It is really nice to be able to keep them!

[Dana]

I agree, the new Netgalley font doesn't look great. Also if you download a read now with a different country code nothing changes. I do it all the time (because I am a bad ass clearly) :P

[Tati]

Sarah, wasn't it you that was told off because you downloaded a title for a different country?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, I was approved for one (before the flags) and then got told off for downloading it because I wasn't in the US and had broken their territory rights. Got a right telling off from the pubicist when it was her who had approved me! Got told that because I was the one who had actually downloaded it I was the one in the wrong!

[Dana]

Wow Ive been lucky, never had any issues. I also have occasionally been approved for US books(I live in Canada)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I was not impressed. believe me.

[Jennifer]

Re: netgalley. i just assumed that if it is a "read now" then I can click on it regardless of what country it is marked for.

Then why did they approve you in the first place?!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That was my question. they obviously didn't read my profile as it clerly says that I am in the UK.

Not really true. If you click the 'read now' and it is not listed as for your country, you are in theory breaking the publishers territory rights, and they don't take kindly to that. I wouldn't risk it personally, especially not after the telling off i got before.

I don't do "read now" that often. And most of the ones I've seen don't specify the country. I live in Canada and have been approved for titles from publishers in the UK before (for example).

I really feel like if they don't want people to click on the "read now" then they shouldn't put it there in the first place (or mark that people not in the country should not click on the book).

Okay. I won't do it then! I really wanted Red Rising but I don't want to risk breaking the law or whatever.

Good job. Congrats!

Opps, I downloaded Red Rising and I am from the US. I thought that books marked as read now were open game. Hopefully I won't get into too much trouble. Maybe I just won't review it and hopefully they won't notice.....

Maybe just don't read it and instead of a review just message them saying it was accident and you are really sorry and have deleted off your kindle and all that. :)

[Tati]

That strange feeling when you only have 9 ARCs to read. It's been a while since I've had that few

Well done! :)

I would say that this is a perfect opportunity to read it :) After all the review will be posted on the Internet, so worldwide support. At least this is how I see it.

[Tati]

Sadly, that's not how it works in real life... You can get in trouble for doing that.

[Irene]

"Members in US are preferred.
Out-of-region requests will likely be declined due to territory rights."
This is what it says on my page.
IMO they should either decline, make it "read now" to specific countries or simple just write "Only for members in the US" or something like that. Preferred. What kind of word is that! That's just my opinion though.

And yay Tatiana! :D I was there, but I'm up to 11 again..... Haha :D

[Liz's Book Bucket List]

I just looked it up on Netgalley and it says if it is 'read now' any Netgalley member can read that book. So I'm not worried about it and am just going to read & review it : )

Hmm, I just took a look at the terms of use, but couldn't find it. Whre did you find it? :)

[Liz's Book Bucket List]

It is at the very bottom of the Netgalley main page under 'Meet' and it is the 'Get Help' section. Here is the link to it:

http://netgalley.uservoice.com/knowle...

This link also says that you can request books out of region and it is up to the publisher to approve you or not so I am thinking if you do get approved, it would be the publishers fault.

Thanks :) I found the latter myself though :)

[Melek]

I don't know if it was ever mentioned, but The Hit by Allen Zadoff is still on NetGalley. (https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...) Anyone up for a buddy read nowadays?

[Irene]

Okay, so I wrote Netgalley about the territory rights etc, and here is what I asked and what they said:

I'm a bit confused towards the territory rights.
If a title is available as Read Now, but says:
"Members in Australia are preferred.
Out-of-region requests will likely be declined due to territory rights."
-Does that mean I can legally download, read and review the book even though I'm not in Australia? (Australia's an example here)
If I request a book that is "Australia are preferred," but I still get accepted, can I legally download, read and review that book?
Thanks in advance,
Irene

Hi Irene - That messaging on the title page is referring to actually Requesting the title. Since most publishers have rights for a title in a particular territory, that means they can't always approve readers outside of that territory. BUT, if you are accepted then you're certainly welcome to download and read the title since the publisher gave you permission by approving your request.

-I asked them on facebook, but am not sure if you can see the link :) https://www.facebook.com/NetGalley/po...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

hmm, maybe they should tell Merit Press that then. they're quite happy to shift the blame if their territory rights are breached, even if it was them who approved you.

Yeah, sounds like they should take a look at the terms of use :|

How do you write a good BIO for netgalley when your getting declined.

[Katie]

I usually just include as many numbers as possible. Number of followers on all sites, page views, things like that. A lot of publishers say to have your email set so they can view it as well, and I mention where I post reviews (here and my blog, but also shared on Twitter).

If you're getting denied I would look at your ratio as well and see if that's it. I've found that I normally get denied because of it.

[rachel, x]

@Marlleyy I just have my overall number of followers (I add them all up together) and where I post my reviews i.e. my blog, here, Amazon, Leafmarks, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook etc. If you are getting denied a lot than, like Katie said, its probably your ration is really low. Have you checked? If its anything below 60% I doubt you'll get approved for anything.

[Tati]

Is it the same publisher that denies you?

The numbers help, but I don't think the ration is that important... WHen I was around 60% is when I got the more approvals.

[Katie]

Really Tatiana? My experience was the complete opposite so that's interesting! I felt like when I got down to about 60% I was never approved! except sometimes by the smaller publishers sometimes.

[Tati]

When I was around 60%, I got really anticipated books, such as Heir of Fire, Black Ice, Trial by Fire, Dangerous Boys and Killer Instinct.

Now, though, I'm finding NetGalley to be really slow, both in title addition and approval decisions.

[Katie]

Yeah it has definitely been slow. It's kept me from requesting so much, though!

[Jackie - Fire & Ice Book Reviews]

When I was at like 40% I got approved for mostly everything. I agree they are pretty slow right now. I wonder why.

[Jennifer]

I don't think that your ratio is what helps you get approved. Netgalley says it play a big part. But I know a lot of people whose percentage is quite low and who get approved for a lot of stuff.

My percentage is now finally at 90% and I have been getting declined a lot.

I just received an email that invited me to read since the publisher is in my favorites. I'm so excited! I had no idea they did this and I was denied, so I thought I would have to wait until release :)

[Kate]

I got that email too! I was denied for it when I requested it too, so I'm really excited to read it!

I'm just about to read it now. I'll probably spend the rest of the night reading it :)

I didnt even know about the fav publisher thing! /sulks in corner

I'm sorry! I was shocked to see the email.

I received the same email Katie, except I was invited to read:

So, question.

When I Hunt Killers went Read Now on Netgalley, I added it and requested its sequel and finale. I receieved both Book 1 and 3 but denied book 2.

Now Game (book 2) is Read Now and it's been added to my Netgalley shelf, but I can't download it because it still says request declined.. that's not fair.

[Katie]

Not sure why my last post messed up, but I said that I was invited for the rest as well, but didn't accept them. Thinking of accepting Etta and Otto and Russell and James but I'm still deciding.

I wonder why they would deny you for book 2 if they gave you the rest? I've never had the problem with the declined switching to read now so I have no idea if there's a solution :(
