What is a Beta Reader?

Description
Beta readers are crucial to the book development process, providing feedback on manuscripts before they are finalized. As a beta reader, you’ll get an early look at raw versions of manuscripts and have the opportunity to suggest improvements related to plot, character development, and structure.

Benefits

  • Influence book development
  • Enhance your reading experience by seeing behind the scenes
  • Improve your own writing and analytical skills

What is an ARC Reader?

Description
ARC readers receive nearly final versions of books before they are released to the public. Your role is to read the book and prepare a review that can be published on platforms like GoodReads, Amazon, or your personal blog upon the book’s release.

Benefits

  • Be among the first to read new books
  • Help build buzz around upcoming releases
  • Increase your influence as a reviewer in the literary community
