I paid for a year's worth of Netgalley from Patchwork Press (who've been delightful to deal with) even though I didn't need the reviews (on Amazon, anyway) but because I thought the Netgalley reviews would show up on other sites such as Goodreads and blogs that cater to my category (middle grade). Sadly, after eight months of this (with four more to go), it's hard to know where the Netgalley reviews actually show up. In the emails I get from PP, no sites are provided; just the Netgalley site that I cannot access and the reviewer's email address ... and I am not about to go there! Once in a blue moon, I get a web site where the review appears, but this is rare.
Every month, I get a handful of emails from Patchwork Press detailing my reviews but they don't tell me where the reviews will appear—just on Netgalley and I'm not a member of that. Otherwise, I have no way of tracking down these reviews.
Maybe this is useful; maybe not. I have no idea how many people subscribe to Netgalley as readers who look at reviews, but they're certainly not seeing them anywhere other than at Netgalley.
So, after all is said and done, I guess I won't be re-upping for Negalley again any time soon.
