Netgalley anyone?

[James Marinero]

Just wondering if anyone here has had experience of using Netgalley and what the outcomes were?

It's not cheap (all things are relative I know) and we've just put my latest book 'Cause of All Causes' on there. So far it's been encouraging(?) with 7 cover likes and 50 download requests for review. Of course, I haven't seen the reviews yet...

Too rich for my blood.

I came across this thread about NetGalley the other day (when I should have been writing!), which discusses the pros and cons of their service:

Thanks @Paul Whybrow. We don't get involved with the Netgalley interface which is a bit clunky. @Carol Rose - Members of the Independent Book Publishers Association enjoy (!) reduced rates, expensive subscriptions to Netgalley are not required. We're still trying to build profile and gain exposure and this seems like a good way. Time will tell if the experiment works.
