Beta Sign Ups
A beta reader is someone who reads a writer's work before it’s published to provide feedback from a reader’s perspective. They help identify issues with plot, pacing, characters, and overall readability. Beta readers aren't editors, but their input can be crucial in refining a story.
ARC Sign Ups
An ARC (Advance Reader Copy) reader gets an early copy of a book, usually before its official release, in exchange for an honest review. Their feedback helps build buzz and credibility for the book through early reviews. ARC readers focus more on overall impressions than detailed critique.
Street Team Sign Up
A Street Team member gets early access before its public launch in exchange for sharing it with their network and offering honest feedback. They help generate early buzz and grassroots awareness through word-of-mouth, social posts, and community engagement. Unlike testers or critics, Street Team members focus on spreading excitement and being part of the movement from the ground up.
