Everything the ARC services charge for
-
One link, any audience
Word, EPUB or plain text in; we split it into chapters and you check them. Your newsletter and followers go straight in with your private link, or make it public and readers here ask for a place.
-
Read anywhere, marked to every reader
Readers read in their browser on any device, or on their e-reader if you allow it. Every copy carries a hidden mark tied to the reader it went to.
-
See how far they get
Who's reading and how far they've got, chapter by chapter; where readers stall; one-tap reactions; the typos they send.
-
Reminders, sent for you
Readers who haven't started get one nudge, and everyone still reading hears a few days before release.
-
"It's out" in one button
Everyone on the ARC hears where to find the book, and that an honest review is welcome, never required.
-
A team that stays
Everyone you let in stays on your team and can go straight into your next ARC. Their email addresses stay private, with Bervet.

And when it's out, your book has a home
Bervet is built for readers looking for authors they haven't heard of yet. Your book is ready for them.
Your page, your first chapter
Cover, blurb, tropes and your store links, plus a first chapter readers can try free. You see how many finish it, and where the ones who stop leave off.
Readers who follow you
Followers hear when you list a new book or open an ARC. Every book has its own forum thread, where readers talk to you.
The spotlight, first
A newly listed book sits at the top of the home page until the next one arrives (one spotlight per author a month), then joins the shelves.
Nobody judges your taste
Your listing goes up straight away. Automatic checks catch the rule-breakers, and readers can report anything that slips through. You keep every right.
Every book, from plan to launch
Type a book's details once and it walks you through: what to do next, with the tool for it already filled in.
A plan for each book
Formats, ISBNs, sizes, prices, dates, descriptions and store links in one place. Each tool fills itself in from it, and the plan shows the next step until the book is ready to publish.
Your whole catalogue
Bring every book in from a spreadsheet at once, then check each series matches: names, numbers, sizes, covers and store links.
What's working
Visits, store clicks by store and country, how far readers get into chapter 1, and a smart link with a QR code for everything you print.
On your own website
Paste in your chapter 1, a book card, a series or an advance copy sign-up. Readers come through to your page here.
Free tools, start to finish
Calculators, a barcode generator and file checkers. The ones that open your files run in your browser: nothing is uploaded. No AI: nothing here writes or rewrites your words, and your files never go to an AI service.
