ArcRoster started with a simple, maddening pattern: send a hundred review copies, get a handful of reviews, and have no idea who to trust next time — or who leaked your book when it turned up on a piracy site.
Indie authors have plenty of tools to distribute ARCs. What they don't have is a way to know whether distribution actually worked — who read the book, who reviewed on time, who quietly grabbed a free copy every launch and vanished. That information lives in spreadsheets, inboxes, and memory, and it resets to zero with every new book.
ArcRoster is built around what happens after you hit send. Every reviewer earns a reliability score from what they actually do. Your roster is permanent, so it compounds — each launch, you already know who shows up. And every copy you send is invisibly fingerprinted to its recipient, so if a file ever leaks, you can name exactly who it was issued to instead of guessing.
We're a small, independent team shipping in the open with a group of founding beta authors. We don't sell reviews, we don't run a reviewer marketplace, and we don't monetize your data. We charge a flat monthly subscription and build what our authors tell us to build next.
ArcRoster isn't a marketing suite, a store builder, or a mailing-list tool. It does one thing — run accountable ARC campaigns — and does it properly. Everything else you already have.
Your reviewers, scores, and history belong to you and export cleanly. We're not a walled reviewer marketplace you rent access to; we're the system of record for the team you build.
Fingerprinting is passive and disclosed — no DRM, no dark patterns, no reader tracking across the web. The evidence trail exists so your ARC terms mean something, not to surveil readers.
We're opening ArcRoster to the first 100 indie authors. Free during beta, early pricing locked in for life — in exchange for telling us what to build next.
