Questions at the checkout.

Can a questionnaire find my author?

It narrows the choice to three names and shows you why. Whether one fits, you’ll notice when you start reading.

How well information about a person predicts their reading preferences is only partly researched. That is why each name comes with its reasoning.

Why pay for a recommendation?

No publisher pays for a spot on your card. There is no buy link and no commission.

Do I get book titles or just names?

Both. For each name a first book, with length and year of publication.

Is this a personalized book recommendation quiz, or what if I need a book to read now?

It works like a quiz, but nothing is ranked by sales. You answer what holds you in a book, and three names come back, each with the title to start with. If you need a personalized book recommendation rather than a list, that is the difference.

What happens to my answers?

They are stored with your order so your card appears on any device via the link in your email. No resale, no advertising.

What if none of the three names fits?

Each name shows which answer brought it up. Use that to search further in a targeted way.

Is this a personality test?

It asks about your reading habits and what a book should leave you with. Type models are not used, because there is no evidence they predict reading preferences.

Your next book starts with 18 questions.
