ARC Management Services

Build Early Buzz Without the Stress

A well-executed ARC campaign does more than collect early reviews—it builds reader trust, drives release day momentum, and grows 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’re planning to run multiple ARC campaigns over time. I’ll 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’s built, it’s 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’ll 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 own 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 isn’t about handing out early copies and hoping for reviews. It’s 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.

What Is an ARC Campaign—And Why Does It Matter?

An ARC (Advance Reader Copy) campaign is more than just a giveaway. It’s one of the most effective tools for building early buzz around your book. When planned well, ARC campaigns generate pre-release reviews, expand your reach to new readers, and support a strong launch without relying on paid ads or massive social followings.

The problem? Most authors don’t have the time—or energy—to manage all the moving parts. That’s where I come in.

As your ARC manager, I build repeatable systems, handle the reader communication, and deliver structured, supportive campaigns that align with your release timeline. Whether this is your first book or your fifteenth, I’ll help you build momentum in a way that feels organized, empowering, and completely aligned with your author brand.

Who This Service Is Designed For

This service is ideal for indie authors who:

  • Want early reviews to support their release

  • Are balancing writing, marketing, and life—and need help managing it all

  • Have tried ARC campaigns before but felt disorganized or overwhelmed

  • Don’t yet have an ARC team and want to build one

  • Want to focus on launch prep, not spreadsheets and reminders

Whether you’ve never run a campaign or just want to make your next one smoother, I’ll meet you where you are.

What I Handle For You

Each ARC campaign is broken into two phases: setup (once-off) and per-book management. If you’re new to the process, we start with a foundational setup that creates your reusable systems—custom signup forms, a review tracker, and centralized folders to keep your assets organized.

From there, I run each ARC campaign using a proven, reader-friendly flow that includes:

  • Newsletter promotion via Substack

  • ARC recruitment across platforms

  • Toolkit creation with graphics and captions

  • ARC delivery via BookFunnel

  • Follow-ups timed to maximize review return

  • Release day promo support

You’ll get peace of mind knowing your campaign is handled professionally, and your readers will feel valued and supported at every stage.

Why Timing Is Everything

Many authors send out ARCs too early or too late—and both can sabotage engagement. Based on reader behavior and industry benchmarks, I use a 6-week promotional window with ARC delivery set two weeks before release. This sweet spot gives readers enough time to read without forgetting the book when it’s time to review.

I also structure campaigns around the idea of three reader touchpoints:

  1. ARC delivery email (with toolkit)

  2. Reminder email (3–5 days later)

  3. Release day email (with fresh assets)

Each of these is written and scheduled by me through your BookFunnel account, ensuring your messaging stays consistent, kind, and timely.

Creating ARC Toolkits That Readers Actually Use

One of the biggest mistakes in ARC campaigns is assuming readers will “just know what to post.” In reality, even your biggest fans appreciate a little guidance. That’s why I create branded toolkits for each campaign, complete with:

  • Pre-written captions (with room for personalization)

  • Instagram and Facebook-ready graphics

  • Hashtags and suggested post dates

  • A clean summary of your blurb, tropes, and content warnings

On release day, I send out a separate toolkit—so your readers have fresh graphics and something new to say, helping you stay top of feed and top of mind.

Real Relationships, Not Transactional Reads

ARC readers are book lovers. They’re not paid promoters or obligated fans. I treat them with respect and create campaigns that make them feel seen, appreciated, and excited to support your work.

I send gentle reminders, not guilt trips. I acknowledge life happens. And I build long-term relationships with readers who come back again and again because they enjoy the process—not because they feel pressured.

This human-first approach results in:

  • Better engagement

  • Higher retention across campaigns

  • Honest, thoughtful reviews

Managing Author Expectations—Without the Burnout

I also support you, the author, by keeping expectations grounded and realistic. A 10% review rate is industry standard. That means if 100 readers download your book, 10 reviews is considered a success. I help you understand what’s normal, what’s possible, and what growth looks like over time.

If a reader doesn’t post, I don’t flag it as a failure. I track the data, help you identify patterns, and support you in building a stronger ARC team for every release.

Why BookFunnel?

BookFunnel is essential for managing your ARC safely and professionally. It allows secure distribution, automated emails, and detailed tracking—all under your control. I’ll set everything up, send the emails, and manage the entire campaign from your account. You just need a paid BookFunnel plan and to add me as a team member.

How We Stay Organized Together

I’ll invite you to a shared Google Drive folder to upload assets (covers, tropes, quotes, etc.) and to a ToDoist board so you can track your campaign timeline. You’ll see when emails are scheduled, toolkits are ready, and reader recruitment begins—without needing to check in constantly.

This system was built to keep ARC campaigns structured and flexible, so you can stay informed without being overwhelmed.

You Don’t Need to Go Viral. You Just Need to Be Visible.

ARC campaigns are a quiet but powerful part of your release plan. When you’re consistent, strategic, and supportive, they become one of the best ways to build buzz, deepen your reader relationships, and launch with confidence.

If you’re ready to make your ARC process easier, clearer, and more impactful—I’d love to help.

Let’s build a campaign that supports your success—without the chaos.

Reader Signups That Attract the Right Audience

It all starts with the sign-up form. I create a custom ARC application that reflects your tone, genre, and boundaries—designed to attract readers who are excited about your book, not just free downloads. Each form is connected to a master spreadsheet that auto-filters responses and tracks reader preferences over time.

Automated Tracking That Saves You Time

Instead of juggling DMs, emails, and spreadsheets, I create a centralized system that tracks every part of your ARC campaign automatically. It’s all logged and organized in a single, reusable Google Sheet. This setup streamlines your process and builds a long-term view of reader engagement you can rely on for future releases.

Three-Touch Email Sequences via BookFunnel

ARC readers receive a professionally crafted sequence of emails, carefully timed for maximum engagement. This includes an initial delivery email with the ARC and toolkit sent two weeks before release, a reminder email 3–5 days later to encourage continued reading, and a final release day email prompting reviews and social shares. All emails are sent directly from your BookFunnel account, which I manage from start to finish—so everything stays consistent, timely, and hands-off for you.

Custom ARC Toolkits That Make It Easy to Share

Readers want to support your book—but they’re often short on time. I make it easier by providing a complete promotional toolkit with everything they need to share confidently and creatively. Each toolkit includes pre-written captions, beautifully branded graphics for Instagram and Facebook, suggested hashtags, and key book info like your blurb, tropes, and content warnings.

Reader Psychology Informed by Experience

ARC readers aren’t employees—they’re volunteers. I approach campaigns with empathy and clear communication, knowing that many readers juggle multiple ARC commitments or personal obligations. My reminders are respectful, and my messaging is designed to build trust, not pressure. I aim to make ARC readers feel valued and appreciated, encouraging long-term engagement rather than one-time participation.

Real-Time Progress You Can Actually See

Transparency is important to me. Throughout your campaign, you’ll have access to a shared ToDoist board where you can see what’s happening, what’s next, and what’s already done. From reader recruitment to review reminders, everything is tracked clearly—so you always know where your campaign stands without needing to manage it yourself.

Frequency Asked Questions

ARC campaigns can be one of the most valuable parts of your release strategy—but only when they’re handled with structure and care.

These FAQs are based on what authors ask me most often when they’re considering ARC support. If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or just want to make the most of your next campaign, this section is for you.

Ideally, I recommend booking 6 to 8 weeks before your release date. That gives enough time to build your toolkit, recruit the right readers, and ensure your campaign rolls out at the right pace.

Not at all. Part of what I do is help build your ARC team from scratch, using outreach across Facebook groups, Reddit, my ARC network, and genre-specific communities.

Yes! ARC campaigns aren’t just for brand-new releases. They work well for relaunches, repackaged titles, new formats (like audio), or boxsets you want to spotlight again.

No—and any service that does should be approached with caution. Reviews are never guaranteed, but I set up the systems, reminders, and support to give you the best possible return. A 10% review rate is considered a success in this space.

It happens. Readers are volunteers, not employees. I follow up gently, not aggressively, and I don’t remove readers from future campaigns for missing a review—unless they’re repeatedly non-responsive or clearly disengaged.

I use Google Forms for reader applications and review submissions, BookFunnel for ARC delivery and automated emails, and ToDoist to manage your campaign in real-time so you can check progress without micromanaging.

Yes. I track promo links and review submissions in a central sheet you can access anytime. You’ll also get screenshots and post links where available—so you can see what’s working and thank your readers directly if you’d like.

Yes, BookFunnel is required. It ensures secure ARC delivery, tracks downloads, and allows us to send emails directly to your ARC team. You’ll need a paid plan and to add me as a team member.

Absolutely. If you’d like to take a more hands-on role in communication or join me in reader outreach, I’m happy to include you. Otherwise, you can step back and trust that I’ll manage the campaign fully on your behalf.

Yes! I’ve run ARC campaigns across romance, dark romance, paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, and more. As long as your content complies with platform rules (like BookFunnel’s), I’ll adapt the tone and toolkit to suit your genre and audience.
