WHEREAS the Author desires to have Service Provider assist in a pre-release (or initial outreach) ARC (Advance Reader Copy) marketing campaign in an effort to gather genuine credible reviews (from experienced book reviewers) for use in publication and to increase the number of legitimate reviews by providing Author requests for review copies.

Service Provider will also promote Author’s work through an online press release that is distributed to thousands of book reviewers, librarians, and bookstores. You can view a partial list of where the press release will be distributed here.
