I always see people talk about getting ARCs and I’ve been very fascinated, but how I can do this? I read hundreds of books a year and recently started reviewing some on Goodreads/Amazon. I don’t have a large following but I think it would be beneficial if I could get ARCs so my reviews could be seen earlier when people are still wondering if they should read this book when it first comes out.

I’m working on possibly making an instagram for a book platform but I just need exposure/help. I leave very honest reviews, the good the bad the ugly and the truth.

Any help is appreciated :)

p.s. I mostly read dark romance, fantasy, and TONS of indie authored books on KU!!

    ARCs are almost exclusively used as a way to promote a book and you’re not going to get them unless you already have an established and relatively large social media presence.

    If you’re just looking for free books then check out the library or enter giveaways.

    If you’re not treating it like it’s your job then you’re not going to get any ARCs and even then it’s a gamble.
