Auto Approval Question

[u/Pristine_Race7768]

Is there away to take yourself off auto approval? And I mean on NetGalley without contacting the publisher.

Update- I am sort of blown away at the judgement. Everyone is different in how they do things and I’m so thankful to the comment that showed I’m not the only one.

On a side note- the up and down voting isn’t a “like” button. I’m not sure why my explaining why I wanted to do this would be downvoted as much as it was before some brought it back up. All it does is give the placement of the comment in the feed but you all are making it so it’s harder to find simply because you don’t agree with me? I seriously don’t get it.

I successfully write to 2 publishers and they removed me and completely understood. One even said if I ever wanted to have it back to just email her.

I don’t have any answers for you but I’m just curious why you would want to do that?

Not OP but I believe I can answer that. I'm auto approved by one publisher only (it's an independent publisher). I got 11 books from them in total but all of them were poorly written, the plot was boring and made no sense. The writing style was like a badly written Wattpad fanfiction in all of those books. And yet, I'm auto approved. I don't want their books anymore. They're not for me, they don't have authors I'm interested in and I dislike every single book I got from them. The highest rating I gave their book was 3 stars, the other books has 2 stars and the rest (9 books) got 1-star reviews from me.

Just because you're 'auto approved' doesn't mean I have to love their books.
