BETA News

Want to know what’s happening with the bookSCREAM.com author BETA program? You’ve come to the right place. In an effort to provide a transparent environment, we’re sharing all available data on recent updates to backend and frontend technology right here on this page. So even when nothing seems to be changing on the surface, you can stay in the loop about how we’re bettering our service at its very core.

Below, you’ll find a list of recent updates and refinements. Please keep in mind that much of our service operates on proprietary software and algorithms, so we’ll be unable to address any questions or comments about the information you find here. What you see is what you get!
