"THANK YOU, Kristina! Your care and attention TRULY lives up to your ‘Community Concierge’ title." -Kantha, Food Processing/Wellness Foods Magazine
"I've come to the conclusion that NetGalley is very bad for me…because it's REALLY like a little kid in a candy store…I cannot possibly review all the titles I request…but my willpower is NONEXISTENT!" -Thea, Reviewer for The Book Smugglers
"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your service. NetGalley is a wonderful collection development tool for my staff, and I check for interesting titles every day." -Melinda A. Brown, Head of Reference Services at
North Suffolk Library
"Loving working with you guys. One of the best investments we've made." -Charles, Melville House Publishing
"What fun!! To have access to the IndieNext picks on NetGalley puts the project over the top. I was excited before, now I'm ecstatic! Am waiting for my wireless Kobo so I can download easier and hit the ground running." -Nancy Simpson, Book Vault
"Net Galley is the greatest service since delivered milk. I don’t know how publishers can avoid using you. I can’t imagine the money you save for them, not to mention the wives like mine who hate to see galleys pile up in a writer’s office. Can I be your poster boy????" -Mike Michelsen, Freelance Writer
Author Carla Killough McClafferty wrote a nice article for SCWBI explaining how NetGalley is a wonderful tools for both authors and publishers. See p. 33 of the PDF linked here: link

"this.is.fabulous.
Thanks so much for your help and for the very supportive instruction document. I have followed the directions (leaning on the images,) and I now have access to those books on my iPad. THANKS.
Please share with your colleagues or your supervisor that your customer support for NetGalley has been excellent.
- You not only responded promptly,
- but you knew the answer, and
- you were able to communicate some complex steps very clearly.
I am a professional educator, and I know the value of EACH of those three steps. I am impressed that NetGalley cares enough to provide such support. Thank you!"—Janie Pickett
"I would also just like to say thanks to you and NetGalley, your service is absolutely wonderful and gives us online reviewers an amazing opportunity to read books that we might not normally have a chance to see in advance of publication."—Rachel
"I love Net Galley! Being a bookseller, this really helps me in recommending books to customers and knowing they'll be happy with their purchase. Net Galley works wonderfully with my Nookcolor as well so that makes it so convenient." —Rachel Shell Vance, via NetGalley Facebook Page
"I absolutely LOVE Netgalley. I have been reviewing for years on my blog but it has never been as easy as it is now. I feel like I can connect with the publisher better, have all the information at my finger tips, and then carry the book in such a compact way on my Kindle. LOVE, LOVE Netgalley! Thank you for being a green way to review books! " —Rachael Williams Coe, via NetGalley Facebook Page
"I've been a member of NetGalley for, hmm, more than a year, forget exactly how long...I wanted to congratulate you and your associates on your dogged persistence. I think that NetGalley is a great service. It's well-organized and easy to use. It succeeds by the key metric of 'let's do it on the web': it makes an ungainly task...gainly?...well, much simpler and more effective, improving things both for publishers and reviewers. Thank you. Just that. Thanks!"—Thad McIlroy, The Future of Publishing
"I just wanted you to know that I think NetGalley is a terrific idea, and I'm doing all I can to promote it. It’s good for book bloggers, and good for writers. Making ARCs available to more reviewers will help books find their readers. I believe that if more publishers sign up for NetGalley, fewer good books will slip through the cracks. As soon as I found out my book Tyger Tyger was on NetGalley, I contacted 400 book bloggers to let them know that it was available. Over 300 replied, and many requested it. NetGalley was generating reviews, interview requests and positive buzz before the paper ARCs even went out. At first, few of the bloggers I contacted said they had heard of you. Things have been changing lately. More and more bloggers are replying that they know of/use NetGalley! Hurray!"
—Kersten Hamilton, author of Tyger Tyger, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
"I wanted to write you quick and tell you how much I am loving NetGalley. I was kind of skeptical at first, I'm not one to read books on the computer, I would rather have the real thing in my hand. But after I downloaded the Free Adobe Digital Editions program to read the books on, I was surprised! It is just like having my own book, but it is on the computer. You read it just like a normal book, it kind of reminds me of a Book Nook.. I also love how I can read books right away without having to wait for them to come in the mail!! This is a great site! Thanks so much!!"
—Trisha of Trisha's Book Blog, @trishalynn0708
"NetGalley is a dream website for novice book reviewers like myself. Since the day I registered, major book publishers have granted me access to some wonderful upcoming releases and helped me to build up a portfolio of reviews. It is wonderful to have access to eARCs from high-profile publishers like Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McArthur and Company, Harlequin, et al."
—Meredith of Meredith Dias, @meredithdias
"I am a NetGalley user and just successfully put 4 galleys on my I-Touch using the Bluefire app! I just wanted to tell you how excited I am to finally be able to read e-books on my I-Touch - well done. And, they are easy to read - I was worried about how accessible it would be compared to the print version - but it's all good. Very cool app and very cool addition to NetGalley - I can't wait to get reading!" —Paula Geglein
"I love your site! I love the way I can read books through my Kindle, post my reviews, have access to the publishers if I have a question... I think it's cutting edge and as much as I love a "real" book I think this is truly a more economical and smart way to go for everyone involved. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"—Stacy of A Novel Source
"I was exploring NetGalley last night and I am in love with it! It is so nice to be able to read ahead titles that are being published -- especially in the Teen genre. And logging in to NetGalley makes it that much easier for me to track! Thanks again for making my week!"
—Amanda Tehonica, Reference/Teen Librarian, Flower Memorial Library
I love the new layout and ease of access. I already adore NetGalley, this makes me love it even more."—Monica S. of Bibliophilic Book Blog, @bibliophilicboo
"I am so excited about your website! What a marvelous idea! I have a Nook and I find that I much rather enjoy reading on the Nook than the printed counterpart. It's just more convenient and I end up reading way more books, since I end up taking my Nook everywhere. Plus, I am quickly running out of room for the traditional ARCs. Brilliant idea!"—Deborah Neff
"Thanks for all your hard work! It really makes my job easier!"—Susan Cole, DearReader.com
"I have been a member for just 24 hours and I LOVE your site! I have already been sent four books and am halfway through the first! This is awesome!"—Sarah Weiss, Rockwell City Public Library
"It's a great service, especially for us new book bloggers who are starting out and find it difficult to come by ARC's or pre-release books for review. Also, this is open internationally, which is great. Sometimes our resources, as book bloggers, are very limited in comparision to our American friends."—Leanna of Daisy Chain Book Reviews, @daisychainbooks
"Harlequin on NetGalley is a meeting of digital brilliance in one location…there is no better audience for digital books and the instant enjoyment of digital reading than romance readers…We are the digital readers that publishers are looking for – and we’re not that hard to find, thanks to NetGalley."—Sarah of Smart Bitches Trashy Books, @SmartBitches
"Harlequin joining NetGalley is exciting news…From what I’ve seen Harlequin has been embracing digital technology…Romance is a popular genre, it will be popular in the physical form and in the digital form."—Janice of janicu’s book blog, @janicu
"I was very excited when I learned Harlequin would be offering its galleys digitally through NetGalley...With the Harlequin galleys available digitally, it will reduce the negative impact on the environment and increase efficiencies for reviewing teams. Many review blogs are comprised of individuals located all over the US and often, even international locales. Digital galleys allow the review blogs to divert their time and attention to actually reading the books instead of focusing on the ministerial aspect of allocation of books. It’s a win all the way around and I laud Harlequin for taking the opportunities that NetGalley is providing."—Jane Litte of Dear Author, @dearauthor
"NetGalley is amazing an site and I am so very glad you exist! Without you, the fledgling book review blogger wouldn't have the stepping stones you provide. I <3 that when @CarinaPress & @NetGalley teamed up, they made it about the readers!! DRM free galleys! Thank you! It makes it easier to read! To review. To spread the word."—Natasha A., @natashaw1
"Many thanks for this great service - it's everything an ereader user could wish for."
—Karen Meek, @eurocrime
"I'm really impressed with NetGalley's great responsiveness to questions and concerns; I think this site will go far!"—Zoë, LibraryThing
"As an International Book Blogger and Avid Book Lover I have to say that Net Galley changed my life. It is really hard for us Bloggers that don't live in the U.S. and Canada or any English speaking countries, to get a chance to receive and read ARCs. Net Galley has changed that and because of this great site I have been able to read so many amazing titles from my favorite authors before they came out and I have been able to read and find out about some great new authors as well."
—Larissa Benoliel, of Larissa's Bookish life, @larissa_sarah
"I love how NetGalley's staff is very active in the Twitter community and blogosphere to address people's questions and concern! Not only that but they have a great selection of books available to review."—The Book Vixen, @thebookvixen
"I just wanted to say YAY for HarperCollins signing up with you. E-ARCs are so much easier to manage and there's no issues of what to do with the bks when you're finished. Thanks for providing this great service!"—Kay Smith, via NetGalley Facebook Page
"NetGalley is a perfect blend of books and service-- especially when I'm on a short deadline. The variety and quality is great. As a reader and reviewer, I couldn't ask for a better provider. Thanks."—Pat Cooper, via NetGalley Facebook Page
"First off - I have to say, thank you so much for offering such wonderful books! I've never been a big fan of e-books but you guys have totally turned me around. So much so that I'm looking into buying an e-reader. The folks that work at NetGalley are helpful, friendly and super cool! Thank you so so much! I love NetGalley!"—Emily, aka WilowRaven of Red House Books, @WilowRedHouse
"I LOVE LOVE LOVE NetGalley. I now always have a book in my hand wherever go and whenever I want. I also really enjoy being the first to read a book and then selling it to others."
—Annie Oswald, Media Products Director/Rights Manager, Franklin Covey
"I have been reviewing e-books for about a year at www.nightowlreview.com and was very excited to hear that the netgalley was available to me. What an exciting opportunity to reach out to and make new contacts with so many publishing houses. The addition of Carina Press and Harlequin to the galley really sealed the deal for me to become a member. I just love the opportunity to review works from new and aspiring authors. Keep up the great work!."
—Delenn on www.nightowlreview.com
"Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say that since I was first told about NetGalley, I've been making fantastic use of it and it's changed the way that I'm able to run my bookblog. The amount of reading material that NetGalley has opened up to me, books that I may not otherwise have even learned about, let alone been given the chance to read freely, is astounding; I can't thank you enough for giving so many people such wonderful chances! With your help, I've been able to not only help promote some awesome books to those who read my blog, but also to connect more with the authors themselves, which is something that is absolutely priceless to me. I fully intend to keep using NetGalley until the very end!"—Ria from tea-and-tomes.blogspot.com, @Tea_and_Tomes
"I have found NetGalley very easy to use and since I am not the most computer savy person, I know that's saying a lot :) The ease in which I can share my reviews with the publishers is nice. I like the way all my requested titles are listed so there is no chace that anything can fall through the cracks. Very nice for someone who reads as much as I do. NetGalley has made requesting titles for review a pleasure. One that I look forward to :)"—Romance Reader, www.seriouslyreviewed.com
"NetGalley is fantastic! I had become completely overrun with ARCs, but now I choose just a few choices to review on my blog (www.athirstyblog.com) and my library shelves are staying so much neater these days! A Great Concept!" —Pam Headrick, via NetGalley Facebook Page
