An invitation to our advance readers

Read it first.
Tell us what you think.

Join the Midnight Radio Publishing ARC program. Receive a free advance reader copy of upcoming work and help us prepare it for the world with your honest feedback.

How the program works

Apply below to be considered for future ARC invitations. Each invitation will explain the book, its content, the available format, and the survey deadline. Accept only when you have time to read and respond.

Your honest opinion matters. You don’t have to love the book to be a valuable reader.

The reader agreement

  1. Accept with the intention to read.

    Review the invitation before committing. If the book or deadline isn’t a good fit, you may decline.

  2. Return the ARC survey on time.

    Complete the short reader survey by the deadline provided with your copy. Tell us what worked, what confused you, and what didn’t. Praise is not a requirement.

  3. Keep us informed.

    If you cannot finish, or the book isn’t for you, let us know. We welcome honest feedback about why you stopped. Any deadline extension must be requested and agreed upon before the deadline.

  4. Respect the advance copy.

    Your ARC is for personal use. Do not upload, forward, reproduce, or sell it.

  5. Protect the surprises.

    Avoid revealing major twists or the ending in public posts.

  6. Public reviews are your choice.

    Public reviews are welcome, but never required. Your rating, your opinion, and whether you post a review have no bearing on continued participation or future invitations.

  7. Your private feedback stays private.

    We will ask your permission before quoting your survey responses in public or using them in promotional materials.

The deadline is a commitment.

If we do not receive your completed ARC survey by the agreed deadline, you will be removed from the program and will no longer be eligible for future ARC invitations.

An extension must be requested and agreed upon before the deadline. Removal is based on the missing survey—not on a negative opinion or your decision not to post a public review.
