#Arc Reader

Things I don’t feel guilty about as an ARC reader: 1️⃣ Saying no to ARCs� This one's hard but...If I can’t give a book the time and attention it deserves, the answer should be no. 2️⃣ DNF’ing an ARC� It's rare but sometimes necessary. But I still give an honest helpful review. There's already too much negativity in the world. 💕 3️⃣ Leaving an honest review� Everyone's taste is different. My five starts might not be yours. I rather an honest, balanced review and an overview of the book to help readers decide for themselves. 4️⃣ Taking my time to review� I like to take my time and think it over. I need time to digest the story and come up with the best way to inform on the story. It shouldn't be a tick box process. 5️⃣ Protecting my reading boundaries� Not reading outside my genre, not overloading my schedule, and not burning out just to look “grateful.” (Need to listen to my own advice here sometimes 😜) 🔖arc reader, book review, advanced reader copy, bookstagram #arc #arcreader #bookreview

Sometimes silence means you didn’t score an ARC of the book you really wanted… but sometimes silence is not a no! I got both of these final copies sent to me by the publisher months after I emailed and asked for a physical ARC! Pro tip: leave your mailing address in your inquiry email and the publishing fairies might have a surprise for you! If you have any questions about emailing publishers for ARCs let me know! I’d be happy to answer and can even make more videos about it. #arcreader #bookstagram #bookreviewer #fantasybooks #advancedreadercopy

Here to share a lil reminder to review 👏 your 👏 ARCs 👏 If you’re requesting an advance copy from a publisher, don’t forget they have a purpose! That purpose if for the book to get a review before, on or around publication. As pretty as they are (I love having ARCs in my collection too) you’re not helping the author or publisher if you request it just because it feels special… and then never read it! We all fall behind with reviews sometimes, life happens! But something that helps me stay on track is adding all of my ARCs to ticky boxes in my notes app in order of release. It acts like a great lil TBR and I know which I need to prioritise! #books #bookish #fantasy #arcs #reader #yafantasy

Which one is your favorite? . I can’t believe there are FOUR different Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) of ARCANA ACADEMY. This book has been a dream of mine to write for years and it finally felt like the right place, right time, to write it. I mostly waited because I knew I wanted to write a magic system based on tarot, a world full of complexities, but at its heart is a love story of two star crossed enemies-to-lovers… and I wanted to grow as an author before tackling it. But I’m so proud of how it came out and I hope you’ll give it a chance! . ARCANA ACADEMY is out July 22, 2025. Preorder link is in my bio! . . #bookstagram #booktok #fantasyromance #enemiestolovers #elisekova #arcanaacademy #advancedreaderscopy #tarot #darkacademia

How to get physical arcs! But also e-arcs! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ I forgot to mention in the video but most importantly you should have a review platform (booksta,booktok,booktube,blog)!! This incentivizes publishers when giving an arc out that you are likely to generate buzz around an upcoming release! 1. Email the publisher!! Somethings to include - introduce yourself and your bookish socials where you review books, the title you are asking for, how much an anticipated read it is for you , but also your address for shipping! 2. Sign up for publisher influencer/arc programs! - These can usually be found on publisher websites and give you the opportunity to receive physical arcs but also e-arcs through NetGalley. NetGalley is an amazing platform to receive e-arcs!! 3. Follow your favourite authors to stay up to date on all things as well as the opportunities for arcs sign ups!! 4. Enter arc giveaways!!! Always worth the try! Another one I didn’t list in the video is putting your email in an easy to find spot such as your bio, this makes it so if a publisher comes across your page they are able to find your contact info easily. Hope this helps besties 💕!!! #booksbooksbooks#arcs#booktips#reader#romancebooks

I've been doing this for hours 😂 15 ARCs of A Vision of Flame will ship out tomorrow! #arcreads #bookstagram #romantasy #indieauthor #publishing
