At NetGalley, we’re honored to be your partner in connecting books with the readers you want to reach—and it fills us with pride to report on our platform activity that directly benefits your books. This month we’re celebrating all the amazing activity your books saw on NetGalley.com in Q1:
630,000+ Active Members
When we say “active” we mean it! NetGalley regularly removes inactive member accounts, ensuring that we’re reporting a true community size. We have a dedicated team who engage with the NetGalley community to ensure they have all the resources they need to succeed as book advocates. Resources like the Book Advocate Toolkit and Social Media Handbook are designed to help our members write valuable reviews, navigate key bookish social spaces like BookTok and Bookstagram, and become even more effective promoters of your marketing efforts. Plus, we’re always excited to help craft your Book Club Kits to include author interviews, recipes, activities, book recommendations, and discussion questions for library, school, bookstore, and reader-driven clubs.
We love nurturing NetGalley’s knowledgeable and passionate community, who work to amplify your books’ reach across every corner of bookish conversation.
10.7 Million Avg Pageviews Each Month
With close to 11 million pageviews per month, Q1 2025 saw 9% growth when compared to the same period last year. This activity is driven by our community’s interest in the books that publishers and authors make available on NetGalley.com (nearly 7,500 books and audiobooks in Q1 alone), and desire to spread the word about the books they read!
