Downloading your ARC
Approved ARCs download through protected links that expire in fifteen minutes; five downloads per approval.
For readers and authors · updated 2026-09-12
Approved ARCs are delivered through protected links that expire fifteen minutes after they are issued. Each approval allows up to five downloads; if a link expires, ask for a fresh one from My requests — it costs nothing until a download actually succeeds.
These limits protect the author's unreleased manuscript. If you reach the download limit, contact the author from the campaign page — or send it to the team with the book's name.

- Requesting an ARC — Request from the book page during an active campaign; the page shows the deadline, formats, slots, requirements and your openly computed match.
- ARC reviews and your reliability — Honest reviews are the only rule; reliability measures whether you read and reviewed on time, never how you rated.
