Hey PH 👋 I built ARCDesk after watching my girlfriend, an indie author, run her ARC (Advance Reader Copy) process through a cobbled together mess, then spend the week before launch scrolling through her book's Goodreads reviews trying to match up which reviewer was which ARC reader, and who hadn't shown up at all. She told me this is just how everyone in the space does it. Right now, the process is stitched together from whatever's on hand. A Google Form collects applications. A spreadsheet is where you copy the approved people to a shortlist of who's a good fit. Then you're hunting down a way to actually get the file to each reader, since Kindle needs one format and Kobo needs another, so a lot of authors end up on BookFunnel just for delivery, where they then copy across their shortlist into their BookFunnel account just to send it out. Deadline arrives, and it's manually scrolling through Goodreads trying to figure out who actually reviewed. Next book, you start from zero again, with no memory of who showed up last time. ARCDesk replaces the whole chain all in one place, form, shortlisting, delivery, reminders, with one connected flow, and adds the one piece that never existed anywhere: automatic Goodreads review verification, so you know who came through without the manual scrolling. Built for indie authors specifically, since that's where ARC teams via Instagram/TikTok are most common. Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's run an ARC team before. What's the most annoying part of the process for you?
