Hello author_seorynx,
          
          I hope you're doing well.
          
          I recently came across *I Was Never Yours* and wanted to reach out because the story genuinely caught my attention. The title alone carries a strong emotional weight, and it immediately stood out to me as the kind of story that explores complex relationships and meaningful character experiences.
          
          I run Hayes Literary, a platform dedicated to spotlighting independent authors and helping readers discover engaging stories across a variety of genres. Your work struck me as the kind of story that readers who appreciate emotionally driven storytelling would enjoy discovering.
          
          I'd love to potentially feature *I Was Never Yours* in an upcoming author spotlight or reader discovery piece. These features are designed to introduce readers to both the story and the creative voice behind it in a thoughtful and engaging way.
          
          If you have other works you'd especially like to highlight, I'd be happy to learn more about them as well.
          
          Should this be something you'd be interested in exploring, I'd be glad to share additional details. Feel free to send me a message at your convenience.
          
          Best regards,
          Hayes Literary

            To clarify, the initial feature review and consultation process is completely complimentary. This allows us to learn more about you, your story, and determine whether the feature is a good fit for both your work and our audience.
            
            A typical Hayes Literary feature focuses on introducing readers to both the story and the author behind it. Depending on the feature format, this may include:

            • Inclusion within our author discovery network and archives
            
            The first step is simply learning more about your work.
            
            When you have a moment, feel free to email me at:

            You can include:

            Hello,
            
            Thank you for asking.
            
            The feature process itself does not require any upfront payment or commitment.
            
            Our approach is simple: we first discuss your work, prepare the feature materials, and give you the opportunity to review everything before making any decisions. We believe authors should be able to see the value of a feature before considering any additional promotional or distribution options.
            
            If you decide you'd like expanded visibility beyond the standard feature, I can explain the available options and any associated costs in full detail beforehand. There is never any obligation to proceed.
            
            My goal is simply to help readers discover great stories and give authors a professional platform to share their work.
            
            If you'd like, I'd be happy to walk you through exactly what a feature includes.
