What is NetGalley?
NetGalley allows publishers to securely promote their titles to readers who influence buying decisions.
Publishers can give reviewers, journalists, librarians, booksellers, educators and media professionals access to DRM-secured digital files for their forthcoming titles
Members can leave reviews and feedback on NetGalley, and publishers can use in-depth reporting to gauge a title’s performance
Book discovery begins here.

3. How does NetGalley work?
Members can search for titles or browse by publisher, category, favourite publishers, featured titles and most recently added
Members request titles and publishers can decide whether to approve or decline them
NetGalley provides meaningful information about the member so publishers can make an informed decision as to whether to grant access or not
Members can download to all reading devices, tablets, smartphones, laptops and Kindles – all securely protected with native DRM, meaning they cannot be shared, printed or otherwise disseminated

4. How does NetGalley work?
Publishers can invite key contacts to view titles using a secure widget
You can approve up to 4,000 people with just one link
To access the title, contacts need to have a NetGalley account, which is free and easy to set up.
Members also receive s and newsletters drawing attention to new forthcoming titles
Publishers can create their own eblast for one or more of their titles, or submit their titles for a genre-specific newsletter (paid service)

5. How members find titles
Browse and request:
By favorite category
By favorite publishers
Titles that are READ NOW
Can request a digital galley
Be invited via a widget
Directly from the publisher for a public or private title
Receive special offers via (and in their account)

6. How to approve or decline
Different ways to sort based on your own personal activity with the member; their overall influence and activity on the site and how other publishers interact with them, and credentials like an ALA or ABA member number. Also highlight the detailed activity report here, so that the information “keeps on giving” for future titles.

16. Engage your best contacts first with the widget

19. Schedule Requests by Member Type
Just as you send out print galleys at different times (booksellers typically receive galleys months before bloggers), NetGalley offers similar functionality!
Allow requests for one member type; some member types; or all.
I would skip this slide unless it is a core customer/advanced customer.
