laura (plotofgold) | 280 comments lol thanksss
review ratios on netgalley is basically how many reviews you wrote out of all your accepted arcs. im trying to get back to 100% but always end up requesting more... that's why it's not really good to impulsively request lol

human (that0nefangirl) | 15694 comments you can check by clicking on your username in the corner (next to 'sign out'). right below your job and company, and what type of reviewer you are, it says
feedback ratio: x
x approved | x feedback sent
Suggested feedback ratio is 80%

like real emails, or just Netgalley requests?


message 1326: by Brooke (new)

Brooke W (thereadersgame) | 4214 comments Emails!!! And then as soon as I hit send, on every one I remember another book I wanted to request smh

I don't have the gut to email a publisher for a copy. maybe I'll do that in the future, but definitely not soon because I have a good amount of ARCs to read.

Brooke W (thereadersgame) | 4214 comments I just got accepted for Malice!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh an LGBT+ retelling!!!!!!!


message 1329: by Susana (new)

Susana (susanalovesbooks) brooke, when you email publishers do you request digital or physical copies? and how often do you get accepted?
congrats on getting approved!! :D


message 1330: by Brooke (new)

Brooke W (thereadersgame) | 4214 comments You just say you're requestimg a copy, not what format. You do send them your address with a note like: Just in case, here's my address

I have only gotten one response saying that the publisher is looking at my request.

Sometimes publishers don't reply and a book just shows up in the mail because they don't have time to respond

Make sure to send your physical address, not P.O. box first, then P.O. if they request it!

I'll link my advice post in a bit :)

i do it kind of differently. i say that i accept both formats (ebook and physical). i also add my stats (followers on all social platforms), and they almost always get back to me!

manni (mannireads) | 345 comments A quick arc/bookstagram question: it is weird to post reviews for arc books that have not been published yet on my bookstagram? Is this considered OK when it comes to advance copies? Or should I just wait until the book is published to post about them? Thanks!


message 1343: by Brooke (new)

Brooke W (thereadersgame) | 4214 comments @Mel

Mmmmmm no


message 1344: by Brooke (new)

Brooke W (thereadersgame) | 4214 comments Manni-

You should definitely post it as soon as you have written the review! Then, on the publishing day, wish the book a happy book birthday!

Some publishers have let me know not to post the review until like the week of publishing, but if the publisher doesn't explicitely tells you not to publish something too early, then I think it's fair game to post the reviews right after reading! :D That's what I do, otherwise I would just forget to publish the reviews and then nobody's happy. :P


message 1350: by erin (new)

erin (erinssss) | 1054 comments soooooo i thought "oooo! i want to try to get a arc thingy' so i was wondering

it says that you have to be over 18 to get netgalley. but im not over 18. so can i still get it?

and also how do you find books and request them on edleweiss. and do you have to be over 18 to get that too? it never asked for my age or anything so im assuming its ok
