Read the story before the world does. Help shape what comes next.
Stories aren’t written in isolation—they’re forged in conversation.
We're opening a small circle of beta readers who want early access to works-in-progress and the chance to help shape them before publication.
As a beta reader, you’ll step inside the drafting process: reading chapters ahead of release, offering feedback, and helping fine-tune pacing, characters, and emotional impact.
This isn’t about grammar-policing or red-pen edits. It’s about instinct, honesty, and how the story lands—what lingers, what confuses, and what won’t let go.
If you love being part of the creative process and want a front-row seat to stories before they’re finished, we'd love to have you.
✨ Early access
✨ Influence the final version
✨ A voice in shaping the story
✨ Occasional behind-the-scenes notes from the author
Spots are limited. Not every project will be open to every reader—but every reader will matter.

At Pine Veil Press, we believe every story carries an echo. Our imprint is dedicated to fiction rooted in memory, shaped by emotion, and sometimes touched by mystery. We publish books that explore what lingers—between people, in places, and across time—and invite readers to step through the veil with us into something quietly unforgettable.
We follow a hybrid publishing model: authors invest in professional services upfront, while retaining their rights and royalties. This ensures every book meets the highest standards in editing, design, and distribution—without the compromises of traditional contracts or the pitfalls of vanity publishing. Our role is to act as both guide and craftsman: shaping each manuscript into a book that reflects the author’s vision, while carrying the Pine Veil seal of quality.
At Pine Veil Press, our authors are why we exist. Every manuscript represents years of imagination, vulnerability, and courage — and we honor that.
Their voices are the heartbeat of this imprint. Their trust shapes our standards. Their success defines ours.
Here’s what they have to say.
As a first time author, I truly did not know what I was doing or how to proceed. I was lucky to be told about Pine Veil Press by someone I know.
Once the relationship was established I found them easy to communicate with. Answering the questions I asked and the ones I did not know to ask. Their in-depth editing of my written story truly improved it.
Thank you is all I can say.
Publishing can feel overwhelming — formatting, distribution, platforms, metadata, marketing decisions — it’s a lot. Pine Veil Press made it feel manageable and even exciting.
They walked me through every step without ever talking down to me. Questions were answered quickly. Changes were handled professionally. And when I needed guidance, they gave honest feedback instead of empty reassurance.
What stood out most was how supported I felt after each launch. It wasn’t a “here’s your book, good luck” experience. They stayed engaged, helped interpret sales reports, continued marketing and celebrated milestones right alongside me.
There’s a difference between a service provider and a publishing partner. Pine Veil Press operates like the latter.
I’m grateful I found Pine Veil Press to publish my Embers series. Three books in, the experience has only gotten stronger. I’m already deep into my next project and couldn’t imagine navigating it without their support.
Working with Pine Veil Press felt less like hiring a publishing service and more like stepping into a partnership with people who genuinely care about story integrity.
From the beginning, they understood that my work isn’t just plot-driven — it’s layered, psychological, and structurally intentional. They didn’t try to “simplify” my vision. They strengthened it. Every edit felt purposeful. Every suggestion respected the architecture of the story while sharpening its emotional impact.
What impressed me most was the transparency. Clear communication. Clear timelines. Clear royalty reporting. No gray areas. In an industry where ambiguity is common, that kind of integrity stands out.
They handle the technical side of publishing with precision, but they never lose sight of the creative heart of the book. That balance is rare.
If you want a team that treats your manuscript like it matters — not just like a product — Pine Veil Press is it.
