A note from our founder

Hi, I'm Olivia

My reading journey started on Wattpad — that's where I first fell in love with stories and discovered how magical it is to find a new author. Since then I've spent years lost in fantasy and romance, collecting special editions and building endless TBR piles.

But as a reader, I was frustrated. Year-long waiting lists. Books selling out in seconds. Special editions ending up with resellers before genuine readers ever had a chance. So I took a leap and started building the subscription I'd always been looking for myself.

Moon Tide is still in its early days, but my goal is simple: a community for readers who love collecting beautiful books as much as I do.
