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.

Better matching

Browse by genre, reading style, experience, availability, and project needs instead of hoping the right person notices a post.

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.
