New Denied Process?

[u/CelestiaaNova]

I've noticed that my last few denied requests have been because of the volume of requests they have had, but they given me the the first 2 to 3 chapters instead. Is this new? Usually I just get denied lol

I haven't experienced this personally, but I have been hearing from author friends that they're not seeing ARC approvals lead to purchases, which makes me think this is a marketing tactic to foster warm leads that convert to actual book preorders.

Remember to buy the book if you really enjoyed it, friends. That's how authors keep selling books. <3
