Your Paper Quest
​
Your Paper Quest is a UK and US based book of the month subscription box that exclusively features stories from self-published and independent authors. Depending on their subscription, subscribers receive a carefully curated selection of books based on a rotating theme, ensuring a diverse array of genres and stories, every one, two, or three months. Our goal is to better connect readers with emerging indie authors, offering an exclusive and personalised reading experience that includes notes from the authors, and an invitation to our virtual book club where subscribers can have discussions with each other and ask questions to the authors themselves.
​
For writers, we at Your Paper Quest work hard to provide an opportunity to reach a wider audience without any submission fees. Selected authors benefit from UK and US-wide distribution and the support of a passionate team committed to promoting self-published and independent stories.
​
We're so grateful to get to work with the Medway River Lit festival to further celebrate literature and champion self-published and indie authors. Join us in supporting the future classics of tomorrow by subscribing to Your Paper Quest and discovering hidden literary gems today.
