The ARC team for Chicane opens eight weeks before launch. Ninety free copies. Honest reviews. The launch wave starts with you.
An Advance Review Copy is a free copy of the book sent out to a small group of readers six to eight weeks before publication day, in exchange for an honest review on Goodreads, Amazon, BookTok, Bookstagram, or your own platform.
The deal is simple: you read it early. You tell people what you thought. We do not edit your review or ask you to change a word.
That is it. There is no money exchanged. There is no obligation if it turns out the book is not for you — just send a polite "not for me" reply and we move on.
BookTok creators with 50k+ romance followers, or Bookstagram creators with active romance audiences and consistent posting. Small press kit included.
Bookstagram · BookTok creators with 5k–50k followers. Goodreads "top romance reviewer" badge holders. Indie romance Discord moderators.
Goodreads romance reviewers (1k–5k followers). Romance.io reviewers. Romance review-site contributors. Local romance bookstore owners.
If you read romance, write reviews, and have a small audience that trusts your taste — that’s enough. We do not require numbers.

A short note about you, your platform, and what you read recently is enough.
