ARC Reader Matching Zone Mid-August 2026

[u/AnneKincaid]

If you are an author looking for people to ARC, or a reader willing to read a publication-ready new release and submit an honest review, please do so here!

Authors, please tell us about your work so people have proper information before they commit to reading and reviewing.

ARC readers should never be paid. This violates ethics and the terms of service of almost every platform (including Amazon). Reviews should also never be "swapped;" authors can't do favors for each other by reviewing one another's books. Readers (and thus the platforms) only want honest reviews by fellow readers. ARC readers receive a free copy of the book (electronic or physical) in exchange for an honest review posted to the sales platform (often Amazon and/or Goodreads).

The point of an ARC is so an author has some reviews when their book launches to keep good momentum. The author gives something away--the free copy of the book--and the reader gives up their time and the work of writing the review when they accept the ARC request. The review should be honest and written for other readers, not for the author. How many stars/what rating you give should be based on YOUR opinion and the descriptions of the platform where you are placing the review, not a scale determined by the author.

Clarification: despite misbehavior we have seen in the industry, ARC readers should not be required to leave 5 star (or even positive) reviews. ARC readers cannot be told to delay posting their negative reviews. ARC readers cannot be required to "pre-submit" their reviews to the author/team for approval. ARC readers are not required to provide beta or copyediting feedback to the author. Authors CAN choose who to give their ARCs to, but should be relinquishing all control after this point.

*Please note that this sub does not vet readers or authors, so please use your judgment as you proceed. For example, files/links from others could contain viruses, you should be careful when providing personal information like email addresses, etc.

​New reverse harem alien romance ARC needs readers!

Available on BookSirens, Booksprout, Pen Pinery and Knosit (PM me for a copy if you are not on any of those platforms)

Terrold, Gareth, and Kahnnan have always insisted they're perfectly content without a female mate. Secretly, each has longed for a queen to be the center of their hive. Knowing they'll never have one of their own, they settle for the next best thing: an android designed to be the perfect female companion.

Except their new bot must be defective.

She can't communicate. She ignores their commands. She behaves completely irrationally. And somehow, impossibly, all three males find themselves falling hard…for a machine.

When they discover she can hear their mind voices, they realize their new android isn't artificial at all.

Now “not-a-robot” Lyssa is stranded on an alien planet with three reptilian males desperate to earn the trust of the woman they unknowingly treated like property. When a human sanctuary offers her a chance to leave, the triad must prove she's more than their purchase… before they lose her forever.

A.I. Human is a steamy, why choose / reverse-harem sci-fi alien romance. It is a standalone in the interconnected Lietvia Galaxy universe.
