Join the Crystal Coast Reader Team
Crystal Coast Media & Publishing is looking for readers who love discovering new stories. We currently have two opportunities available:
• ARC Readers (Paid) – Receive early copies of books and provide feedback and reviews before publication.
• Book Reviewers (Volunteer) – Read published books and share honest reviews to help other readers discover new stories.
ARC Reader (Paid Position)
ARC stands for Advance Review Copy.
ARC Readers receive early copies of upcoming books before they are officially released. Their role is to read the book and provide honest feedback and a review before launch. Because they are helping authors prepare for publication and generate early interest, this role may include a small payment or incentive per book.
ARC Readers help with:
Early feedback on pacing, characters, and story clarity
Identifying small issues before final release
Writing an honest review that can be used for marketing or early promotion
This position is ideal for readers who enjoy discovering new stories before anyone else and helping authors improve their work.
Book Reviewer (Volunteer Position)
Book Reviewers read books after release and provide honest public reviews to help readers discover new stories.
This position is voluntary and is perfect for readers who simply enjoy books and want to share their opinions with others. Reviews may appear on:
personal blogs
reader communities
book platforms
social media
Book Reviewers help:
spread awareness about new titles
support authors by sharing their reading experience
