Introducing Audiobooks on NetGalley
We are thrilled to welcome the audiobook publishing community to NetGalley!
Audiobook publishers can now connect with NetGalley’s community of reviewers, librarians, booksellers, media, and educators who discover new books and recommend them to their audiences. These members are already excited to listen to and review audiobooks.
Publishers have been using NetGalley for digital review copies for over 10 years to build buzz, receive feedback and reviews, and discover early trends.
● Reach a powerful community of book advocates and industry professionals
● Invite your trusted contacts to listen to your audiobooks
● Receive feedback and reviews in one easy-to-manage place
● Utilize in-depth reporting to follow-up and expand outreach
● Incorporate targeted promotions to reach specific audiences
Audiobook listening continues to grow with an impressive trajectory! Last year, it was reported that audiobook listening hit the 50% mark in audiobook consumer penetration.* We are excited to offer tools and reports that will extend and enhance the work that audio publishers are already doing to promote their titles, and help to further develop the audience for audiobooks.
Full audiobooks will become available on NetGalley in July, but Audio Excerpts launched in 2019. NetGalley members weren’t shy when sharing their excitement!
Nearly 16,000 members have already opted into promotions about audiobooks on NetGalley!
A multi-platform campaign is planned leading up to the July launch to generate even more excitement and anticipation from NetGalley members. Outlets include email marketing, on-site promotion, social media, our editorial blog, and more. In addition to engaging our current members who are interested in audiobooks, our Community Team will be actively recruiting new members to NetGalley who listen to and review audiobooks.
