How Can You Be A Good ARC Reader? | Ep. 339 | The Merry Writer Podcast

EPISODE SHOW NOTES

ARCs, also known as Advanced Reader Copies, are super important for any author, but especially indie authors. We've discussed sending ARCs as an author before, but what about being an ARC reader? This week, we discuss how you can help support indie authors by being an ARC reader for them, and how to be a good one.

In this episode, we cover:

• ARCs vs. Beta reading
• Author requirements
• Knowing your limits
• and more!

• Ep. 269 - AI in the Writing Industry
