Today is a big day at NetGalley. Weโre thrilled to celebrate the launch of two major enhancements to the NetGalley service: the NetGalley Shelf app and Audiobooks! ๐๐ง
As part of our commitment to raise awareness for books from marginalized/diverse voices, we've added a new Category to NetGalley for OwnVoices. This new Category is used to indicate books where the protagonist and the author share a marginalized identity.

Login access has been temporarily disabled for all NetGalley accounts while our tech team investigates an issue. This also means members will be unable to download new books to the NetGalley Shelf app, although previously downloaded books should be accessible.
