Simplify Your ARC Management

Nope! Pen Pinery has no subscriptions at all — you only pay for the ARC campaigns you want to run. Many competitors lock you into monthly fees whether you use them or not, but here you buy ARC Credits as you need them. That means zero ongoing costs and total control over your budget.

ARC credits are used to start and manage your Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) at Pen Pinery. Each credit allows you to create a new ARC, which gives you access to tools for managing readers, acquiring reviews, and building your reader base.

An ARC credit enables you to start a new ARC for your book. Once you've used a credit, you gain access to all the tools to manage your ARC, track readers, acquire reviews, and communicate directly with your community of readers.

No, ARC credits do not expire. Once you purchase them, they are saved to your account indefinitely, so you can use them whenever you're ready to start a new ARC.

You can purchase more ARC credits through your Pen Pinery account. Simply visit the purchase page, select the number of credits you want to buy, and complete your transaction.

No, ARC credits are only valid for starting a new ARC. Once an ARC is created for a book, you cannot reuse the same credit for the same book. However, you can purchase additional credits to create new ARCs for future books.

The timeline for your ARC is entirely flexible and up to you. You can choose to open applications for your ARC for as long as you need—whether that's a few weeks, several months, or even longer. You can also pause and restart the ARC process as necessary. Each credit you purchase corresponds to one ARC, which means you can manage your timeline and the number of readers for each book release according to your specific needs and goals.
