KB’s ARC TEAM RULES. I know I’m wordy but please read entire post.
Firstly, thank you for being here! I know life is busy and there are millions of books on your TBR waiting to be read, but I appreciate you taking the time to be a part of my ARC Team! Secondly, there will be a new ARC form posted for every release and MUST be filled out every time in order to receive an ARC. There are many reasons for wanting to skip an ARC and that’s totally understandable. I ask if you find
yourself sitting out more than 3 releases in a row you remove yourself to keep the group topic focused. Thirdly, please turn your notifications for this group on as I will only be posting about ARC topics I want everyone to see. I will NOT spam you.
Anything shared in this group is confidential and should NOT be shared outside unless specifically stated.
ARC’s ARE STILL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL
RULES:
1.) Please make sure to review on release day or up to a week after.
2.) Reviews must be posted to 2 of the following: Amazon, Goodreads or Bookbub. *Amazon is beneficial because the more reviews the more the book is pushed to be recommended*
- 2b.) NOT A RULE. Posting reviews on Social Media—if you post your review on your book-socials please tag me! You can find all my socials here https://linktr.ee/kb.row (UNLESS, it is under 4 stars. You are free to review however you please, and I appreciate HONEST reviews no matter the outcome, but I would prefer to not have to see them firsthand.
3.) If you find yourself wanting to review my book under 4 stars for 2 or more of my books, we might not be an author/reader match and that's okay, but please exit the group.
4.) Try and keep your reviews spoiler free. I’m not sure why—I love a spoiler, but apparently not everyone does. Also, avoid using words like 'early copy' or 'ARC' in your review on Amazon as it triggers the bots and we don’t want anyone to get banned or their reviews pulled/monitored.
5.) Mistakes. The book has been through a professional editor by the time you get it, but errors are still possible! Finding them is not necessary as an ARC reader, but if you do see them, I will always appreciate being made aware! You can PM me on any social platform or email me at authork.b.row@gmail.com
6.) Piracy is becoming a real issue in the community. Please, please do not share your ARC copy with friends, family, or any piracy sites. My book will always be free with KU (Unless Amazon boots me but we will cross that bridge when we get there). Sharing a copy hurts me as an author and risks the chance of my Amazon account being banned and no longer being able to publish. Besides, it's just a d!ck thing to do.
