About Pen Pinery
The only ARC platform built exclusively for romance. Not as an afterthought. Not as a category filter. From the ground up.
What is Pen Pinery?
Pen Pinery is an ARC (Advance Review Copy) platform built exclusively for romance. Authors host upcoming romance titles as ARCs, and readers discover, request, download, and review them.
For Authors
Release your romance ARCs, choose your review window, approve reader applications, and collect reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, and more all in one place.
For Readers
Browse active romance ARCs, apply for free advance copies from your favorite authors, download accepted books, and leave honest reviews to help stories find their audience.
How It Works
Authors release ARCs
Upload a romance ARC, set the review window, and open applications.
Readers apply
Readers request access to the ARCs they are most excited to read.
Authors approve
Authors accept the right readers, or let trusted readers auto-join.
Readers review
Accepted readers download the ARC and share reviews on major platforms.
Why Romance Only?
Because romance readers are not a niche. They're the most passionate, prolific, and review-hungry readers in publishing, and they deserve a platform that treats them that way.
Pen Pinery doesn't try to be everything for everyone. We do one thing and we do it well: connecting romance authors with romance readers, every single day.
Ready to be part of it?
Whether you write romance or live to read it
