Join the Blackwell Spines ARC Team: Read the Next Witch’s Rebirth Book Before Anyone Else🖤
Hey there, fellow book lover!
You’ve followed my writing journey from the first draft to the final page, and I’m grateful for every comment, post and conversation we’ve shared. Because you’ve been such an essential part of my story, I want you to hear about my newest project first: the Blackwell Spines ARC Team.
If you love getting your hands on books before release day, swapping theories with other early readers and championing indie fiction, this is for you. Below you’ll find everything you need to know: how the program works, what books are coming and how to claim the ones that spark your curiosity.
🎯 What Is an ARC?
ARC stands for Advance Reader Copy, an early copy of a book that goes out to a select group of readers (like you) before it’s officially released.
Why ARCs matter:
Buzz building:Â early readers create genuine word of mouth on Goodreads, TikTok, Instagram and beyond.
Launch-day reviews:Â honest reviews on release day help new readers decide to take a chance on a book.
Community:Â you connect with fellow readers who love the same genres, and you get to be first to talk about a brand-new story.
In short, authors get early readers, and you get free books before anyone else.
📚 What’s on the ARC Menu?
1. The Witch’s Rebirth series, the next installments
If you’ve been following the magic, dark prophecies and fierce heroines of The Witch’s Rebirth, the next two novels are already in the pipeline. As an ARC Team member, you’ll:
Receive the complete book before release
See cover art and promotional extras before the public
Have a direct line to share your thoughts with me
2. Hand-picked indie gems
I’m also curating a collection of books by indie authors whose stories have captured my heart. As a team member, you’ll be invited to read these too: fresh voices and hidden-treasure storytelling you won’t find in mainstream aisles.
3. Behind-the-scenes extras
From time to time, ARC Team members will receive exclusive extras: author’s notes, deleted scenes and sneak peeks at upcoming projects. It’s my thank-you for being part of this.
🛠️ How It Works
Sign up. Fill out the short form at the link below. There are no contracts and no fees.
Choose your books. When new ARCs are ready, you’ll get one simple email listing what’s available. Claim only the books that excite you; there’s never any obligation.
Read and enjoy. Download your ebook through BookFunnel. It works on any device.
Leave an honest review. Please post your review by release day, or within two weeks after, on at least one of these:
Amazon (on or after release day)
Goodreads
Your blog or social media, using #BlackwellSpinesARC and #michaelariley
Please include “I received a free advance copy” in your review, as retailer guidelines require. Tip: A great review includes a brief summary, what you loved and your rating. Honesty is everything. You never have to give a book five stars. Be kind if you find a few typo's because author's may not have uploaded the final version for publication. This happens and has happened to me before. My editor and my old eyes missed a few:). They will usually let me know in advance and I will pass that on to you.
ARC Team perks:Â members may receive early cover reveals, discount codes for new releases and invitations to virtual launch parties.

đź–¤ A Personal Note From Me
You’ve been with me on this journey, so I wanted you to hear this first. I have lots of books to finish in The Witch's Rebirth Series and typing as fast as I can. The Gambit of Queens; Book IV https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HLZTZJXV is releasing on Samhain and I am so excited to share my Beyond the Veil, Shadow Journal inspired by The Witch's Rebirth Series, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HNTRBSBN.
Every comment, every share and every “I’m excited for the next book!” has been a stepping stone to where I am today. The ARC Team is my way of giving back, letting you peek behind the curtain and enjoy free early copies as a thank-you for being my most trusted readers.
The only commitment is your honesty (and maybe a cup of tea while you read).
Once you’re in, keep an eye on your inbox, and feel free to reply with any questions. I’m always happy to chat about plot twists, character motivations or the cover art for the next Witch’s Rebirth book.
Thank you for reading with me and supporting indie voices. Let’s turn the pages together.
With love and ink-stained fingers, Michaela
