Half the fun of reading is getting to gab about the omg moments with your besties.

The only thing that makes it better is when you make new besties along the way.

An advanced copy of the book is released to reviewers, readers, bloggers, and influencers prior to its widespread publication. In exchange for an honest review, you will receive a complimentary digital copy of the book. ARC readers are vital to indie authors. Help support your favorite authors by generating buzz about the upcoming release!

What is an arc?

Get an Advance Reading Copy

Beta Readers get access to the book before ARC readers. They will be reading the book while it is still undergoing developmental editing, meaning they will be able to provide feedback regarding overall enjoyment, characters, pacing, and plot. They are fundamental to the big picture and identify potential issues before wider access is given to ARC readers.
