Become a Library Guest

This isn't a book review

There's already a show for that.

The Verdict

What do you think about this book?

Free. Readers, live on Sunday.

Library Guest

What does this book open up about you?

Your own conversation. Permanent.

What a Library Guest conversation is

The book is the starting point, not the subject. You bring a book that matters to you, and we talk about your life through it.

If you wrote the book, we talk about why you wrote it and what it cost you. If you did not write it, we talk about what it changed — the decision it pushed you towards, the year it got you through, the thing it made you see.

It is not a review, and it is not an interview about the book itself.

Both kinds of guest are Library Guests. There are no categories and no separate application.

What you're actually getting

Two things, and they work differently.

Permanent Library presence

Your conversation and your page stay in the Lynn's Library archive — searchable by your name, your book and the conversation itself. This never expires.

Promotion

For 30 days from publication we actively circulate the conversation across the library, our own platforms and the book-community network. This is the part with a clock on it — and it is 30 days for every format.

Choose your format

Every format is Permanent Library Presence + a 30-Day Promotional Campaign. What differs is how you tell it — and, at the top, how far it travels.

Where your feature goes

Our network. Then theirs.

Your feature begins inside the Lynn’s Library ecosystem, then moves outward into independent reader communities through a documented distribution campaign.

150K+

Lynn’s Library Network

Your feature is published across our owned media ecosystem.

130K+

Reader Community Network

Additional membership across independent spaces dedicated to books, reading and discovery.

The Catalogue

The payment link is sent after acceptance. Acceptance is editorial and never purchased — you are chosen on your story, before any option is put in front of you.

Every Feature is permanent Library presence plus a 30-day promotional campaign. What rises with the price is how far it travels.

Who you are paying. Payments are taken by LYNN LIVING LLC — the company behind The Lynn Show and Lynn’s Library. That is the name that will appear on your card statement or receipt, so it will not look like a charge you don’t recognise.

Your book on Curated Reads for a full year. No conversation — the book alone.

Cover, description and your buy link
Appears on the Book Shelf and in the Reading Room
Your buy link sends readers straight to you — your site, your sale. Private Book Link included, free
No Reader Community Distribution — shelf presence, not a campaign
Rotates off automatically at the end of the year — nothing to cancel

The cheapest way in. The Features add the conversation, the 30-day campaign and the community distribution. Accepted first, paid after: a place on Curated Reads is still earned.

You don't pay for any of this now. Submit first. If you're accepted we'll write to you personally — what we'd recommend for your story and why — with a payment link. Not before.

Placements are purchased. Selection never is. You are accepted on your story, before any option is put in front of you. No payment changes whether you're on, and paid placements are disclosed on air.

Six questions. Then we read it and come back to you.

Your name Where you're from How would you like to be introduced?

Your name is enough. Add a role or a business only if you want it said.

Which book are you bringing? Book link *

Share a link where we can identify the book — Amazon, publisher, bookstore, author page, or another reliable book page.

Guest applications are reviewed. Selection is editorial. We’ll recommend the best fit — choosing a feature is not acceptance, and nothing is charged when you apply.

Optional review copy

If you have a digital copy you would like us to review before your appearance, you may upload it here. This is optional for readers.

What story does this book open up for you? What would you like this conversation to be about? Suggest a title for your conversation

You pick it. We'll tell you honestly if we think it doesn't fit.

Your email My book is for adults only. Explicit sex, or content meant for 18+. This never affects whether we accept you — it only marks the card. Your social handles

Where should we tag you during your campaign? List as many as you use. We tag you in every post about your conversation — without these we can only name you.

Join the Reading Room — get new books, Reading Room conversations, The Verdict and Lynn’s Library updates by email.

Optional, and separate from your application — applying doesn’t sign you up for email.

Keep Lynn’s Library on your device Watch The Verdict, follow the shelf, and see your own conversation once it's live. It installs like an app — no store, no account.

Separate from the boxes above — installing doesn't sign you up for email, and it has nothing to do with your application.

By applying, you agree to our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Publishing Terms. Applying costs nothing and commits you to nothing — if you’re accepted we’ll write to you with options and a payment link. Payment, cancellation & refunds.

Books we can’t take →

We read everything.

What happens next.

1 ONE

We read your submission and decide. That decision is made on your story alone.

2 TWO

If accepted, we tell you which format we think fits you best — and why.

3 THREE

A payment link follows, in a personal email. Take it or leave it — neither changes whether you're on.

Your story. One book. Your format.
