How to Follow Up With ARC Readers Using Pen Pinery

Getting your book into readers’ hands is exciting, but that’s only part of the journey. The next step is helping those readers share their thoughts in a review. A thoughtful follow-up can make all the difference, and Pen Pinery gives you a simple way to do it.

Every author on Pen Pinery has a personal blog. Whenever you post there, your followers get a notification right away. It’s one of the easiest ways to reach your ARC readers after they’ve downloaded your book. Think of it as your space to check in with them, keep them updated, and gently remind them to review.

Here are a few ideas for what to post:

• Review reminders: Send a friendly note to readers who’ve finished your book, encouraging them to leave a review. A direct link or short instruction can make it even easier.

• Thank-you messages: Take a moment to thank your ARC readers. Showing appreciation goes a long way and helps build lasting reader relationships.

• Behind-the-scenes posts: Share what inspired your book, a challenge you overcame while writing, or something fun about the story. It gives readers more to connect with.

• Book updates: Let your ARC readers know about your release date, preorder links, or upcoming titles. Keeping them informed helps turn them into long-term supporters.

• Shareable moments: Ask readers to post their favorite quotes or scenes on social media and tag you. Even though they can’t comment on your blog right now, they can still engage with you elsewhere.

A few short updates over time work better than one long post. The important thing is to stay in touch and make readers feel involved. When they feel appreciated and connected, they’re more likely to leave that review that helps your book reach more people.
