Please note, due to limited quantities, we are not able to provide review copies for everyone who applies.
frequently asked questions
what is an ARC?
This stands for Advance Readers Copy. These are bound copies of proofs that substantially reflect the finished book but are minus proofreaders' corrections and final text revisions from the author. They are circulated to generate pre-publication buzz and are not for resale. The terms "ARC" and "galley" are used interchangeably.
HOW ARE YOU PRIORITIZING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION WHEN DISTRIBUTING REVIEW COpIES?
We believe in prioritizing inclusivity among our reviewers. We value all forms of Diversity and Inclusion: race, ethnicity, gender identity, religion, disability, sexuality, etc. In each title application form, influencers are invited to self-identify as someone from a marginalized community.
Please note: Once the application period ends, influencers will be selected within ten business days, and then any personal information collected is discarded. We do not store personal information, including that regarding race, gender, or sexual orientation, after influencers have been selected for each title.
When can I expect to receive my review copy?
After the deadline for the application has passed, we will notify applicants within 2 weeks, depending on volume.
Please allow at least two to three days for processing and an additional week for shipping once you have been selected. Please allow at least fourteen business days before contacting us.
I'm getting a book! Now what?
We hope you enjoy the free book and that you'll like it enough to want to post about it, but we do not require you to post about it if you don't want to.
If you do decide to post, please use one of these three disclosure options. Make sure that it's visible above the expand:
THANK YOU — Please note free book: "Thanks for the free book" and tag the imprint.
PARTNER — Tag the imprint and use the imprint's Partner hashtag: #AAKnopfPartner, #DoubledayBooksPartner, #PantheonPartner, #SchockenPartner, #VintagePartner, or #EMLPartner.

I'm an International INFLUENCER, can I still request a review copy?
Knopf, Doubleday, Pantheon, Schocken, and Vintage & Anchor are US-based publishers, so we are only able to provide copies to influencers within the US. If you are located internationally, we recommend you first check with your local publisher. You can also reach out to InternationalPublicity@penguinrandomhouse.com to check on the rights restrictions and availability of review copies on a title-by-title basis.
When do new titles become available for request?
Every month, Knopf, Doubleday, Pantheon, Schocken, Vintage, and Everyman's Library create new application forms to request different titles. The best way to learn about new titles as soon as they're available is through our Influencer Database.
