ARC Readers Needed: Get a Free Advance Copy of Sweet Land: The Beginning
Are you a fan of historical fiction, family sagas, and stories inspired by the past? Would you enjoy reading a new book before its official release and sharing your honest thoughts with the author?
V S Campbell is looking for advance readers for his upcoming historical novel, Sweet Land: The Beginning, the first book in the Sweet Land Saga.
And you can be among the first to read it.
Read the Book Before Its Official Release
Sweet Land: The Beginning takes readers back to 1830, when two families from very different backgrounds begin journeys that will shape their futures.
One family is made up of German immigrants arriving in Baltimore, hoping to build a new life in America. The other is a Chickasaw family facing the painful reality of removal from Mississippi.
Their stories unfold against the backdrop of a changing America, eventually leading toward the Texas frontier and the Chickasaw Nation in what is now Oklahoma.
It is a story about family, difficult choices, survival, and the paths that bring people together.
The book officially launches on December 15, 2026. However, advance readers have an opportunity to receive their digital copies before the public release.
What Is an ARC Reader?
ARC stands for Advance Reader Copy.
Authors share advance copies with a group of readers before publication. These readers get an early opportunity to experience the book and, if they wish, leave an honest review after finishing it.
For V S Campbell, these reviews are an important way to introduce his work to new readers.
Here is how it works:
Sign up using your name and email address.
Receive your free digital copy by email.
Read the book at your own pace.
Share an honest review on Goodreads after finishing.
Post your review on Amazon after the December 15 launch.
There is no purchase required, no payment information needed, and no obligation to leave a positive review. Honest opinions are always welcome.
A Special Opportunity for New Readers
There is another reason to join the ARC team now.
Everyone who signs up by December 18, 2026, will automatically be entered into a special drawing.
Three winners will have a character named after them in the next book, Sweet Land: Oklahoma.
The drawing will take place on December 20.
You do not need to write a review to qualify. Simply joining the ARC team by the deadline gives you an entry.
Readers From Everywhere Are Welcome
You do not need to live in the United States to participate.
The advance copy is an EPUB digital book, which can be read using Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, and Kindle through Amazon’s Send to Kindle service.
