Publishers and authors rely on reviews and Feedback to better promote and sell their books. Many reviewers, for instance, use NetGalley to preview books for interviews, blog tours, or other events.
Please refer to our NetGalley Review Guidelines and check out ways that Reviewers can provide meaningful Feedback:
