## NetGalley Reviews
  ### 1. Honestly a great way to get ARC of books

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matt P. | Product Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2024

**What do you like best about NetGalley?**

I like how easy it is to sign up. Within just a couple minutes I was signed up and ready to choose books. I'm able to set my preferences and I get an email with new books that might interest me.

**What do you dislike about NetGalley?**

I think their categorization process is flawed. For example a book will be for children, but also categorized as "Literary Fiction". It makes me think marketers are category stuffing to get a broader audience but it makes it harder for reviewers to find books they actually want to read.

**What problems is NetGalley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Net Galley makes it easy for reviewers to connect with publishers to get advance review copies. They'll send ebook versions to reviewers, and if you like the book you can write a review.

  ### 2. NetGalley Books

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kristina B. | Social Worker, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2021

**What do you like best about NetGalley?**

NetGalley is a fantastic platform that connects new and upcoming authors with a reader base. This reader base is able to grow and build a profile that can allow publishers to send early releases of upcoming book releases to. This helps authors build hype for their book on platforms such as Instagram, blogs, Goodreads and Amazon.

**What do you dislike about NetGalley?**

When you're just starting out on NetGalley it can be hard to get many books sent to you since you haven't built up a large presence. This can be discouraging  for readers new to NetGalley.

**What problems is NetGalley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have been able to get some really great books early on releases. This helps build credibility on social media platforms for book bloggers and upcoming authors.
