Fringe Fiction Unlimited discussion

This is mainly for those on here who have published already but i welcome all opimions.

How close to your set release date do you offer ARCs or giveaways for your novels?

I'm curious about how much time you give yourself to rack up a few positive reviews from bloggers and professional readers, etc before your novelis avaialble for all to purchase.

The farther out the better. I know if you were to offer me an ARC right now, it might be awhile til I can get to it. You want to give the reviewer as much time as possible.

Good point.

So 3-4 months before your release or earlier?

I believe some book bloggers ask for upwards of a six month turn around. Some of them have A LOT of books.

If you find the right groups in GR or are on good terms with members you might be able to drum up some buzz that way. Some people have followings for their reviews, which can't hurt.
