Start with your Feedback Workspace

Beta reading, organized.

The first stop in the TourStak publishing journey. Distribute manuscripts to vetted beta readers, collect structured chapter-level feedback, surface patterns, and deliver editorial reports — then convert your room into a Launch Workspace when the book is ready.

For authors, editors, and developmental editors

Manuscript distribution

Send versioned manuscripts to approved beta readers with download tracking and optional Send-to-Kindle.

Structured feedback

Custom forms by chapter, scene, or theme. Editors define what to ask; readers respond consistently.

Pattern detection

Tag responses, surface insights across readers, and spot the issues that show up again and again.

Editorial reports

One-click reports for the author — synthesized feedback, by question, by tag, with reviewer comments.

Reader management

Invitations, reminders, completion tracking, and a clean handoff into your ARC team when the book is ready.

Reliability that travels

Every beta reader builds a verified history that follows them into ARC and launch teams.

Built around the journey, not the book.

From concept development and editing to launch campaigns and reader communities, TourStak helps authors, editors, publishers, and publishing professionals coordinate every stage of the publishing journey in one place.
