By submitting you’re only sending me what’s in this form — nothing else, no mailing-list tricks. Please upload only the part of the receipt needed to verify the preorder; crop out card numbers or other payment details. If the upload doesn’t work, email your receipt to Stevenjreads@gmail.com.

The fine print, short because there isn’t much

Any preorder counts, from any store, in any format, placed any time before November 2, 2026 at 11:59pm MT. One free year per order. If you preordered weeks ago, you’re in — just send the receipt.

Current paid subscribers: your free year is added to the end of whatever you’ve already paid for. You won’t lose a day, and thank you for carrying this thing from the start.
