Advance reader copies

Apply to read The Wolf That Chews Rocks before publication

The Wolf That Chews Rocks will be published in September 2026. I’m looking for a limited number of advance readers from among my Bluesky followers who enjoy funny nonfiction, popular science, dogs, or ideally all three.

Selected readers will receive the book as both a PDF and an ebook file before publication. In return, I’m asking readers to finish the book before launch and, where possible, leave an honest review and help spread the word around publication.

There is no obligation to leave a positive review. Applying does not guarantee selection, and factors such as suitability for the book, reviewing activity and potential audience reach may all be taken into account.

Before you apply

The ARC may contain small errors or details that will be corrected before publication. It must not be copied, shared, uploaded or distributed.

Please apply only if the book genuinely sounds like something you would enjoy and you expect to have time to read it before publication.

Please enter your full Bluesky handle.
A rough current figure is fine.
Where do you usually post book reviews?

Select all that apply.

This is optional, but it helps me understand where you usually discuss books.
What interests you about the book?

Select all that apply.

A few sentences is plenty.
Can you read the book before publication?
