Your Book Is NOT Your Business Card
Biz Buzz

Beta Readers v. Street Teams v. Arc Readers

What are Beta readers? What about ARC readers? Or a street team? These are all different variations on a theme: how writers can leverage their fans to help their book succeed. But these terms are often misused and have some blurred lines as to their actual usage. So we clarify each of these terms in this week's episode and discuss how these groups interact with and often time lead into each other. 


Conversations With Colleen

Your Book Is Not A Business Card
