You’ll get an exclusive badge to show publishers that you’re committed to helping books succeed. Throughout the next 5 weeks, we’ll provide tips focused on how to write reviews and feedback, so publishers know you’re committed to spreading the word about their great titles. We’ll also give tips for sharing your reviews with your friends/followers, and recommending books to your customers or patrons.
When is it?

This seems like it’ll be a lot of fun, even starting off it sounds like more fun than previous years (and they were great!)
Looks good, all signed up, (I hope)
Looking forward to this! Thank you!
Great opportunity to support books and have fun at the same time. Thanks!
Thank you for this. Not only for the books but also looking forward to the review tips

I am SO looking forward to this event and challenge!
Sounds like a lot of fun! Welcome the review tips.
Looking forward to this and thanks
Count me in!
Looking forward to this challenge!
This will be my first year participating in the challenge. I’m really looking forward to it and curious to find out what is involved. The review tips sound like they’ll be really useful.
Sigh, I will be without internet for a month starting Friday…
That’s too bad! But, if you participate, you’ll still receive our emails so you’ll at least be able to look at those and access the resources we’ve provided once your internet is back up and running!
I’m in! What a wonderful way for everyone to come together in yet another way to share our love of reading and reviewing.
Sounds like a lot of fun, badge shared and can’t wait for the webinar and other stuff!
How exciting! I’m in! 🙂
Can’t wait! This sounds fun!
I’m definitely in, this sounds like a lot of fun! Can’t wait for the webinar!
This is awesome! I’m in!!
I’m in sounds like a good time. I’m new to the reviewing world so this would be a wonderful opportunity.
This sounds fantastic. Thank you Netgalley for giving us this wonderful opportunity
All signed up (I think!)
This is my first year, so I can’t wait!
This sounds great!
Great opportunity to take reviewing to the next level!!
Sounds like fun! Thanks for the opportunity! =0)
So awesome! Looking forward to this! Thank you so much!
Thanks for this great opportunity. Am looking forward to taking part.
This is awesome. This is my first year reviewing my book and would love to learn more. I would like to share the badge over Instagram, yet all the pictures are too small to post.
Looking forward to this!
Thanks! I have posted the badge on my Goodreads blog. I get such great reading through Net Galley that I am always proud to say it is one of my best resources.
Books can be socially isolating at times so it is wonderful to see you making more of a social feature out of reviewing.
I love scavenger hunts!
I love NetGalley! I have discovered so many new authors to follow! I post my reviews at 8 different locations…. some have a large audience, some have less than 1000 followers. But I really enjoy sharing my reviews and getting feedback. There’s nothing quite like someone saying I loved the review, I bought the book, and you were right .. it was a great book! Makes my day! My thanks to all the authors, publishers who make these books available and approve me to read them!
Thanks Netgalley! I love my new badge and can’t wait to join on the 18th.
I love books and Netgalley so I am happy to read and support. Thanks so much for hosting this challenge. 🙂
I am so looking forward to this
Thanks for inviting me to be part of the challenge.

Thank you NetGalley! I’ll soon be celebrating my first year with you, and this seems a fitting way to help celebrate! Three badges and counting!
Sounds like fun! I’m in! Thanks NetGalley.
Since I am the only book nerd amongst my people, I rely on social media to share my love of books. I am excited to be a part of this challenge. Thank you NetGalley.
Gonna be fun!!! Thanks Netgalley
I love sharing my love of books and reading, i leave reviews and recommendations where ever i can, and i also purchase and gift ebook copies and hard copies to gift as much as possible, i love the feedback when someone really enjoys the books. I am really looking forward to reading more new authors etc and the tips for reviews as i tend to write just what im feeling. Thank you NetGalley for further enriching the reading experiences for all readers
Looks like fun I am in 🙂
Thanks! This sounds like a lot of fun. I already added the badge to my blog.
Count me in 🙂
First year participating for me and everyone says how much fun this is. Looking forward to this next month.
I love the chance to earn a new badge and get some great tips.
I’m always happy to learn new ways to improve my reviews and feedback. Netgalley has been an invaluable resource for our library book ordering.
I’m very excited about this! Thanks NetGalley and publishers!
I am very excited to be included in the Challenge. Thanks NetGalley.
fun to look forward to from a proud NetGalley member since 2010!
thanks for the challenge and for the badge!
This sounds so exciting. I will need to watch the webinar about a week after the live event, but I can’t wait to get started!
Exciting! I love NetGalley and am looking forward to this! Signed up and shared on Facebook!
This is perfect because I was looking for advice and tips. I LOVE NetGalley! It’s given me an opportunity to read books from authors/publishers who I admire and some new books I might not have picked up if it wasn’t for NetGalley.
I enjoy being a NetGalley member and having access to amazing books. I love reading. Books are my passion! Thanks for always finding creative ways to share books, author info, and an amazing way to discover the next bestseller. Many thanks to all the authors, publishers, and NetGalley! I’m a #BookAdvocate .
Thank you! Really looking forward to this! 🙂
I get most of my books from here and this is my first NetGalley Challenge. I work as a copy editor so reading is a major part of my job. I even have the opportunity to proofread/beta-read for a couple of authors. The part I love the best is getting to read a title before it is released. It’s like knowing a secret before everyone does. I give feedback and post reviews for every book I read, even the ones I don’t. I share my reviews on amazon.com, amazon.ca, amazon.uk, amazon.in, kobo, smashwords, librarything, my twitter @AshPReads and my FB page https://www.facebook.com/AshPReads.
First time for the challenge, little nervous as I’m not sure what to do, but looking forward to it.
I am really enjoying being part of the Netgalley community and this latest challenge sounds like a lot of fun.
I am so excited for this!
Thank you for including me, I’m looking forward to it!
I’m so excited for this 😀
I’m looking forward to what you guys have in store for us. A scavenger hunt??? that should be interesting!
I love being a part of NetGalley and this just adds to all the excitement of the great books I get from the website.
Just registered! Woot!
I’m looking forward to this, as I want to continue to learn to share my love of underrated books. This is my first year participating. Thanks!

This is my first time participating in the challenge. Sounds like fun and very excited to see what is involved. Anything involving books is fun to me. 🙂
I feel so privileged to have been given this opportunity and for us Bibliophiles to come together.
It feels so special to help Author’s make their dreams come true in having their work reviewed and promoted.
The 2015 NetGalley Challenge is an added bonus 🙂

Hi! Is the archive of the webinar on ‘feedback basics and best practices’ available? I missed the live event, unfortunately.
Hi Althea! Here is the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APaP5zYaUtQ&feature=youtu.be
I love to recommend books to our library patrons. It is fun to find out what their individual preferences are. Pointing a reader to a book they might enjoy is enjoyment for me too!
I didn’t get home until the live webcast was about halfway through, but I’ve now watched it again on the you tube link. I found it interesting and useful (especially the bits I missed). I think I’ll need to work a bit on my blog (which is fairly new).
Thank you; hopefully I signed up correctly.
