What happens once your title is on Netgalley?
Xpresso Book Tours will take care of all of the technical administrative tasks, including weeding through review requests for you.
How review requests are handled:
Xpresso Book Tours carefully manages all review requests for each title. Every request is reviewed to ensure the reviewer is active and engaged. Factors we consider include:
- Request-to-review ratio (statistic seen on Netgalley)
- Activity on review platforms (personal blogs, Goodreads, Amazon, etc.)
- Follower count, in some cases
Our goal is to prioritize genuine reviewers. As such, reviewers with strong stats or a recent history of active reviews are approved. Additionally, some readers are pre-approved based on their positive track record with our previous titles.
Even after your book is archived, reviews can still be submitted and remain visible indefinitely. You’ll also receive a report listing everyone who downloaded a copy, giving you full insight into your book’s readership.
