Hi friends! This post just came across my feed on Instagram that I thought would be interesting to discuss! The basic jist of it is that there are some creators who are very angry about “not getting anything” (aka only getting an epub file) in exchange for ARC reading. The original poster seemed to think thanks, character art, or a physical copy was necessary to thank readers for their time. I was taken aback that this was even a discussion, as it’s voluntary and you do get a free copy of the book (which is also the conclusion of the person who made the post I saw), but I thought this could be an interesting question for PB!
