Many publishers share NetGalley request links and widgets with their authors so they can help promote their titles to reviewers, librarians, booksellers, educators, and other industry contacts.
Below is sample language you can customize and send to your authors. We recommend including both a NetGalley Widget and a Request Link, along with links to helpful resources such as the NetGalley website, blog, and social channels.
Dear [Author],
Did you know that we've uploaded your title to NetGalley?
NetGalley connects publishers and authors with an engaged community of readers and industry professionals who help build early buzz for new books. Members can request digital review copies, read them before publication, and share reviews with their audiences.
We've uploaded your title, along with its marketing information, so members can discover and request it through the NetGalley catalog. Digital review copies can be read in the NetGalley Reader or Shelf App, downloaded to a supported device, or sent directly to select eReaders. Members can also access the title's Press Kit, which may include marketing materials, author bios, Q&As, cover images, book trailers, event information, and more.
NetGalley members include reviewers, media professionals, booksellers, librarians, educators, and other publishing professionals.
