At Expound Publicity, we always tell our authors that tactics in their marketing plan should do the following:

Did you know that there’s one service that checks all 3 boxes? 🤯

NetGalley is a website that provides an opportunity to distribute books in all stages of production (pre-publication or post-publication) to readers of influence. With a built-in member base of 650,000 book advocates, NetGalley connects authors with reviewers, librarians, booksellers, media and educators who discover new books on NetGalley and recommend them to their audiences.

How does it work?
Because NetGalley is a member-based platform, marketing agencies like Expound Publicity can use their membership to benefit clients by making their book available for NetGalley members to request through secure digital files. Members then download, read, submit, and share their feedback on a book, which often gets placed on GoodReads and Amazon listings. Many members also opt in for one click sharing, which automatically pushes their NetGalley reviews out to their social media accounts, creating even more exposure. 

How can NetGalley help authors?

• Reach new audiences
• Increase visibility for titles
• Engage librarians and booksellers who make buying decisions
• Receive reader feedback
• Drive online reviews and buzz
• Discover early trends
• Establish credibility through thorough reviews

NetGalley is a booktacular platform that we love and recommend. Whether you are prepping for a book launch, recently released a book or simply want to revive an older publication, feel free to reach out to us for more information on how Expound Publicity and NetGalley can help you!
