An Open Letter to Netgalley and Goodreads
A reblog: there’s also this one:

Dear Netgalley and Goodreads,
Today I discovered that your sites will no longer be providing services (or limiting services) to international readers and I am absolutely devastated.
Contrary to popular belief, America is not the only country in the world.
For those who are unaware of what is happening, Goodreads will, from January 2018, prevent authors from creating giveaways for international readers. Basically, authors will have to pay $119 for a giveaway base package, and $599 for the premium. Previously, all authors had to pay for was shipping. Read more here.
Sad news from @goodreads US Giveaways only from Jan. As a UK based author with readers from all over the world, and a UK reader myself, this is really disappointing.
