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.
Every edition is a book I genuinely love — sometimes a favourite you already know, sometimes a brilliant new author I can't wait for you to discover — reimagined with a redesigned cover, foil detailing, unique endpapers and sprayed edges.
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.
I'm so excited to share the journey with you — the lessons, the chaos, and hopefully lots of beautiful books along the way.
Story first
Every title is one I genuinely love.
Discovery
New authors and worlds to fall into.

Made for readers, not resellers.
The name
The moon's pull on the tide
Our logo — a crescent moon above rolling waves — symbolises the journey between reader and story. The moon pulls the tide; a great story pulls you in.
Our promise
Collecting should feel inclusive, not exclusive
We're collectors too — and we know the frustration of years-long waiting lists and inflated resale prices. At Moon Tide, the exclusivity lives in the books, not in who gets through the door.
Regular intakes
New places roughly every three months.
Transparent
Clear dates, prices and production updates.
Fair to readers
Overstock sold on our own site at a fair price.
Community first
A space to share reveals, shelves and reviews.
