What is an ARC reader?
An ARC (Advance Review Copy) reader is a book enthusiast who volunteers to read pre-release editions of books before they are officially published.
In the publishing industry, ARC readers play a vital role. By reading early copies, they provide critical feedback to the author, catch remaining typos, and help build launch-day social proof.
In exchange for their valuable and honest reviews, ARC readers receive free digital copies of books, establishing a direct connection and mutual support system with authors.
