 split — the reader who reads your book and writes an honest review earns exactly half of what you set. Real money, paid to a real person.

You fund the slots

Top up your author wallet, allocate credits to open review slots, and watch them fill. Every rupee is tracked and visible on your dashboard.

We never pay for positive reviews — readers commit to honesty before they can join any launch team. You're funding real reading time, not stars.

Your first 100 readers are waiting.

Create your author account, upload your book, and start building the launch team that gets it into the world.
