Synced ARC Team Application

Hi!! So excited you're here!! Members of my ARC (Advance Review Copy) team will also be eligible for a post-release paperback of Synced at a reduced rate (just the cost of printing and shipping!) and a signed bookplate ❤️ 

*Clears throat*

Synced is a standalone sequel to my debut book. You don't need to have read or know anything about Tethered to sign up for this, but if you are interested in checking out Tethered first, it's enrolled in KU and in a few libraries too! 

The official release is December 15 2026.

This ARC is digital. It's ~113K words, which is about 270 pages on an ereader. It will be sent to the team by Nov 16 via a third party. Filling out this form does not guarantee applicants will receive an ARC. 

I'm looking for a number of avid readers who are familiar, if not interested, in one (or all) of the following: lesbian/sapphic/queer fiction, science fiction romance/soft sci-fi and character-driven books. 

Signing up means you agree:

- To support by leaving an honest review and/or posting on social media

- To read Synced and review it before it releases—though, if circumstances call for it, reviews after that date are no less valid and I still really appreciate them!

- To reasonably limit the amount of text from the book that is shared, mark spoilers where necessary, and refrain from saying 'in exchange for', as these reviews get flagged. 

Timeline

The form will close Nov 15. ARC members will receive an e-copy at least 4 weeks before the release.  

The copy will be as close to the final edit as I can get it for ARCs but is not the final edit. Please bear that in mind 🙌🏽 If you catch any errors and you'd like to mention them—I would be eternally grateful—please email arc@tjwilliams.uk 

You'll find out by Nov 16th if you've been selected. If so, you'll receive a link to download your preferred file. This is for you, and you only, not to be shared with anyone else. Please do not upload my book to pirate sites, I'll happily give free copies to those amongst marginalised communities who want one ❤️

If you're still interested, please complete the form below! It's just to make sure my ARCs reach readers who enjoy the genre and uplifting diverse, indie works 🙏🏽 All information, no matter how vague, provided here will be dealt with professionally and confidentially.

Would you like to be on my ARC team for all future books? *
Please provide links for whichever social media platform/s you prefer for reviews. Amazon, Goodreads, YouTube etc. Please make sure your link works before you add it here. If the accounts are private, I may ask for a screenshot ❤️‍🔥

Tip: to get the link for your amazon reviewer profile, visit https://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile and select public view. Changing the domain suffix (e.g. from .com to .co.uk) for your relevant country will redirect you to the correct site. 

Sorry! Amazon makes finding this page like Narnia.

Required
I commit to posting my review to the site/s of my choice within the specified timeframe *
Required
I understand I'll receive 2-3 follow up emails from TJ Williams including a reminder to review and to thank me.  *
Required
I understand I can contact TJ Williams at any point about delays or problems that mean I can't read/review my ARC—no hard feelings at all. 

I also understand that if I'm unable to do either/or, but don't reach out within a reasonable time, I will not be considered for future ARCs. 
 *
Required
I understand my ARC copy must not be distributed without permission, and that includes to friends and or family. I will not post my book on pirate sites. *
Required
Post-publication, I'll let TJ Williams know if I'd like a paperback at a discounted amount as this will have to be done individually and their brain will be mush 🥸 *
Would you like to be enrolled for my newsletter?

Subscribers receive exclusive perks such as bonus content, early access to future projects, plus the opportunity to sign up for future ARCs before the general public. Expect ~1 email per month, increasing only for promotion during a new release.

Have you read Tethered?

(Just curious!)
 *
Why do you want to be an ARC reader for Synced? This is not a test, please feel free to be honest. I've signed up to ARCs before because I liked the vibe. Sometimes that's all it takes. 

This is just for me to know what kind of readers my (amateur, self) marketing is attracting!
