What bestselling authors have to say

I wanted to write and thank you for the whole PH experience…It was beyond cool! …a community of readers was really invested in the book... It was a surreal experience to watch readers have real-time positive reactions to my work;absolutely made all the hard work worth it instantly

Having the chance to 'live chat' with readers as they read your book is AWESOME! I'm blown away by the responses to #TheSecretKeepersDaughter - and learning so much from readers trying to figure out the secrets in the story! A truly wonderful experience @ThePigeonholeHQ

It's very exciting to see readers' comments about #SafeWithYou on @ThePigeonholeHQ. It's made me *very* conscious that crime & thriller readers Do Not Miss a Trick and I'm now desperately trying to tighten up the plotting and flow in my current work in progress. Thanks, Pigeons!

What self published authors have to say

My book #AMotherNeverLies is on @ThePigeonholeHQ at the moment with the 6/10 stave released today. And from the author POV, it is absolutely brilliant. Seeing readers instant reactions is like #gogglebox for books and I am LOVING it!
