5 ways to get Advance Reader Copies without a huge following...
Ever wonder how some readers always seem to have books before release day?
It's not luck.
It's also not about having a massive following, either.
It's called an ARC (Advance Reader Copy) and once you know how to get one, you'll never wait for release day the same way again.
Inside this free guide, I'm sharing the 5 methods I actually used to land my first ARC, and the ones I still use today.
Here's how it started for me...
A few years ago, I finished my first romantasy book in years and did what any reasonable person would do: I grabbed my best friend and said, "You have to read this." That conversation turned into us launching a joint Bookstagram and BookTok account together called Scribes Quadrant.
Once we were in that world, I kept seeing other bookfluencers with books that weren't out yet and I wanted in! So I started searching. It took some trial and error before I figured out the system, but my very first ARC request came from an ad I spotted on Instagram. When that physical copy showed up in my mailbox, I was so excited! Holding a book before it's even on shelves, knowing that you get to be a part of its launch? Well, there's nothing like it.
Now I want to hand you the shortcut I wish I'd had from day one.
This Free Guide Will Help You:
-
Understand exactly how the ARC system works: From why publishers give them out to what they actually expect from you in return
-
Find the right method for where you are right now, whether you have 50 followers or 5,000
-
Take your first real step toward landing an ARC instead of just wondering how everyone else is doing it
Inside you'll find 5 methods that actually work:
Giveaways: The no-follower-required starting point that most new reviewers overlook
Author & Publisher Newsletters: How to get ARC opportunities in your inbox before anyone else sees them
PR Lists: How to find and apply to publisher lists even as a beginner
ARC ads: Why searching for ARCs on Instagram was how I found my very first one
NetGalley: The platform that gives you direct access to ARCs from major publishers and indie authors alike
You don't have to figure all of this out the hard way like I did. It's all in one place in this guide, and it's free!
Hi, I'm Sierra!
I'm a reader, ARC reviewer and one half of Scribes Quadrant, a Bookstagram and BookTok account I run with my best friend. I share my favorite romantasy romance reads on YouTube as well as my blog, and I help readers who want to become reviewers figure out how to actually make that dream a reality.
I know what it's like to see everyone else with early copies and have no idea where to start. I spent weeks figuring out a process that works, and now I want to share it with you. Not just the how-to, but the tools and templates I use to keep my reviews organized so I can spend more time reading, and less time stressing over deadlines.
Whether you want your first ARC or you want to build real relationships with publishers, you're in the right place.
Your First ARC is Closer than You Think.
