The Favour
Beta Reader Edition
Invite Only — Enter Your Code
The Favour is shared privately with invited beta readers. Enter the six-character invite code from your invitation and the email address it was sent to. Your download is logged against that address.
Read It or Listen To It
You can read The Favour conventionally on your computer, tablet or other compatible device. Alternatively, because the manuscript is supplied as a Microsoft Word document, you can use Microsoft Word's Read Aloud feature to have the manuscript read to you.
This can be useful if you would prefer to listen while travelling, driving or doing something else. Please remember that Word's Read Aloud function uses a computer-generated voice, so it will not sound like a professionally produced audiobook and pronunciation or delivery may occasionally be imperfect.
