Open Open ARCs & Teams from Discover to see available ARC campaigns, PR campaigns, and team applications in one place. Catalogue is the neighbouring destination for public Books, Authors, and Narrators. My Teams remains your private team workspace.
Choose For You to rank the complete set of available calls using genres and tropes saved in your reading profile. Every recommendation reason names the matching genre or trope. Choose Edit reading tastes to change those preferences. Application form answers such as favorite tropes stay separate and are not changed by discovery.
Use call type, format, language, deadline, team type, verified author, or search filters to narrow the list. Missing language metadata appears as Unknown instead of being guessed. Active filters remain visible as removable chips.
New opportunities rise to the top of their hosted or external section. Choose New since your last visit to see only those additions. Opening the page clears the red navigation dot, while the New labels stay visible until you leave so you can finish reviewing the current visit.
Apply in ARC Library appears first and contains applications hosted inside ARC Library. External forms appears below it for applications hosted elsewhere. Each group keeps its own pages, so browsing one never hides or interrupts the other. On a large screen, four columns keep both groups quick to scan.
Each card keeps its ARC campaign, PR campaign, or Join a team label beneath the artwork so the full cover or team image stays visible.
Verified author means ARC Library has approved the public author identity. Hosted here means the application runs inside ARC Library. A call can show either signal or both. Choose Open application for an external call; following that link does not mark it submitted.
Choose the bookmark to save an opportunity. Saved open opportunities sort by closing date, with opportunities that have no date last. Closed saved opportunities stay in a separate section. Saved and Not interested choices sync through your account, and Undo restores the most recently hidden opportunity. Hiding one does not teach ARC Library that you dislike its genres or tropes.
For a hosted call, choose Apply in ARC Library to use the established application flow. Submitting a reading campaign application creates its linked private Library ARC immediately with Requested status. Later pending, accepted, not selected, withdrawn, and on-hold decisions continue to sync to that Library record. Saving or hiding a call never creates an application, ARC, or team membership.
Tap a cover, team artwork, or title to open the invitation workspace. About keeps the story, your real genre or trope overlaps, content notes, and any reader letter together. Detailed content notes stay hidden until you choose to reveal them. Commitment lists the real eligibility and campaign facts, and Application shows your application or opens the hosted form.
Apply in ARC Library, Open application, or View application remains the main Invitation action for readers with management access too. Authorized editing, archiving, and deletion stay under More actions.
On a phone, the cover and title share a compact row while genres and tropes use the full width below. The action stays above the safe area. On a wider screen, the reading chapters and decision summary flow independently, so the dates, formats, provider, and primary action remain available without stretching the story.
Hosted applications keep unsent answers while you return to another invitation chapter. Nothing is submitted until you choose Send application. After applying, Pending author review remains distinct from Accepted, and your submitted answers become read-only. Accepted campaigns can open their actual linked Library book or team; rejected, withdrawn, on-hold, and other states remain available through the application view.
When a public author page is available, the author name opens it and Follow syncs through your ARC Library account. Applicant letters remain private until you have applied. External forms continue outside ARC Library and ARC Library cannot record their answers or status.
