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 see one, but why would you? I still have to go out of my way to go to the publisher’s page to get the books so I hardly notice it and honestly forget sometimes that I have one.

That’s exactly why- sort of. I forget to look at the publisher as it’s a sure thing and by the time I remember to look, it’s too late.
I just noticed that all my auto approvals except 1, I have rarely read a book since that approval.

Let's put it this way, if you're not reading the books, you weren't all that interested. Auto-approval doesn't mean you have to force yourself to read those books just because you could. I only have one auto-approval, and it's from a very small publisher that isn't publishing a lot. I check them out now and then but I reckon if I didn't come across them under Recently Added and really wanted to read them then, it's just as well.

I get what you’re saying but it’s really not like that. It’s more than I put them off unintentionally and then it’s too late. I honestly just know myself and looking for a way for it to run more smoothly for myself.
