Here at Quirk Books, we’re thrilled to welcome requests from all NetGalley users. However, we’re most interested in making connections with booksellers, journalists/media professionals, educators, librarians, and influencers like BookTokers, Bookstagrammers, and BookTubers.
We check our requests almost daily. If you get a no, chances are it’s because you didn’t provide enough information in your profile. Make sure you’re telling us (and all publishers!) a bit about yourself, including links to your platforms!
Booksellers, Librarians, & Educators: Almost always immediately approved, as long as your profile page has relevant information about your bookstore, library, or school.
Influencers: Quirk loves working with influencers of all kinds! If you want to increase your chances of having an ARC request granted, make sure your profile talks about all your relevant platforms and mentions your audience and reach.
Book Lovers & Eager Readers: Hey! We like you guys too! Are you on Goodreads? Awesome! Make sure you’re mentioning that in your profile and provide a link to your public profile. We consider things like frequency of reviews posted and engagement on those reviews when making approvals.
Now, are you approved? Awesome! If you can post your review and notify us via NetGalley, we’d really appreciate it. Have follow up questions about your review? Maybe want to interview the author on your blog or request materials for your library or bookstore? Also awesome! You’re more than welcome to email marketing@quirkbooks.com.
Thanks, readers!
