Beta access & feedback
Want to join the active beta?
Last Bookmark is in beta. Approved Early Access members can connect with real authors and beta readers instead of demo profiles, post or apply to projects, and use messages and Coffee Chats while helping test the platform before launch.
Request Early Access
Create an account or sign in, then select Request Early Access on your dashboard and choose what you’d like to test. We’ll review your request and notify you when access is approved.
Payments during beta
Payments are arranged directly between authors and beta readers. Last Bookmark does not process, hold, or guarantee payments during beta. Integrated payments are planned for launch.

Why Last Bookmark
Find the right people for your story.
Whether you’re an author searching for the right readers or a beta reader looking for your next project, Last Bookmark makes it easier to find each other, connect, and work together.
Clear project details
Authors can share expectations, word count, turnaround time, budget, and feedback needs before anyone commits.
Connect before committing
Coffee Chats help authors and beta readers ask questions, discuss fit, and feel comfortable before moving forward.
Trust that grows
Profiles, reviews, certifications, community guidelines, and future secure payments help create a more accountable experience.
Social media and online reading communities can help people connect. Last Bookmark is designed to give authors and beta readers a more structured way to work together.
