ARC Team
Would you like to read my books before they appear on Amazon?
In that case, I’d like to invite you to my ARC team. On an off chance you’re not familiar with the term, ARC stands for Advance Reading Copy, a book shared with a few chosen people before its official publication.
It is incredibly important to get reviews on new books as soon as they launch. I’m sure you’ve made decisions on whether to buy this or that product based on their reviews—I know I have. Besides helping potential readers decide to give an unknown writer a chance, reviews also drive early sales, turning Amazon from a soulless spectator into a friend that helps with the book's marketing. And, of course, no one can help with Amazon marketing better than Amazon itself.
I have a small group of fans as my ARC team members. They receive the advanced copy of the book and are the first to see the finished cover. In some cases, they can also contribute suggestions after I receive the designer's first draft. All you’d have to do is read the book (which I hope was your idea in the first place) and fire off a quick, honest review on the day of publication. That’s it.
Some readers have identified a few errors that I've corrected, and others have provided suggestions for the storyline, which I’ve incorporated. And, I hope, most of them enjoyed the stories.
If you’re interested, sign up for the newsletter and simply reply to the welcome email. Yes, I read them all.
