#FAQFRIDAY: What is an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC)? ARC stands for Advance Reader’s Copy – also called an Advanced Reader Copy, Advance Review Copy, etc. – and it’s exactly what it sounds like: The copies of a book a publisher/author passes out (usually for free) before official publication. The goal is to get an author’s book into the hands of key readers – launch team members, librarians, media outlets, book reviewers – so that the author can receive feedback and increase buzz about a title can build before it hits bookstores.

Question: Is there a standard evolving for authors of published (i.e. physical) books who reference online URLs? It feels strange to put QR codes in books, but that seems like the only viable option. A formal bibliography feels superfluous and not very useful. Putting links in context is helpful when reading a blog, for example. But sticking QR codes all over a chapter to accomplish the same thing is downright silly, right? Maybe one QR code at the end of a chapter with all the links referenced there online somewhere for readers to use and interact with them? Then... if you do publish an online version (e.g., Amazon or PDF) as an author, I'll need to maintain two copies of the same book because the links alone will require very different formatting. Interesting, right? Never thought about it. Anyone have other advice that could be helpful?
