Recruit advance readers for launch reviews
An ARC team is a group of readers who receive an advance copy of your book in exchange for an honest review posted at launch. Starting with a handful of reviews on day one changes everything downstream. Describe your book and get an invitation to recruit your team.
What is an ARC team?
An ARC team, from advance reader copy, is a group of readers who receive your finished book before release in exchange for an honest review posted at or just after launch. Having even a handful of genuine reviews on day one gives new browsers the social proof they need to buy, and it helps trigger early-sales momentum.
How do I build an ARC team?
Start with your mailing list and social followers, since they already like your work, then grow through genre reader groups and ARC-organising communities. Ask for honest reviews only, never positive ones, which keeps you within retailer rules. A team of even twenty engaged readers can seed a launch with the reviews that make later buyers comfortable.
What are the rules about ARC reviews?
You may give readers a free copy and ask for an honest review, but you cannot require a positive one, pay for reviews, or trade them. Reviewers who received a free copy should ideally disclose it. Following these rules protects your reviews from removal and keeps your account in good standing.
