ReaderMission

ReaderMission is a platform designed to connect authors with readers for the purpose of obtaining early reviews and feedback on their work. It operates by providing authors with a way to distribute advance reader copies (ARCs) of their books to a curated group of readers who have expressed interest in specific genres or themes. These readers, often referred to as "beta readers" or "ARC readers," agree to read the book before its official release and provide an honest review.

The primary goal of ReaderMission is to help authors build initial buzz and generate reviews that can contribute to a book's success upon launch. For readers, it offers the opportunity to discover new books and authors, often before they are widely available, and to contribute to the literary community by sharing their opinions. The platform typically facilitates the request and distribution process, ensuring that authors can manage their ARC campaigns effectively and that readers receive copies in a convenient format, usually digital. The reviews generated through such platforms are often shared on major online bookselling and review sites, aiming to influence potential buyers and provide valuable social proof. ReaderMission aims to streamline this process for both parties involved.
