In this video, I walk you through how to create a Google Form for your Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) team—a crucial step for indie authors preparing for a book launch.
If you’re independently published, you don’t have a built-in review team handed to you.
 
That means building your own ARC team and collecting the right information in an organized, ethical way. Google Forms make this process simple, efficient, and scalable.
 
You’ll learn:
✅ What ARC readers are and how they support your launch.
✅ Why Google Forms are ideal for managing ARC sign-ups.
✅ What information to collect (and what not to ask for).
✅ How ARC timelines typically work before release.
✅ How to design a clean, effective form that keeps responses organized.
 
Whether you’re launching your first book or refining your process, this video will help you set up a professional ARC intake system that supports reviews—without violating platform guidelines.
 
👉 Perfect for indie authors, self-publishers, and anyone building a street or ARC team for the first time.
