This image displays logos for various websites including StoryOrigin, Edelweiss, LibraryThing, Shelfawareness, Reedsy, Hiddengemsbooks, Booksprout, and NetGalley, under the heading "check out these sites" for obtaining ARCs.
how to get free ARCs
ARCs are advanced reader copies, aka books that are soon-to-be-released that need beta readers, editors, and reviewers before final publication!! you can get these books for free and leave helpful feedback for the author/publisher while being ahead of everyone else for potential new bestsellers!
