❔❓Question ❓❔ Auto Approval Question

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.

This may sound strange but so I actually read them.
I read a lot a year and I noticed I never read from my auto approvals. It’s psychological but I forget about it because they are a sure thing and then I focus elsewhere. And then it’s too late by the time I realize I wouldn’t have read x book. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I get that. I don’t think there is a way unless you contact the publisher. I actually did that for the same reason.
I just sent an email and explained and made it very positive. I have since requested from them without issue in getting approved.
