ok, so first u should probably sign up to netgalley
Gourica wrote: "Okay guys but on which criteria do we get an arc? Anyone can mail the authors for one?"
Yes you can, though there's no guarantee either way

An ARC is basically a book, but available before release so that people, i.e. readers, out there know it exists and to buy it after it releases. Publishers give out ARCs hoping that when advance reviewers and readers read and review them, more people will find out about the books, resulting in more books sold.
While every publishers criteria differ, on netgalley at least, the best way to get arcs is to have a good social connection, i.e. friends and followers, ability to write reviews and write them regularly and on time, and being able to promote the book (though this is optional, but book blogs, instagram, twitter, facebook and other accounts go a long way in ensuring an arc)
if you're on netggalley, i'd suggest going through the pages of different publishers, and seeing what each of them like in their requesters....you'll get a good idea of what you should have to get approved, though those preferences are often overstated
I am not interested in reading ARCs right now, that may be because I have got so much books to read, homework to do all when I am kinda in a reading slump.
