Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments Guys I found it, what the netgalley email means

I was fillinf up a form from Entangled Publishing, and this was one of the questions:
Your Netgalley Email: *
The same one you use to log in to NetGalley (not the @kindle.com email). If you do not have a NetGalley account sign up here: https://www.netgalley.com/
So we were right!

Yes you can, though there's no guarantee either way

g.vee  (gvesthetic) | 2350 comments Umm ok....thanks
still I am loaded with questions

An ARC is basically a book, but available before release so that people, i.e. readers, out there know it exists and to buy it after it releases. Publishers give out ARCs hoping that when advance reviewers and readers read and review them, more people will find out about the books, resulting in more books sold.

While every publishers criteria differ, on netgalley at least, the best way to get arcs is to have a good social connection, i.e. friends and followers, ability to write reviews and write them regularly and on time, and being able to promote the book (though this is optional, but book blogs, instagram, twitter, facebook and other accounts go a long way in ensuring an arc)


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments if you're on netggalley, i'd suggest going through the pages of different publishers, and seeing what each of them like in their requesters....you'll get a good idea of what you should have to get approved, though those preferences are often overstated

g.vee  (gvesthetic) | 2350 comments Ok, thank you!


message 1870: by g.vee (new)

g.vee  (gvesthetic) | 2350 comments I am not interested in reading ARCs right now, that may be because I have got so much books to read, homework to do all when I am kinda in a reading slump.

stu  (blobmustardsprinkles) | 17961 comments ok!

don't stress Gourica, and don't take on arcs on top of books if you feel like it's too much; you always come first, the books will always be here (now if only i could take my own advice-

Oh my God, hope you enjoy!!I loved that one, but fair warning, the wedding isn't a part of it, but the honeymoon is, and it's a bit different from what i'd expected after reading the synopsis
