Hachette UK will now be distributing digital proofs of its books to reviewers and bloggers through NetGalley.
Among the first titles from the group to go on the site will be Joanne M Harris’ The Gospel of Loki (Gollancz), Val McDermid’s Cross and Burn (Little, Brown) and The Itsu Cookbook (Octopus).
Readers can register for free at NetGalley, and request digital books or be invited to view titles by publishers. Once approved, NetGalley members can view digital proofs on all major reading devices and tablets.
Clare Harington, group communications director of Hachette UK, said: “NetGalley provides a great service, enabling the quick and secure dissemination of digital proofs which is a vital component of every publicity campaign. We are very pleased to be working with them.”
Susan Ruszala, NetGalley’s president, said: “We’re delighted that Hachette UK will be using NetGalley to distribute secure, digital proofs to their own contacts and to our community. Digital proofs help publicists and marketers broaden the opportunities to create book buzz by reaching influencers of all types, faster and more efficiently.”
UK publishers already using NetGalley include Bloomsbury, HarperCollins, Penguin Books, Random House and Little, Brown.
NetGalley is used by more than 250 publishers worldwide to interact with 25,000 readers based in the UK, and more than 160,000 worldwide.
