- ARCs are an important part of the book marketing process when your book is in pre-launch. Those 6-8 weeks prior to your book being available for sale, but when your book is done, allow for the distribution kinks to be ironed out for wide distribution, as well as give you time to distribute ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) to your potential reviewers.
In this video, author and founder of Book Launchers, Julie Broad explains what is an ARC, when to use ARCs, and how to protect your book from being stolen when you distribution electronic ARCs to your book army and early reviewers.

It’s crazy, but I had a viewer just asking what an ARC was. Since I didn’t have a brief video covering it, yours suited our needs. Big kudos, bestie!
YIPPPIE ... glad we can swap content to help everyone. I send so many people your videos, especially the ones on Kindle and Keywords. :) You rock.
Book Launchers thanks so much for the kudos and support. You’re the best.
“Don’t worry about it” that’s the best advice for me.
Super comments on "theft." I think it was Neil Gaiman who said, "Don't worry about pirating. Worry about obscurity." I think I need to find a couple dozen dishonest ARC readers now.
Love that quote. :) HAHAH and the pursuit of the dishonest ARC readers made me laugh hard.
Great tips on ARCs, thanks Julie! I’m working on my next book and I’m excited to streamline my advanced reader process. This next one is going to be a best seller! 😁👍🏻
AWESOME!! Let me know if I can help you Tony.

PARCs
(Pre Advanced Reader Copies) should be sent to good writing buddies for preview review and final edits.
It works.
Ha! PARCS ... I like that. :)

There's something else I need to get to thinking about for my current writing project. I've finished three chapters and the introduction and am sitting at just over 10,000 words. There are eight chapters to go! I think I'll smash my goal of 32,000 words.
Kevin Maguire my boy!
@@DaleLRoberts Thanks! I punched out 2000 more before going to bed.
Kevin Maguire I need to crank out 3k today. I’m a little behind, but won’t stress about numbers. It’s more about staying consistent with writing again.
@@DaleLRoberts Congrats! That's been hard, but I've been trying that myself. Thursdays and Fridays are very busy for me, taking Vika everywhere. I've managed to get writing done too, but it ain't easy. Weekends are for power writing though :)
Kevin Maguire haha I don’t have the issue with kids per se. My biggest issue is making it a priority. At this pace, I should be done with my first draft in about 8-9 days. Then, comes my favorite part of things...editing. 🥴
Great video! Would an ARC be something you send for book blurbs or is that done before?
Julie did mention that is one of the things you can do.
YUP!! You definitely use this for book blurbs.
My book just got published through lulu
I had a great call with Lulu recently and am excited about some of their new features. Congrats on your publication. If you need marketing tips ... check this out: www.booklaunchers.com/gameplan
Okay I'm not trying to cry poverty here, but I'm drinking coffee out of my cupped bare hands until I get a mug! Or journal, I'll find a way to drink coffee out of that. #NoBoringBooks
I admire your dedication to coffee drinking as well as to making sure you use the correct drinking vessel.☕
You're going to get there I promise ... can't promise when ... but you will.
📙💯

Hi
Are the ARC early reviews losing any of their potency as a result of Amazon's greater emphasis on "verified purchase" reviews?
That's an interesting question. But then again how much emphasis would you put on them when you read articles about people gaming the system at Amazon, such as with Amazon Choice.
@@bigblue6917 I didn't even know about this until I checked on a search engine. www.theguardian.com/money/2020/feb/06/amazon-choice-label-is-being-gamed-to-promote-poor-products
Well ARC reviews aren't just about Amazon but most people build their book army and ask them to buy when they set the book at .99 cents so it is a verified review and then they raise the price up afterwards for the public consumption.
Yes, you can communicate the same good ideas without the middle school hyped enthusiasm at the beginning and sporadically throughout. Too affected, forced, and cheerleaderly.
Trust your content. It’s good.
May you never meet me in person ... I am the person you see on video just without the jump cuts or drop in graphics.
