ARC is short for Advanced Review Copy and my ARC Team is a group of amazing men and women who have jumped on the bandwagon to be among the first to read my work before it releases. In fact, I have just sent them the first four Chapters of Book Two in The Nora White Story to help me to make some changes.
I am looking to grow my team and am looking for individuals who are interested in one or more of the following:
- Black / African American History
- Historical Fiction
- Young Adult
- Coming of Age
- Women’s Fiction
If you enjoy reading books along these lines (or are interested in trying something new!) I’d love to have you.
This program gives you free access to my work in exchange for your honest reviews and feedback. As an ARC / Beta reader, you get to help me to improve my writing by telling me what works and what doesn’t. If at any time you do not want to review or offer feedback, you can email me or unsubscribe at any time. While you are under no obligation to assist, your silence in regard to what doesn’t work literally does nothing for my growth. That said, I am looking for readers who are honest, kind, and genuinely intend on being active members.
The duties of an Advanced Reviewer are as follows.
- Read the manuscript within 2 – 3 weeks of receiving it
- Offer any feedback you feel I need to know in the form of an email.
- Post an HONEST review of the book on Amazon, Goodreads and any other retailers you like.
- Since you are receiving an ARC Copy (unless you have already bought the book) it’s important that you place a disclaimer at the front end of the review so that it’s published on Amazon: “I received a copy of this book as a gift from the author” is a good example.

I’ve been wanting to set up a similar program for both my own writing and the work I help publish via my consulting practice. Yours is the first (and only so far) program I’ve come across and I’d like to use it as a basis for setting up my own. I wanted to ask if you’d mind before I did so. I’ll link back to this post once I’ve got mine situated and listed on my sites, to make sure I give proper credit. You’re also more than welcome to review what I put together to make sure it’s not borrowing too heavily. Let me know, and thank you.

Hey Dana!
I am not sure I understand what you’re asking. Are you asking how I set it up? Please email me so we can discuss at yecheilyah@yecheilyahysrayl.com. Thanks so much.

Just wishing you all the best with your newest work.
(I am a hopeless reader these days and my reviewer/appraisal mojo just isn’t at home anymore)
Once more, best wishes
Roger

Yea. My ARC Team is amazing so I’d be honored to expand. I am really looking for more readers (in addition to those patient souls already on board) who are genuinely interested in the kinds of books I write. I think that’s so important for valuable feedback.
