the luminary programme

early access for readers who know their spec fic.

Some books deserve more than just a casual read – they need real readers who *get* them. The Luminary Programme is Mirari Press’s reviewer circle, made up of readers who love fantasy, sci-fi, speculative fiction, and the strange, brilliant stories that don’t fit the mold.

As a Luminary, you’ll get early access to our books before they hit the shelves. In return, you post thoughtful, honest reviews where they matter: Goodreads, Amazon, social media, and our website. That’s it. No gimmicks, no fluff – just you, the books, and your voice.

how it works

First Dibs: You get priority access to new releases and can pick what you want to review. No pressure to take every book.
Your Take Matters: Reviews must be written (not just star ratings) and posted within two months.
We’ll Make It Easy: You’ll get direct links to post your review and tags for social media.
No PR Boxes, Just Books: This isn’t a freebie club. It’s a real review programme. Twice a year, we’ll send a little thank-you, but what you’re here for is the books.
