Every book has its readers. We help them find each other.
Verve Reads is the company behind Book Club Connection, Prolific Works, and Heybeta: three websites that connect readers with free books they'll love, and help authors get their books into the right hands at every stage of the journey.
One company, every step of a book's journey.
From the beta round, to discovery, to the perfect match: each of our websites carries a book one step closer to the readers who'll love it.

The next chapter of a story we started in 2017.
Verve Reads began as Book+Main, the first trope and subgenre search engine for romance, later known as Verve Romance. That matching obsession never left. Verve Romance has passed the torch, Prolific Works and Heybeta carry the mission for discovery and feedback, and Book Club Connection now delivers what we always promised: the right book in the right reader's hands, free.
