I've only gotten feedback from a couple of people so far, but I am ADDICTED. It seems wild that some authors don't do this. I've already gotten such great feedback, confirming suspicions I had myself.

Feedback you can actually use — and more of it.

Your manuscript is presented to readers as a work-in-progress that wants and needs their help. Your readers are prompted to leave quick reactions — highlighting their favorite passages and flagging what’s useful, confusing, or slow.

This makes it easier to leave feedback. You’ll get helpful responses even from readers who are in a hurry — or scared of hurting your feelings.

Find out what readers are too polite to tell you

Do you know where your readers become bored, start to skim, skip ahead, and abandon? You ought to! Do you know which section is most useful? Most confusing? Most entertaining?

Find out before you publish. Help This Book collects reader reactions and shows you how your readers are experiencing your book so you can find and fix the issues causing reader drop-off.

With better data, you can spot the next book-killing issue and direct your editing where it matters most.
