A clear path for everyone

From first hello to the next great read.

Ray Readers is designed to make book discovery welcoming, transparent, and community-minded. Here is how participation works.

📖

1. Readers register

Readers share their name, email, and favourite genres so the community team can understand their interests and contact them about relevant activities.

  • Choose genres you genuinely enjoy
  • Watch for community announcements
  • Take part voluntarily

2. Authors submit a book

Authors provide accurate details about their work. The community team can review the submission and communicate about possible participation.

  • Use a clear title and description
  • Provide a cover you have permission to share
  • Wait for confirmation before assuming selection

3. Voting rounds are announced

When a round is officially open, the team shares the nominated books, the voting window, and the rules. Only use the designated voting method for that round.

  • Check the announcement for deadlines
  • Follow the posted voting rules
  • Do not assume a round is live unless announced

4. Feedback is shared thoughtfully

After reading, members may share honest, respectful feedback. Participation should never require a positive opinion, and authors should not pressure readers for favourable responses.

  • Be specific and considerate
  • Respect different opinions
  • Never claim to have read a book you haven't read

What Ray Readers is — and isn't.

We aim to be

A friendly discovery space where readers can explore books, authors can introduce their work, and feedback is shared honestly.

We do not promise

Guaranteed votes, reviews, sales, rankings, publishing deals, or favourable feedback. A community response is never guaranteed.
