Your Paper Quest is a book of the month subscription box that exclusively features books from self-published authors. Our aim is to help indie authors get more exposure whilst helping readers read a bit outside the box and discover some incredible authors in the process.
We send our boxes out in blocks at the end of the month, with the goal being that you receive them a few days later. Sometimes that means that if you subscribed on the 5th for example, you won’t receive the subscription box until the beginning of the following month. Don’t fret though, future you is going to be absolutely thrilled with your decision!
That’s a mystery! Our aim is to help indie authors from all genres and backgrounds, because of that we keep our ever-changing monthly themes a surprise. You won’t know until you receive and open your box! We do recognize that this could deter some who are nervous about receiving a genre or theme they dislike, but want to emphasize that we work diligently to include stories that are highly accessible to readers regardless of genre. Especially with two stories, highlighting two different perspectives of a specific theme to help broaden horizons too.
Each subscription comes with at least two self-published novels averaging 600 total pages of content, along with curated bookmarks and notes from the authors themselves. Each box also comes with an invitation to join our virtual book club where you’ll have a chance to meet other subscribers and ask questions for the authors prior to our interviews with them at the end of the month!
Our subscriptions cost $25 a month, not including shipping or tax.
Yes! We have recently added Bi-Monthly and Quarterly subscription boxes. Both still include two novels, but will be delivered to your door every other month and every third month, respectively.
Every one of our boxes comes with a printed newsletter that has a QR-code linking you to the virtual book club.
Right now, the best way to gift someone a box would to fill our the subscription details as normal, and then write us a note in the ‘Additional Comments’ section to let us know that this is a gift. Be sure to include their name and address details as well.
Subscription renewal dates vary based on which one you’re subscribed to. Monthly subscriptions renew on the 10th of each month, Bi-Monthly subscriptions renew on the 5th of every 2nd month, and Quarterly subscriptions renew on the 7th of every 3rd month.
Unfortunately we are unable to freeze subscriptions at the moment, but you can always cancel and simply resubscribe when you’re ready with no extra fees involved!
As of right now we do not sell individual boxes outside of our subscription.
