I was wondering if anybody can help me on how to get Advance Reading Copies (ARC) of books and free copies from newly released books for PNR and Urban Fantasy authors? Do I contact the publishers? Do they have some criteria before they send you these books? I plan to giveaway books to my blog readers from the Philippines especially since books are usually released here like 1-3 months later than U.S. release dates..yeah so sad :(
If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it!
Based from some of the things that I've read, I think you have to be an established book blogger with a strong following before you can ask for ARCs and yes you have to write to publishers for those. I'm not sure though if they're willing to ship them to the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteIt may takes for me to become an established book blogger LOL . Anyway, thats what I plan to be though, better start now! Soon when I become full time SAHM (Stay at home mom), I'll be a full time blogger too! :D
ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteBaka alam ni Jessica Zafra. She keeps a reading/writing/movie blog of sorts. http://www.jessicarulestheuniverse.com/
Course, it helps that she's an established author. ;)
It really does take time and effort. I keep thinking that I'm not blogging for the free copies anyway, I'm doing it because I love to read and blogging is fun. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I moved my blog from Livejournal to WordPress. Sorry for the confusion, I just noticed that you still have the Livejournal in your blogroll. :P
I meant to say, it'll take years for me to become an established blogger :)
