Direct answer
Share the private referral link from Steering Connect. When 3 different friends verify new BookWriter accounts and start their own included free Connect books, the original free book permanently expands from 50,000 to 100,000 accepted words.
Step by step
The reliable workflow
- 1
Open referral progress
Sign in and open the Steering Connect checklist to see the authoritative qualified count.
- 2
Share the private link
Use the normal device share sheet or copy the link. BookWriter never requests or uploads contacts.
- 3
Friends create free accounts
Each friend follows the link, verifies a new account, and receives their own 50,000-word free Connect book.
- 4
Friends start their projects
A referral qualifies only when that verified friend activates the included free Connect book.
- 5
Keep writing at 100,000 words
After the third qualification, the higher accepted-word ceiling is permanent on the original free book.
Why qualification matters
Sending a message is not enough. Qualification protects the free offer from self-referrals and empty signups while rewarding authors who introduce another real author to the product.
What each friend receives
Every qualified friend receives the same independent free offer: one persistent Connect book up to 50,000 accepted words with no BookWriter credit card.
What the reward changes
The reward changes only the accepted-word limit of the referrer's original free book, from 50,000 to 100,000. It does not create another active slot or publication allowance.
Privacy by design
The share button invokes the browser or phone operating system. BookWriter stores account-level referral attribution and qualification only—not names from an address book, phone numbers, or a contact list.
Paid-plan behavior
While a paid plan is active, the original book follows that plan’s higher capacity and counts as one active slot. If the paid plan ends, an earned 100,000-word referral limit remains permanent.
Frequently asked
Can I unlock the reward by sending three texts?
No. Three different referred authors must verify new accounts and start their included free Connect books.
Can one person count for multiple referrers?
No. A referred account can be attributed once, and self-referrals do not qualify.
Does BookWriter access my contacts?
No. Sharing uses the device share sheet or a copied link; BookWriter does not request contact access.
