The Hidden Gems ARC program is opt-in, as we don’t want to bother our entire subscriber base with any extra emails than necessary. As well, we only send out ARC offers of each particular book genre to those that have indicated an interest in those genres. The currently available list of ARC genres is:
- Romance
- Erotica
- Mystery
- Science Fiction
- Fantasy
- Thriller/Suspense
- Horror
- Humor/Satire
- Young Adult
- Self-Help
- Cookbooks
- General Non-Fiction
- Women’s Literature
- Faith/Spirituality
- Children’s Books
- General Fiction
You choose your genres when you sign up to the ARC program, but you can change those selections at any time via your Dashboard. Simply scroll to the bottom, alter the genre selection checkboxes and then click the Update My Genre Preferences button.
Your dashboard also allows you to change other preferences, like how you want your reminders sent, whether you want to receive our romance newsletter, whether you want the EPUB/MOBI file emailed to you directly (instead of a link to download), and other notification settings. These can be altered at the bottom of your dashboard as well, and will be saved when you click the Update My Email Preferences button.
Remember, if you’ve opted into the ARC program, you can expect emails from us about upcoming books looking for readers in those genres. If a book doesn’t interest you, just ignore the email and you won’t be bothered about that particular book again. However, if you do sign up for that book and are selected, you will receive important additional emails about that book so please make sure to read them.
Note: To unsubscribe entirely from Hidden Gems, just click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any ARC sign-up email we’ve sent you.
