Kensington’s approval preferences for NetGalley
Kensington reserves the right to accept or decline requests on a case by case basis.
**Please note that Kensington is using NetGalley for publicity and marketing purposes only.**
Your request will likely be approved:
• if you already receive printed galleys from Kensington.
• if you are a regular reviewer and you include information about the publications you review for as well as links to some recent reviews
• if you are a librarian who includes information about your ALA membership or other supporting material in your bio
Regarding bloggers:
• Blog should be updated daily or almost daily and have a significant number of followers
• Blog content must be relevant to the book being requested (e.g., a science fiction blogger requesting a literary novel or a YA site requesting a political nonfiction title is unlikely to be approved)
• Requesters *must* include a link to their website/blog
• Requesters *must* include information about their “reach.” For example: the number of unique visitors or how many comments are posted each month, the number of Twitter/Facebook followers, or how many reviews are posted each week.
• Requesters should have *above average means of spreading the word about books*. (Reviews on sites such as LibraryThing, GoodReads, and Amazon/BN.com are not sufficient.)
