FOR WRITERS: There Are Bugs In Your ARC!

February 4, 2019 by scott

FOR WRITERS Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Maryann Kafka: As a book reviewer, it’s my understanding is that an ARC is not the finished product. Do you want a reviewer to comment on any errors they find? Is it an issue if a review is comes out before the official release date?

FOR WRITERS & READERS: Authors and ARC’s

October 16, 2018 by scott

FOR WRITERS & READERS Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Maryann Kafka: Does the author make the decision as to whether or not they want their book released as an ARC? Who makes the decision on the release date? Scott adds: How perfect should an ARC be? And do ARC’s “belong” to the readers who receive them? Join the chat

October 7, 2018 by scott

FOR WRITERS: ARC’s and Street Teams

May 22, 2018 by scott

FOR WRITERS Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Jana Denardo: I’ve been seeing a rise in ‘street teams’ or ‘ARC teams’ where arcs are given out so there will be reviews on/around release day. Has anyone tried this? has it improved sales? How have you chosen your team? (I’ve seen requests go out in vast email lists which seems like an unlikely way to do it). Join the chat
