Brooke W (thereadersgame) | 4214 comments I got an e-copy of Mirror's Edge- then a physical copy from them. But before all of that, I bought my own copy.

I am so very sorry Scholastic.

But also not because I gave the copy I bought to my LA teacher who didn't even know the third book in that series existed.

angela (bookishcloudy) So I just starting getting interested in ARCs. I have applied for two YA books on Netgalley, The Girl Least Likely by Katy Loutzenhiser and Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean. If there are any popular ARCs right now, I would be interested and hope you could let me know! It seems like many of us have experience with this!

the publisher took it down (aka u cant request or download it anymore) it usually gets archived near the publishing date

Mango (mango_lord) | 650 comments Heyyy so I'm new to this ARC thing...so how do you get an ARC? Is it necessary to have a blog to get one? How do you request one?


message 1717: by nαомι (new)

nαомι αndιno (nndno) | 169 comments I use NetGalley and I linked it to my Goodreads page, and I browse the new titles every week to see if I like anything...there are some Arcs that are ready to read and some that you have to request


message 1718: by nαомι (new)

nαомι αndιno (nndno) | 169 comments There's also a feedback ratio depending on how many arcs that you've gotten you've actually rated, the recommended it 80% but I've had arcs accepted to me with my feedback at 60% so it depends on the publisher I guess


message 1719: by Mango (last edited May 11, 2021 05:05PM) (new)

Mango (mango_lord) | 650 comments Ohh okay! Thank you so much! So I'm trying to get a NetGalley account and they're asking for my company? What if I don't have a company? Does that mean I'm not allowed to have an ARC?


message 1720: by nαомι (new)

nαомι αndιno (nndno) | 169 comments I put Goodreads as my company lol


message 1721: by Mango (new)

Mango (mango_lord) | 650 comments Ohh lol. I guess I'll do that too, because I'm clueless at this XD. Thanks!


message 1722: by nαомι (new)

nαомι αndιno (nndno) | 169 comments You should also make a good bio!!
Your fav genres, authors and some goodreads stats like how many friends + followers or any stats that you have


message 1723: by Mango (new)

Mango (mango_lord) | 650 comments Alright!! Will do. :))
When you say bio, do you mean Goodreads bio, or is there like a bio on NetGalley?


aurora *ੈ✩‧₊˚ (aurorareading) hi! sorry to bother, but what does “ARC” mean? i’m kinda new to goodreads & book reading groups 😅

it's short for advanced reader copies, which essentially is early copies book reviewers get to promote the book.

message 1734: by nαомι (new)

nαомι αndιno (nndno) | 169 comments Yes! You can still read and write review even if it's archived, I'm currently listening to an audiobook that was archived on Tuesday but I still have 30 days left before the download gets deleted off my phone

this is great, i'd also suggest adding your goodreads link in the bio, as well as the links section because soemtimes they ask you to do that if it doesn't show up in the links section

LyraFirefly | 1210 comments If you connect your goodreads account I think it automatically shows it to the publishers.

It does, but the emails I've gotten form publishers still say to include in the bio so I just do it
