Another month. Another quiet revolution.

This April, something extraordinary unfolded at Muted Muses. We crossed 1,439 reviews, our highest count yet. But the real story isn’t just in the number. It’s in what that number represents.

These reviews were spread across 112 books. That means:

  • 112 authors felt acknowledged
  • 112 stories touched a reader’s heart
  • 112 voices found new life through connection

This is what Muted Muses was always meant to be. A place where words matter. Where feedback isn’t just transactional but transformational.

So what stood out this April?

A rise in generosity

Members reviewed books they had never heard of before, purely out of curiosity and kindness. That is the spirit we love to see.

A wave of new debuts

Over 40 of the books reviewed were from first-time authors. These fresh voices were welcomed, supported, and celebrated.

Stronger, deeper feedback

The reviews were thoughtful. They weren’t just star ratings. They included real reactions, insights, and encouragement. That kind of feedback changes everything for a writer.

Still waiting on your first review?

You are not behind. You are just at the beginning.
Every successful author on the platform started right where you are now.

Here’s what helped them grow:

  • They gave before asking
  • They reviewed with heart
  • They trusted the process

So check your points. Choose a book. Leave a meaningful review.
Not for a number. Not for a favor. But because stories grow when we water them together.

Looking ahead

In May, we will begin spotlighting top reviewers and hidden gems.
This is your time to show up, give generously, and get discovered.

To everyone who made April feel alive with energy and purpose — thank you.
Muted Muses is growing, and your story is part of that growth.

One review. One story. One spark at a time.
