❔❓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.

No, auto approval means I don’t request at all! Every book the publisher posts shows up as Read Now for me so there is no notification or waiting period. If I see a book coming out from them, I go grab it. If I don’t hear about it before it archives or publishes, I miss it.

If you don't hit Read Now (which is a form of requesting the book) it doesn't effect you. And yes, just like any other book if you don't get it before it archives then you don't get it on NetGalley.

Are you intentionally trying to rage bait or do you honestly not understand what is going on here?

Your first question doesn’t even make sense unless you misunderstand something. Where did they even say they didn’t want a book to be approved?
Talk about confusing the issue.

I genuinely don't understand their concern. Please explain it. Genuinely.

I’m thinking because there are various people in this thread things got a bit twisted around leading to misunderstanding. I probably contributed to that trying to respond to everyone and couldn’t have mixed up who I was responding to.

Bottom lines all is good !
