5/31/2022 Do you request ARCs? Why or why not?




Audio ARCS yes. Because I simply can't say no. And I do want new things when they are brand new. Also, while I still do get these opportunities that people want to send me ARCS I will hold on.




But actually going out requesting on my own does not really happen anymore. I did request one for a joint review, but other than that, not really.




But ARCS do not hold they same pressure as they used to do. On time! Those were hectic days. Now I am more relaxed

  1. I am pretty much the same. I don't seek them out anymore but I will take one on (especially audio) if I'm pretty sure I will like it.
    And yes tot he no pressure!

  2. Yes, being able to relax while reading or listening is a big deal to me, too, so I only take ones that I think I'll enjoy.

  3. I remember Berkley/ACE would send me finished books every month and I'd never have time to read them, so I would have giveaways. So glad publishers and authors finally embraced digital copies!

    1. I used to get a lot from NG, but then the door was closed in my neck of the wood and I stopped requesting

  6. I still do occasionally, but these days I mostly get pitched stuff and I write back if it interests me. It's pretty tough to read stuff early these days though, so more and more I do finished copies or audiobooks.

  7. I'm reading all those TMST posts of yours and I can see a pattern here...you're relaxed 😂 😉.

    I do request ARCs on NG/EW, but I'm very selective...also, some publishers never approve me because I'm not in the US (while others do, so I still don't get it...).
