Netgalley for peanuts?

I came across a little blog post today which derailed my typical posting schedule because it was important to the pocketbooks of Indie writers. I’ve heard good things about Netgalley’s author promo services helping boost a book’s number of reviews. My publisher for one of my titles had been offering a reduced price for a netgalley promo since they get a bulk rate as a publisher.

It didn’t take much poking around to locate something called a Netgalley Co-op Service. They act as a publisher, get a discounted rate, and can set up a bare-bones kind of package for you to get your title on Netgalley for somewhere in the neighborhood of $50. If you’re considering stepping up your pay-to-play advertisements you should read this blogpost:
