ARC team

Read the next book before it is out, for free, in exchange for an honest review when it releases. That is the whole deal.

Every release opens to a limited number of readers, so joining the list does not guarantee a copy of every book. It guarantees you hear first. Readers who post their reviews on time get first pick of the next one, and the early copies of the big books.

How it works

  1. Join the list. That's the form on this page. You'll get a welcome email that explains the rest.
  2. When a book is ready, I email the list. The email has a link to the ARC on BookSprout. Spots are capped, so the quickest readers get in.
  3. Claim your copy there and read it. BookSprout delivers the file and keeps track of the deadline for you.
  4. Post your review when the book is out. BookSprout notices, so readers who show up get first pick next time.

What I ask

  • Review within two weeks of release, on Amazon and on Goodreads if you use it.
  • Honest reviews only. Three stars with a reason helps me more than five stars with nothing.
  • Don't share the file. Every copy is watermarked to the reader it went to.
  • Miss a deadline and you sit out the next one. Show up every time and you get first pick.

Want to do more than review? There's a street team too.
