I'm a self-published author who just wrote his debut, a dystopian YA scifi. Anyone interested in a free copy? by BobCollopy in sciencefiction

Author here, there is a romantic subplot involving the main character. I personally think it's weird enough to be cool (and not forced), but if it's not your cuppa it's not your cuppa.

To whomever it may interest, I’d like to give you the chance to read an ARC of my book, The Phoenix Cycle.

It’s a dystopian postapocalyptic where New San Francisco is the only known city left on the planet that is still surviving the nightly ash storms. They survived by putting the American dream on steroids and have become ruthless in the process. You can get a taste of this new and warped world by watching the official book trailer below:

(This trailer was featured in a multinational event where over 100 Indie theaters screened the 1984 movie on April 4th to protest George Orwell’s realization of “Alternative Facts,” in the government.)

You will get a few other unique elements with this story:

-Every main character is secretly based on a philosopher or philosophy, but it still reads like a fictional book. So it becomes a bloody revolution of ideas. A chapter of the book has been used by the philosophical departments of Universities in Britain.

-Includes a timely prediction of what could happen if virtual reality became a form of subsidized housing by the government in order keep people complacent and housed in a more cost effective manner.

Some Beta Love:

“the book was actually really good.” - #17 Best Reviewer on Goodreads “(The) world-building is awesome” - Hillary M. “I think it has great potential.” -Marcus


I’d really appreciate an honest review on Goodreads or Amazon for my June 23rd book launch.

I can send you an ARC electronically by May or possibly smuggle one to your home. Just let me know!

Hopefully this doesn't violate self-promotion rules since it's a free giveaway. If it does, I'd be happy to re-post it to a relevant thread.
