Early Readers
From time to time, Austris Press makes a forthcoming novel available to a small group of readers before publication. Early readers discover the book first—and, if they choose, share an honest review when it’s released.
What being an early reader means
- You receive a free advance copy of the ebook before publication.
- You’re invited to read it during the reading period we suggest for that book.
- When the book is published, we’ll ask you to consider leaving an honest review wherever you usually share your reading.
- Reviews are voluntary. They don’t need to be positive, and receiving an advance copy never depends on a favorable review.
An advance copy is an invitation to read early—not an exchange for a review.

Questions
What is an advance reader copy?
An advance reader copy (ARC) is a pre-publication edition of a book, shared with readers before its release. It may still receive final corrections before the book is published.
Does requesting a copy guarantee acceptance?
No. Requests are reviewed by hand, and each early-reader group is small. If you’re selected, we’ll email you with instructions for accessing the book.
Do I have to leave a positive review?
No. Reviews are voluntary, and we only ever ask for an honest one. Receiving a copy never depends on a favorable review.
What formats will be available?
Ebook, either as an EPUB file or for Kindle. If you’re not sure which suits your device, choose “Not sure” on the request form and we’ll help.
When will I receive the book?
Approved readers receive a separate email with access instructions ahead of publication. Timing varies by book and is shared with approved readers.
Will joining an ARC add me to a newsletter?
No. ARC participation and the ongoing Remy Ashcroft reader list are separate choices. The request form includes an optional box—unticked unless you tick it—if you’d also like occasional email from Remy Ashcroft. If you leave it unticked, we’ll only email you about the advance copy you requested.
