Your Campaign Path

Create your account first. Build your campaign when you are signed in.

01

Create an Author account

Choose the membership that fits your launch. Your account is created immediately; there is no campaign approval queue.

02

Sign in to ARC Manager

Once signed in, your private dashboard is ready for your campaigns, readers, manuscripts, and delivery history.

03

Register your campaign

Create a campaign yourself, even before the manuscript is ready. Add readers or share your application link.

04

Deliver when ready

Attach the finished book, preview the watermark, and send copies only after each reader has accepted.

What We Help Coordinate

ARC marketing with reader trust at the centre.

  • Reader-fit and campaign timing
  • Advance-copy delivery and clear expectations
  • Feedback prompts for your revision or launch plan
  • Review follow-up that asks for honesty, never a positive rating
What To Have Ready

A few useful details.

  • A working title and genre
  • Your target publication window
  • A clean manuscript or ARC-ready plan
  • Your goals: feedback, early reviews, visibility, or reader growth
Author Account Plans

Choose your plan, create your account, then register campaigns inside ARC Manager.
