12 TRAVELLING READER COPIES IN CIRCULATION
The signal is travelling.
Before publication, KODEANDKISS is already moving from reader to reader. Twelve travelling reader copies — physical literary samples containing Chapters 0 through 3 — are making their way from hand to hand. Sometimes they leave behind more than a reading: they leave a trace.
The impressions published on this page are selected and approved before publication. They are not presented as a complete record of every response received.
THE FIRST SIGNAL
Twelve copies. Twelve paths.
You may already have seen one pass through someone's hands. Each travelling reader copy is a physical KODEANDKISS literary sample containing Chapter Zero and Chapters 1, 2 and 3.
It is not the full novel. It is a first doorway into the story: a small set of printed pages entrusted to one reader, then another, following real encounters and recommendations.
The object itself is deliberately simple: printed pages gathered inside a clear document sleeve. Its value is not in elaborate packaging. It is in the fact that it moves.
- 12 copies in circulation
- Chapters 0–3
- Passed from hand to hand
- French and English editions
They do not follow a public map. They follow readers.
