Digital Review Copies (DRCs)
Digital review copies (DRCs) are an excellent way for small presses to create new relationships with book buyers, generate reviews and award nominations, encourage ordering, and so much more!
With an Edelweiss review copy subscription, you can—
- Incorporate review copies into your sales communications so that book buyers can review titles prior to purchase
- Share review copies with contact lists and include them in email, web, and social media marketing initiatives
- Customize DRC approval messages to include a call-to-action (review, nomination, purchase, etc.)
- Expand your reach to new audiences of 240,000+ book professionals in Edelweiss*
*New digital review copies are listed in our weekly greeting newsletter that goes out to over 70,000 subscribers for free, and each new digital review copy is added to our Edelweiss Reader for easy access.
