My bookish lovelies,
We are in the final sprint for Roots & Wrath’s release into the world. I’m asking for your help to give it is very best launch, and if we reach it, all Monstrosity subscribers (that’s you) will get some exclusive bonsues!
Roots & Wrath officially releases on September 22. The response so far has completely blown me away—Editor’s Pick from Publishers Weekly Booklife, incredible reviews and blurbs, over 1100 advance reader downloads on NetGalley, and over 80 reviews on Goodreads already. Best of all, with your support, we already have over 300 pre-orders locked in, and it’s already popping into Amazon category Top New Release rankings.
I’m stunned. I’m so grateful. And I’m hungry.
The way these retail sites work, particularly Amazon, every pre-order teaches the algorithm that this is a book readers want to see. Because of these early promising signs (don’t jinx it!), I want to do everything possible to help feed these algorithms those signs to keep it in the recommendation engines!
I want to cross a massive milestone before August is over: 500 pre-orders. That’s 187 more pre-orders in the next 19 days.
To make this happen, I want to turn this into a community goal. If we hit 500 pre-orders by August 31, I will instantly unlock a digital bonus package for every single subscriber on this list.
What We Unlock at 500 Pre-Orders:
An additional exclusive cut scene that isn’t in the pre-order rewards kit
Early, digital versions of two worldbuilding posters in the rewards kit
A digital Q&A session about the book before launch for subscribers only
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line:
Go ahead and pre-order! If you haven’t done it yet, now’s the perfect time to pre-order for yourself. Or your bestie. Or your book club. Or your mom.
Submit Your Proof for Extra Perks: If you pre-order before August 31, fill out this quick form [Link to Google Form]. [Optional: The first 50 people to submit proof will get a signed, custom adhesive bookplate mailed directly to their door!]
Already pre-ordered? You boss witch, you. Tell your friends in person and online!
“If you love dark academia, buried secrets, and feminist horror, you need to pre-order Roots & Wrath before Aug 31! The author is running a massive community milestone unlock right now: ejwenstrom.com
I will be posting weekly progress bars right here on Substack Notes so we can watch the numbers climb together. Let’s show that algorithm who’s boss (you, the readers!).
THANK YOU!!!
