NetGalley Addicts Support Group discussion

Here is where you can share usful tips with the group. You can share tips about leaving feedback on Netgalley, how to build up your ratio, tips on getting approved from a publisher, and more.

Does anyone have any tips so I can get approved for more books since I am not a blogger or a librarian or work for a book company? I only joined Net Galley a couple of weeks ago so I am a newbie there. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe try and find something you like under Read Now.......review it and keep trying. The more reviews you do the better your chances are of getting approved.....my opinion anyway.

Thanks I will keep that in mind. I did go back onto the site and did another sweep of titles so that I could broaden my chance of getting accepted for a book or two and was able to get access to 3 new books. Appreciate the tip!! Happy Reading.

I don't blog and only review on Amazon and Goodreads. I would say the same as others have suggested; when I started on NetGalley I took some 'read now' titles to boost my profile and I probably got accepted for about 50% of titles - now it more like 85%. Be patient and build your profile up. Also, many publishers like you to review on Amazon.com so, even though I am in the UK, I began to post reviews there too.

I agree with the others. I only joined a few months ago but I read books from Read Now and i keep my read/reviewed percenatge above 80%. I only request books i really want to read and now get way more approvals than declines.

Saw somewhere in discussion (can't find the thread now) that there is a NetGalley setting where you can choose to automatically send ALL of your approved titles to Kindle.
Does anyone know how to activate this feature?

Lynne: I don't think that there is such a setting. I remember a thread where someone had said it would be a good idea but I don't think that it exists as of yet.

Can anyone help me learn how to upload the first page of the book? This is a requirement on other folders and I'm not sure how to do it

Do you mean to show the cover in a Goodreads conversation?

Help please. I was updating my Netgalley profile page and accidentally deleted my Amazon link from the places I review list. Now I can't remember where I go on Amazon to copy it from....

Easiest way I know of is once you're logged in:

Go to https://www.amazon.com/gp/yourstore/
Then directly above where it says "Recommended for you, (your name)" you'll see a set of links (first link is "Your Amazon.com")
The second to last one is "Your Profile"
Click that and that will take you to your profile.

Lol under your account, go to manage your content and devices. Then click on devices near the top. Click on whichever device has your kindle app. It will have your kindle email address there!

Good luck Sandy!💕

I can download my books okay. On my Netgalley profile where it asks where I review my books....I have lost the link to my Amazon account.

Ohhhh!! 😂

When you are logged into Amazon go up to the search box and type in " my reviews" . You willl see a box at the top of the page that says your Amazon product reviews. Then click on manage your reviews. Your Public profile should come up!

Hope that helps. Call me up and I will walk you through it. You can laugh at my accent at the same time!😂😂💕

Anywhere I could get tips on how to navigate book? I can’t go back from where I’m reading to shelf. Help!!
