ARC FAQ

What is an ARC?

An ARC is a pre-released copy of a book, given to a trusted reader prior to the book's release date, in exchange for a review.

Why are ARC Team Members important?

Reviews help potential readers to decide whether or not they might find the book enjoyable. The more reviews a book has on its release date, the more likely it is to reach readers.

As an independent author, I rely on my ARC Team to help me ensure my books have the best possible launch they can get! The honest reviews my ARC Team provides help other readers determine if my books are the right fit for them.

AGREEMENTS

By joining my ARC Team, you are agreeing to the following:

• Not to share your ARC with anyone else;
• To post your review on time, within the designated timeframe (about 2 weeks). If a deadline cannot be met, the author just asks that you communicate that upfront (we all understand that life happens sometimes, but communication is key);
• Not to share major spoilers in your review;
• Not to mention grammatical errors or formatting issues in your review. Errors found in the advanced reader copies will be fixed in the final, published version, and therefore do not need to be mentioned in the review. You can, however, email the author if you find any errors that you think needed to be addressed; and
• To allow the author to use your review, either in whole or in part, for promotional purposes, without compensation.
