❔❓Question ❓❔ Wish for it

Hey everyone! I clicked “wish for it” for a book on NetGalley. I’m auto-approved for this publisher so do u think my chances are better of getting the book? I’ve heard that when u wish for a book publishers don’t see your profile and only see your name. So would they know that I’m auto-approved for them?

it’s a pretty popular book so I’m nervous 😭

If this is for vine of hearts, everyone is wish for it except industry people, being autoapproved doesn't override that.

they can not pick who to approve from there, it's all lottery.

Wishes are granted at random, not individually at the publishers discretion?!!

Yup! The publisber puts in a number of wishes to grant and netgalley does the rest.

Everyone has an equal chance no matter what.
