FAQs

  • To join Qin's ARC team, you must be able to leave reviews on an Amazon website. Amazon.com is preferred, but Amazon.co.uk or other sites are also acceptable.

    To submit your application, please fill out the form above, including a link to one of your reviews of an Ivy Layne book on an Amazon website. Please only submit the link, not the review itself.

    **Acceptance to the team is not based on the content of the review, only on the willingness to review and the ability to leave a review on an Amazon website. Thank you for your participation!**

  • It's easy! As soon as a new Ivy Layne book is ready for the ARC Team, you'll receive an email with a link to a form to sign-up for the book, as well as the expected publication date and review deadline.

    If you'd like to read the book and feel you'll be able to read and review by the deadline, fill out the form to request your ARC. You'll then be able to download your book from BookSprout, the service we use to deliver ebooks. Then you'll read and review the book. Your review can be as simple or elaborate as you like, but we do ask that you not reveal any spoilers.

    Per Amazon's terms, as part of your review you'll include the words, "I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of the book." (Or something similar.)

    When the book is published, you'll receive an email from BookSprout with the link to the book on Amazon & Goodreads, as well as directions on how to post your review on Amazon and log it with BookSprout.

    Simple as that! Just read, post your review, and let us know about it :)

  • Once Our Lives by Qin Stubis will be officially released on June 1st. If possible, please try to send in your review by this release date, which will be about a week after you receive your ARC copy. If you can’t complete the review by the release date, then within the first few days of the release is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Please keep in mind that if you fill out the above form requesting an ARC, you are stating your interest in reading and reviewing the book. You don't have to review the book if you change your mind, but if you accept the free book and choose not to leave a review, you won't be offered future ARCs.
