NetGalley members are from all over the world, including but not limited to, the United States, Canada, U.K., Australia, other countries in Europe and Asia and more…
NetGalley is a great way to get exposure and reviews for your book so you can then make sales on the other bookstores you sell the book at. You will receive a report at the end of the listing that details who requested your book, feedback received, an overall snapshot of how many people visited your book, how many requested it and other opinion answers that might be left.
People must be a member of NetGalley to request a review copy. The pdf or epub file would be uploaded to NetGalley and then booksellers, librarians, media professional, educators and reviewers would have access to request the book while it’s live for requests. The book will then archive for requests, but would still remain on NetGalley for reviews to be left. NetGalley puts their own DRM security feature on the file, so it can’t be copied, shared or redistributed. If someone downloads the file directly to their phone, tablet or computer, the file will expire and can’t be opened after 90 days. If someone sends it to their kindle directly from NetGalley, it can remain there indefinitely or until they delete it from their kindle, but it can never be copied or shared.
