Dear Author goes to digital Author Review Copies

From GalleyCat:

Remember a few weeks back when we agitated for more digital ARCs for book reviewers? Jane Litte of Dear Author emailed us recently to discuss her blog’s new policy: "In an effort to encourage publishers to make cost efficient advance copies available to bloggers, Dear Author will be giving review priority to any review copy sent in digital form in advance of publication," Little says. "Any finished print copies provided to Dear Author will not likely be read/reviewed until 1-2 months after publication date."

"We encourage bloggers and authors to push for digital arcs in this time of declining ARC production," Litte adds—referring to reports circulating earlier this month that several publishers are reducing the number of books for which they will print ARCs and/or reduce the number of bloggers to whom they will send those galleys.
