Advance reader copies (ARCs) are pre-publication versions of books provided to select readers for feedback and reviews. They often feature unfinished content and may lack final edits or cover designs. These copies are crucial for authors and publishers to generate buzz and gather early opinions, helping to shape marketing strategies and improve the final product. Readers of ARCs play a vital role in the literary process, influencing the success of new releases through their insights and reviews.
