NetGalley for Self-Published Authors: Worth it or Waste of Money?

I put my closed door romance book, Sparks in Iceland, on Netgalley, and today we’re talking about the results. I’ll also be talking about why I put my book on Natgalley again after a semi-negative experience previously, what I did to make it a positive experience this time around, and the full stats behind how it went and if I’d do it all again!
