For fiction authors
Welcome early readers into your world. Share an advance copy, a favorite excerpt, or a cover-reveal graphic they can pass along.
Bring readers closer before launch day.
Build a launch team you can manage beyond a list of names.
Keep applications, survey answers, approvals, and welcome messages together. Connect your team to advance-copy campaigns, reminders, and sharing materials, so there’s less to coordinate by hand before publication.
Know who’s joining. Have their next step ready.
A signup is the start of working with a supporter. BookArc keeps each application, confirmation, survey response, and approval decision with your team, so you can choose the right readers without maintaining a separate application spreadsheet.
Connect the welcome and the work. Prepare your team messages, then deliver advance copies through a campaign. Follow up with readers who haven’t downloaded and schedule an honest review request for those who have.
Build support you can return to. Keep the team organized for your next book. Some members will read early, others will share a graphic, and each launch can build on the relationships you’ve already made.
Build support around your kind of book.
Invite people who are interested in the work itself and give them a meaningful way to be involved.
For nonfiction authors
Invite readers who care about your subject. Share an advance copy, practical takeaways, or a resource their communities will find useful.
Invite your first supporters or bring an existing readership into your next launch.
From an invitation to a team ready to help.
Connect recruitment, advance-copy delivery, and sharing materials before your launch gets busy.

Welcome to the launch team.
Thank you for being part of The Moonlit Archive.
Your advance copy is ready. I’ll be in touch with a few ways to help as publication gets closer.

Example team welcome
Welcome approved members and connect them to an advance-copy campaign. Schedule download reminders and an honest review request, with the messages and timing you choose. This message is illustrative.
Example book-announcement graphic
Choose the book you’ve already added in Graphics Studio and create a sharing graphic from its saved details and cover. Give your team the finished image and a reader or buying link. A fictional book is shown.
Give your next launch people to share it with.
Prepare the applications, welcome, advance copies, and follow-up together, so you can spend more of launch week with your readers.
