Honestly? I’m bribing you—with books 😄
I’m running this giveaway to invite readers to join my newsletter and—if they want— become beta readers to read my new book, Amazing New York! before I launch it and announce it to the rest of the world.
What’s a beta reader?
It simply means getting early access to the book and sharing feedback to me about what you enjoyed, what surprised you, or what could be clearer.
And if beta reading isn’t your thing, that’s completely fine. You can still join the newsletter to be the first to know when the book officially launches, get behind-the-scenes updates, and hear about future giveaways and fun New York facts.
Who Am I Anyway?
I’m Marianne Jennings, a best-selling and award-winning author of eight fun fact books, covering everything from Canada and Alaska to astronauts and quirky careers. I write curiosity-fuelled books designed to help readers of all ages learn something new—and have fun doing it.
You still might “win” by getting a **free copy of Amazing New York! ** as a beta reader.
And I win by getting honest feedback—what you loved, what you learned, and what could be better.
If it’s not for you? No worries. You can unsubscribe at any time.
I don’t sell emails. I don’t spam. I just write fun fact books for curious people.
