Join My ARC Reader Team β Get My Book Before Anyone Else
If you love reading new releases before they hit the shelves, this one's for you.
I'm looking for ARC readers β also known as Advance Review Copy readers for my upcoming release, and I'd love for you to be part of my inner circle.Β
I have a Reader Club Facebook group if you'd like to join us, talking about all things books and behind the scenes publishing and writing.Β
What Is an ARC Reader?
An ARC reader receives a finished, fully edited copy of my ebook ahead of its official publication date, completely free of charge.Β
Unlike beta readers, who work with a raw manuscript, you're reading the polished, publication-ready version. Your role isn't to critique the story structure; it's to read, enjoy, and leave an honest review as close to the launch date as possible.
Those early reviews are pure gold for an indie author. They build credibility, boost visibility on Amazon and Goodreads, and help new readers decide whether to take a chance on a book. In short. ARC readers help launch a book into the world.
What I Ask of You
- Read the full ARC within the agreed timeframe, usually one week.Β
- Post an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads on or around the release date. Honest being the key word, positive reviews are wonderful but your genuine opinion is what matters most.
- You're also welcome to share my book cover and release on your own social media, though this is entirely optional and always appreciated.
What You Get in Return
- A free advance copy of the book in your preferred ebook format (epub or mobi)
- The joy of being first β bragging rights included π
- My genuine gratitude, and a shout-out to my ARC team in the book's Acknowledgements.
Who Makes a Great ARC Reader?
The ideal ARC reader is someone who loves the Crime Thriller Suspense Mystery Psychological Conspiracy type genres.
Who reads regularly, and is comfortable leaving a review online. You don't need to be a literary critic β just an enthusiastic, honest reader with an opinion. If you've already read and enjoyed my work, even better.
Please note: ARC copies are provided for review purposes only and are not for sharing or sale.
