I was reading my daily email from Shelf Awareness today and at the top was a banner advertising Lisa McMann’s upcoming release of Cryer’s Cross, which will release 02/08/11. The banner said "Click here to read the eGalley!" so I clicked!
Here’s the banner for you to see too! CLICK HERE to go to the Simon & Schuster Galley Grab beta registration site.
If you’re a blogger, librarian, bookseller, teacher, journalist, producer or other publishing professional you are eligible to register for eGalleys through this service!
I hope to see many more eGalleys from this publisher as it’s one of my favorite publishers and I can’t wait to read Lisa McMann’s new release!
UPDATE:
Once I registered an email came to me that included several other awesome YA titles I’ve been looking forward to reading! Some included:
![]() 368 pages, Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing, (2011-03-22) $17.99 (Amazon.com) |
![]() 288 pages, Simon Pulse, (2011-03-08) $16.99 (Amazon.com) |
![]() 288 pages, Simon Pulse, (2011-02-22) $16.99 (Amazon.com) |
![]() 240 pages, Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing, (2011-01-04) $16.99 (Amazon.com) |
So, again, if you review books I highly suggest you sign up for these!
Sounds like an interesting book. I finally ordered a Kindle (they are so cheap now, how could I resist?!) and it should arrive next week! Yipee!
That’s awesome! Enjoy! The new ones are so pretty compared to my original device.
I’d highly suggest signing up for a NetGalley account so you can get some free eGalleys from them too! 🙂
I just got the email from them, and there’s SO MUCH MORE!!! There’s Wither, Choker, Haven, Deadly, Slice of Cherry and a lot more. 🙂 I don’t know how I’m going to read them all though.
I know! I got one too and I was shocked! I was going to update my post tonight with the other titles! 🙂
This sounds like a cool program! I just signed up, hopefully I signed up right!
I know right?! And there are a bunch more awesome titles available too!
I am a teen book reviewer for the bookstore I work at. I signed up for GalleyGrab and got Cryer’s Cross. But I was just wondering when you got your email for Wither and Choker? I have been waiting to review these books. I have been signed up for 2 days now and was wondering if I would be recieving the email soon, or if there is something else I have to do. Thanks!
Madison,
What I did was sent an email to them: questions.galleygrab@simonandschuster.com
Asking them how to access other galleys. Shortly after sending that email I received a summary email of other titles available.
I’d recommend sending a short request on how to access other galleys like I did.
Make sure you use the email address you registered under. 🙂
Thank you very much. I followed your advice and I will hopefully be getting a reply from galleygrab soon.
Have you received a newsletter for December? Just curious! I’m wondering how often they send them out 🙂
Nope. I haven’t. 🙁
Oh that stinks for us! But I’m kinda glad, I was hoping it wasn’t just me! I sent them an email but hadn’t received a response.
I sent them an email a while ago and still haven’t recieved a response. I sent it multiple times too. I don’t know why I never received the newsletters, or why the emails I sent never recieved a response…
The only reason I can think that you wouldn’t receive a reply is if they didn’t approve you for their requirement. Are you a blogger? Libririan? I’d assume they’d approve you if you fall into their approved categories.
I review books through the bookstore I work at. I was approved for Cryer’s Cross though, so I it wouldn’t make sense that they wouldn’t at least reply saying that I didn’t fit their criteria, especially sense I was already approved for a previous book. Well, I sent them a new email and hopefully they will respond this time. Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I just signed up today for Galley Grab and I got an e-mail saying I was approved and to download my galley follow the instructions. Which I did, but it was a title. I was wondering is that what happened to you at first and then you got the newsletter?
Or did I just get approved for this book? lol
I can’t remember. I think that’s how it worked for me. But I also signed up for a specific title, and had to sign up for the program to get it.
I found this page http://www.galleygrab.com/?asset_url=9781442411760 clicked on NEW USER and signed up and then got my email saying
“You now have access to the beta version of Galley Grab”
so does that mean I am approved lol?
Why can’t they just be on NetGalley lol
I’d assume so. I agree. NetGalley is so much easier! I can actually read those books on my Kindle!
I just went through the same thing. I signed up and got the email giving me access to Mystery Galley, clicked and got Cryer’s Cross. I was so excited that I didn’t even think about other books, but after reading this I’ve realized that it’s not just a one-at-a-time thing. Thanks for the heads up! I sent an email. 🙂
I love NetGalley too but am going to try GalleyGrab as well. I registered today, so I will see if I get an approval as well 🙂
