Hey book bestie Reader
If you use NetGalley, you probably know the emotional roller coaster...
You find an ARC you REALLY want.
You hit Request.
You wait.
And then...
DECLINED. 😭
I’ve been using NetGalley since 2020, and trust me, getting approved did not happen overnight.
But after years of reviewing, tweaking my profile, and figuring out what actually seems to matter, I’ve now been approved for 100+ NetGalley books.
So I decided to put everything I’ve learned into one guide.
📚 What Actually Helps You Get Approved?
There isn’t some magical trick that guarantees publishers will say yes.
Different publishers are looking for different things.
But there ARE things you can do to make your reviewer profile stronger and give publishers a better reason to approve your requests.
And some of them are surprisingly simple.
👀 What I Wish I Knew When I Started
In the guide, I’m sharing the things I would focus on if I were starting NetGalley all over again today.
We’re talking about:
✨ What to put in your NetGalley profile
📖 How to make it immediately clear what kind of reviewer you are
📱 Why your blog, Bookstagram, Goodreads, or other platforms matter
💭 What you should know about your feedback ratio
👀 And the habits that helped me go from struggling for approvals to regularly receiving ARCs
📖 Want More NetGalley Approvals?
If you’ve been wondering why publishers keep declining your requests, start here before requesting your next ARC.

I can’t promise that every publisher is suddenly going to hit Approve.
But I can help you make sure your NetGalley profile is giving you the best chance possible.
Because there is nothing quite like opening your email and seeing...
Your request has been approved. 😏📚
