An ARC team, or Advanced Readers Copy team, is a group of dedicated readers and bloggers who receive early copies of a book in exchange for honest reviews and promotional support. Joining an ARC team allows you to read books before they are officially released, build relationships with the author (moi), and help generate buzz for the books.

As a blogger on an ARC team, your main responsibilities include reading the book, posting an honest review on platforms like Goodreads, Amazon, and your blog, and helping promote the book through your social media and word-of-mouth.

The timeline for reading and reviewing an ARC can vary, but in any case, before the official release date. Be clear about your availability and any potential delays.

The size of your following is not always the most critical factor. I value genuine engagement and well-written reviews over follower count. However, having an active and engaged audience can increase your chances of being selected for ARC opportunities.

Being on an ARC team offers several benefits, including building relationships, gaining access to exclusive content, and being part of a community of fellow book enthusiasts. It can also enhance your blogging and reviewing skills.
