What to Expect

Experience seamlessย ARC distribution and management with my comprehensive service.ย 

From reader recruitment to release day coordination, I handle every aspect of your ARC campaign.

My approach includes creating custom sign-up forms, promoting through my established reader network, crafting promotional toolkits, and managing ARC distribution via BookFunnel.With strategic social media engagement and author spotlights, I ensure that your book creates a buzz and receives early reviewsย to take the pressure out of your upcoming release day efforts.

Onboarding

I start by gathering all the essential details for promoting your book: cover art, book length, blurb, tropes, trigger warnings, and your author bio. These elements form the foundation of your ARC campaign.

Create Google Form

I design a comprehensive ARC sign-up form to capture reader information seamlessly. This ensures an organized process for communication and ARC distribution.

Newsletter Promotion

I promote your ARC sign-up through my Substack which gets distributed to 1,500+ engaged ARC readers, ensuring maximum visibility and participation.

Create a Social Media Buzz

I spread the word on Instagram, Reddit, and Substack, creating social media buzz and ensuring your ARC reaches a wide audience.

Create ARC Sendout Toolkit

I craft a customized ARC Toolkit with:

  • Pre-written captions
  • Bespoke graphics
  • An exclusive ARC Team badge

This equips your readers and ARC Team with everything they need to promote your book effectively.

Distribute ARC

Two weeks before release, I use BookFunnelโ€™s ARC scheduling tool to distribute the ARC, send follow-up emails, and provide review reminders to maintain organization.

Social Interaction

I actively engage with ARC shares and tags, re-sharing posts, responding to comments, and boosting visibility while building a sense of community.

Release Day Preparation

I prepare a tailored Release Day Toolkit with:

  • Custom graphics
  • Polished captions
  • Key book and author information

This ensures your release day is organized and impactful.

Release Day

On release day, I send the toolkit to readers, thank them for their support, and encourage them to share reviewsโ€”maximizing your bookโ€™s impact and reach.
