Send a direct offer to an eligible reader and follow whether it is accepted or declined.

Direct ARC offers let an eligible Author workspace offer a book to a reader without asking them to complete a public request form first.
Choose the book and reader, check the offer details, and send it. Follow the offer from the offer tracker while it is pending. The reader can accept or decline from their Reading Desk.
When a reader accepts, ARC Library can carry the offer information into their Add Book flow. Acceptance still does not deliver the actual file or physical copy; the author or campaign team remains responsible for fulfilment.
Direct offers require Author Pro and the appropriate workspace permission.
