ARC Management Services

Build Early Buzz Without the Stress

A successful ARC campaign does more than collect early reviews. It builds reader trust, drives release day momentum, and strengthens your author brand. I handle every step of the process so you can focus on writing and launching with confidence. From ARC recruitment to BookFunnel delivery, I create structured, reader friendly systems that actually work.

ARC Campaign Setup (Once-Off)

This foundational setup is perfect if you plan to run multiple ARC campaigns over time. I build a system that keeps everything organized and repeatable, so future launches are less stressful and more efficient.

Setup includes:

A custom ARC signup form tailored to your tone and genre

A review submission form for readers to log reviews and promo

A synced Google Sheet that auto tracks responses from both forms

A shared Google Drive folder for assets and campaign files

A project board in ToDoist so you can see every step in progress

Once it is built, it is yours to reuse and adapt. No need to reinvent the wheel for each book.

Per-Release ARC Campaign Management

Each ARC campaign is handled from start to finish, with structure, empathy, and visibility in mind. You will receive full support across every step of the process, including outreach, design, and communication.

Each campaign includes:

A newsletter announcement sent to my curated Substack reader list (2,000+ subscribers)

ARC reader recruitment through Facebook groups, Reddit, social media, and past campaigns

A fully branded ARC toolkit (graphics, pre written captions, hashtags, and book info)

Secure ARC distribution via your BookFunnel account, with three email stages: delivery, reminder, and release day

A polished Release Day toolkit for social sharing and reader promotion

Ongoing reader communication and follow up

How ARC Campaigns Work

From signup forms to release day graphics, every detail matters.
A successful ARC campaign is not about handing out early copies and hoping for reviews. It is a structured process that combines timing, communication, and the right tools to support both authors and readers. This is where my ARC Management service steps in, not just to save you time, but to deliver a better experience for everyone involved.

ARC Management Services for Romance Authors

Building early excitement around your book can be one of the most rewarding parts of publishing, but it can also be one of the most overwhelming. That is where ARC Management comes in. As the founder of Literary Inspired, I help romance authors plan and execute structured, stress free ARC campaigns that build buzz, strengthen reader trust, and set your launch up for success.

When your ARC strategy is done right, it becomes more than a review collection tool. It becomes a community builder, a visibility driver, and a key part of your long term book marketing strategy.

What Is ARC Management and Why It Matters
An ARC campaign (Advance Reader Copy campaign) gives select readers early access to your book before release day. In return, they share reviews, feedback, and excitement that helps your book gain traction from day one. When managed well, an ARC campaign can increase your Amazon ranking, boost Goodreads visibility, and spark word of mouth interest across reader communities.

But not all campaigns are created equal. Without structure, things can easily slip through the cracks—readers forget to review, emails get lost, or assets are scattered. My ARC Management service eliminates that chaos by creating clear systems and communication flows that guide both authors and readers through every step of the process.

How Professional ARC Management Helps Authors
I work with authors at every stage, from debut writers launching their first book to seasoned authors managing multiple series. A well managed ARC campaign saves you time, reduces overwhelm, and helps your book make a strong first impression.

Many authors come to me after running their first few campaigns alone. They often feel frustrated trying to manage hundreds of emails, reader lists, and graphics while preparing for launch day. Within a few weeks, I help them move from scattered and stressed to confident and organized. By setting up reusable systems, they can manage future campaigns with ease.

A recent client came to me just weeks before her release. She had already recruited readers but was struggling to keep up with communication and reminders. I built her campaign system in BookFunnel, created automated delivery emails, and designed a branded ARC toolkit. On release day, her reviews rolled in on time, and her visibility skyrocketed. That is what structure does—it turns chaos into momentum.

The Key Elements of an Effective ARC Campaign
Every ARC campaign I manage is built around clarity, communication, and consistency. From recruitment to delivery, every detail has a purpose.

The foundation starts with a well designed ARC signup form that filters for engaged readers who fit your genre. Once your readers are selected, I create an automated system that tracks every response and update in real time. This ensures you always know who received the book, who reviewed, and who needs a gentle reminder.

Each campaign also includes a three touch email sequence through BookFunnel. Readers receive a delivery email with download instructions, a mid campaign reminder, and a release day follow up to encourage final reviews and posts. These emails are customized to match your tone and genre while keeping communication professional and friendly.

Your ARC toolkit is another key piece of the puzzle. It includes branded graphics for social media, pre written captions, suggested hashtags, and your key book details such as blurb, tropes, and content warnings. This makes it easy for readers to share your book across their platforms and builds consistent visibility around your release.

Building Reader Relationships That Last
The goal of ARC Management is not only to collect reviews, but to build lasting connections with your readers. I use a tone of respect and collaboration, not pressure. By making the process simple and enjoyable, your readers are more likely to engage again for future releases.

I have seen how much difference small touches make—a personalized reminder, an organized system, or a thank you message after the release. These details show readers that you value their time and feedback, turning casual reviewers into loyal fans who stay with you through every book.

ARC Management for Romance Authors
Because I work primarily with romance authors, every campaign is tailored to the unique dynamics of this genre. Romance readers are passionate, detail oriented, and love to share recommendations. I use that knowledge to design ARC campaigns that speak directly to them. Whether you write paranormal romance, romantasy, or contemporary romance, your materials, forms, and messages will all be customized to resonate with your specific audience.

My understanding of reader psychology plays a big role in this process. I know that genuine communication, thoughtful design, and clarity encourage action far better than generic templates. That is why every ARC campaign is built around empathy and intention.

Making Data Work for You
An organized ARC campaign is not just about communication—it is about information. I set up your campaign to collect meaningful data about your readers, such as preferred formats, favorite tropes, and engagement history. This information helps you tailor future campaigns and grow a stronger connection with your audience.

The entire process is tracked in real time through your Google Sheet and ToDoist board, giving you full transparency into what is happening at every stage. No more wondering if reminders were sent or how many reviews are in progress. Everything is clear, structured, and easy to manage.

Long Term Impact of Professional ARC Management
The benefits of a strong ARC Management strategy go far beyond a single release. It helps you build a reliable base of engaged readers who support you over multiple launches. Many of my clients reuse their systems across new series, making each launch smoother and more effective than the last.

A well executed campaign also supports other areas of your romance author marketing. Reviews feed into your social proof, graphics support your social media marketing, and early buzz strengthens your launch day promotions. Each part of your marketing becomes more cohesive and easier to maintain.

FAQ: ARC Management for Romance Authors

How early should I start planning my ARC campaign?
Ideally, you should begin at least four to six weeks before release day. This gives enough time to recruit readers, send reminders, and gather reviews before launch.

Do I need my book to be fully edited before sending ARCs?
Yes, your ARC copy should be as close to the final version as possible. Small typos are fine, but readers expect a polished experience.

What platforms do you use for ARC distribution?
I primarily use BookFunnel for secure delivery and reader tracking, but I also adapt to other systems if you already have one in place.

Can I reuse the ARC system you build for future releases?
Absolutely. Every ARC Management setup I create is designed to be reusable. You can easily adapt it for your next release with minimal updates.

How do you find ARC readers?
I recruit readers through trusted Facebook groups, my Substack community, and author specific networks. This ensures that your book reaches readers who are genuinely interested in your genre.

Do you only work with romance authors?
Romance is my main focus, but I occasionally take on projects in fantasy, YA, or women’s fiction if the tone and audience align with my experience.

Final Thoughts and Call to Action
Launching a book should feel exciting, not overwhelming. With structured ARC Management, you can focus on your creativity while I handle the logistics. Together, we will build a campaign that inspires your readers, delivers consistent results, and sets your release up for success.

If you are ready to elevate your next release with professional ARC Management services, reach out today. Let’s make your next launch your strongest one yet.

Reader Signups That Attract the Right Audience

I create a custom ARC application that reflects your tone, genre, and boundaries. Each form is connected to a master spreadsheet that auto filters responses and tracks reader preferences over time.

Automated Tracking That Saves You Time

I create a centralized system that tracks every part of your ARC campaign automatically. It is all logged and organized in a single, reusable Google Sheet to streamline your process.

Three-Touch Email Sequences via BookFunnel

ARC readers receive a professionally crafted sequence of emails, sent through your BookFunnel account, including delivery, reminder, and release day messages, all timed for maximum engagement.

Custom ARC Toolkits That Make It Easy to Share

Each toolkit includes pre written captions, branded graphics for Instagram and Facebook, suggested hashtags, and key book info like your blurb, tropes, and content warnings.

Reader Psychology Informed by Experience

I approach campaigns with empathy, using respectful reminders and messaging that encourage long term engagement over one time participation.a

Real-Time Progress You Can Actually See

You’ll have access to a shared ToDoist board where everything is tracked clearly. You always know what’s happening, what’s next, and what’s done.
