We accept the following formats:

  • hard copies
  • e-copies (provided they can be read on a Kindle — no Adobe Reader, please)

We do not accept self-published titles.

After we are finished reading, all physical ARCs are donated to Andrew’s high school or our local library. All digital ARCs are deleted.
