Join my ARC Team

Become an Early Bird Reader

Love getting your hands on a story before everyone else? Fancy sprinkling a little review magic that helps an indie author fly? You’re in the right spot.

What’s an ARC?

An Advance Review Copy (ARC) is a pre-publication e-book I send to trusted readers so they can:

  1. Read early—weeks before launch day.

  2. Leave an honest review on Goodreads, Amazon, or your favorite platform the moment the book goes live.

  3. Spread the word if the story lights you up.

What You’ll Get

  • A free digital copy (EPUB or MOBI) of each upcoming release.

  • Behind-the-scenes snippets—deleted lines, cover sketches, and the occasional coffee-fueled confession.

  • First dibs on swag giveaways and signed-hardcover drops.

What I Ask in Return

  • Post a spoiler-free review within one week of launch (life happens—just keep me in the loop).

  • Share the love on at least one platform (Goodreads, Amazon, Bookstagram, TikTok, the break-room bulletin board).

  • Keep the ARC file to yourself—no forwarding, please. My characters are shy about piracy.

If you’re game for early pages, honest opinions, and a front-row seat to an indie publishing adventure, drop your details below. I’ll slide the next ARC into your inbox faster than you can say “one-click download.”

(Coffee optional, enthusiasm required.)

I understand I'm signing up to be contacted when new ARC opportunities arise. By filling out this form, I am not committing to any specific book, only to be notified when ARC signups are live.
Yes! I'm happy to read books for free in exchange for an honest review before launch! I have a kindle and I will add emily@eelawson.com as an approved sender. (If you need help with this, send me an email and I'll walk you through it.)
I want to become an ARC reader and am happy to leave an honest review before and during launch day, but I don't have a kindle.
I want free books, but have no intension of leaving a review.
