The ARC Platform for Authors & Readers
Everything you need to know about Advance Review Copies, why they are essential for book launches, and how ARC Reader Hub keeps this vital resource accessible to everyone.
What is an ARC platform?
An ARC (Advance Review Copy) platform is a dedicated service that helps authors and publishers distribute pre-release versions of their books to selected readers, known as ARC reviewers.
Instead of manually emailing PDF files, which is insecure and time-consuming, an ARC platform automates the process of showcasing books, managing reviewer lists, distributing digital manuscripts securely, and collecting reviews.
It serves as a bridge, making it simple for readers to discover new books in exchange for providing honest reviews on retail and community sites like Amazon, Goodreads, and BookBub around the book's release date.
