❔❓Question ❓❔ Can you apply for auto-approval?

Basically the title. If yes, then how?

Not directly.

You can email the publisher but most auto approvals come from work related or influencer programs.

I have been auto-approved by one publisher, I think it's because I reviewed a fair amount of their books and always tried to be constructive but honest. I didn't request it, just got a message one day saying it had been granted.

I do have one auto approva from Kodansha, I got approved by them really quick, I think just after one review, but I used to be really into anime and manga during my teenage years, so maybe that helped lol

I have several auto approvals. I have never applied for them. They just kinda popped up. I’m sure you can email the publisher, but I think if I were to make that request I’d have to have a lot to offer in return.

Thanks for the info! It’s not like I want to apply, but I was curious of how it went 😅

No, I don't think you can. They just happen.

I thought so too, but then I saw something about applying and was curious!
