## Summary

NetGalley lists your digital review copy for its professional members to request; you approve readers and see feedback and reports. A direct per-title listing is aimed at self-published authors and small presses, while resellers and author co-ops offer shorter, cheaper listings but control the listing and support. Reviews may land on NetGalley, Goodreads or Amazon, and none are guaranteed. Under Amazon's rules a free copy is fine only if a review is not required or steered.

## Pros

- Reaches librarians, booksellers and media, not only consumer reviewers
- You approve or decline each request
