Advance Reader Copies, or ARCs, are an exciting way to read books that have not been published yet. Having access to an ARC is as fun as it is a responsibility.

ARCs are also a great way to discover new authors and/or genres. Authors and publishers alike rely on timely and honest feedback from ARC readers.

Signing up or requesting a book is not a guarantee that you’ll receive it. So be kind and keep trying if you get “rejected.” I promise you’ll eventually receive a copy or two!
