Read it first. Be the voice that helps a new book find its readers.

As an ARC (Advance Reader Copy) Reader, you’ll receive a copy of a book before it’s publicly available. In exchange, you agree to write an honest review after release. Whether positive or critical, we value authenticity. Your review helps future readers make informed decisions, and it genuinely helps a new release get noticed.

What you get out of it:

• A free advance copy, before it’s available to the public
• The satisfaction of helping an independent author’s work reach more people
• Recognition as an early supporter

Good to know before you apply:

• We’ll ask which platforms (Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, etc.) you’re willing to post a review on. However, reviews can only go live once the book officially releases.
• A phone number is requested for occasional time-sensitive updates, like release-day reminders.
• By joining as an ARC Reader, you’re giving us permission to feature your review on our website. For example, it may appear on the book’s page or here on this page. It will be credited to your name or username as it appears on the platform where you posted it.

See our Privacy Policy for details on how your application information, including any health-related responses, is collected and used.

Some wellness programs, such as RISE & REPAIR and fasting-based programs, may not be the best fit for every person or every situation. Some require a little extra consideration before participating. Everyone is welcome in the Book Insiders Club, regardless of your answers. Your answers help us recommend programs that are both safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances. They are never used to judge or exclude you from the Book Insiders Club.

Please Note: This does not disqualify you from most Book Insider projects.
