ARC Distribution
Your book needs early readers.
We connect you with real ones.
Distribute advance reader copies to verified readers who actually read your book and share honest feedback. From $1 per ARC.
No credit card required. No subscription.
No early readers = invisible on Amazon
Amazon's algorithm promotes books that already have momentum. Without engaged readers leaving feedback, your book won't appear in search results, won't get recommended, and won't sell. The first 10-20 reader interactions are the hardest to earn — and the most important.
How it works
Step 1
Add your book
Import from Amazon with your ASIN or upload a PDF.
Step 2
Choose your ARC type
Starter or Standard — pick the level that fits your goals and budget.
Step 3
Set your schedule
Release all at once or spread distribution over 2-12 weeks for a natural rollout.
Step 4
Get real feedback
Qualified readers receive your book, read it, and share their honest thoughts.

What authors are saying
“I had zero reviews for three months and my book was invisible. After listing on Scrivy, I got 8 reader reviews in the first month. My sales went from 1-2 a week to 3-5 a day.”
Rachel M.
KDP romance author
“I've tried other platforms to find readers and they all felt sketchy. Scrivy is different — the readers actually read the book. My bestseller rank went from 800K to under 50K.”
Priya K.
Children's book author
“I spent months promoting on social media with zero results. Two weeks after listing on Scrivy, I had 6 reader reviews and my sales tripled.”
Keisha R.

Frequently asked questions
Are these real readers?
Yes. Every reader is a real person who actually reads your book. We never use bots or fake accounts.
What happens after a reader receives my book?
Readers receive your advance copy and read it. Where and whether they choose to leave feedback is entirely up to them — we distribute the book, but what happens on third-party platforms is outside of our control. This is the same model used by traditional publishers for decades.
How long until I get my first readers?
Most authors see their first readers within 48 hours. The exact timeline depends on your ARC type, schedule preferences, and reader availability.
Can I choose what the readers write?
No. Readers leave honest feedback based on their experience with your book. That authenticity is what makes ARC distribution valuable.
What if I'm not happy with feedback?
Feedback reflects honest reader opinions. You can cancel unclaimed ARCs for a full refund, but we cannot modify or remove published feedback.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Every new account starts with a free 7-day Pro trial — no card required to sign up.
