Dear Book Club Member,
We're excited to share advance reading copies (also known as galleys) from publishers with your book club!
This free service offers clubs the chance to preview new titles. Please complete this form so we can best match the interests of your book club with available titles. It's helpful to know your group's favorite books!
BEFORE YOU REGISTER: PLEASE READ THESE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are the galleys free? Who receives them?
*There is no charge to book club members for the galleys, or for shipping. You do not need to return the books. All books are sent directly from the publisher to one book club coordinator.
Galleys may not be used for promotional purposes or giveaways.
What types of books do you offer?
GalleyMatch is available for adult book discussion groups and cookbook clubs, teen, young adult, middle grade, and children's book clubs, reading a variety of genres.
How do I know If my club is registered?
*If you have registered a book club already, or if another member of your book club has registered, please don't register the club again! If you have any questions about whether you've or another member has registered, email us at
info@bookclubcookbook.com.
I belong to several book clubs. Should I register each?
*If you are a member of multiple book clubs, please complete a separate form for each group.
What if our book club has a change in the number of members?
Please let us know! GalleyMatches are made based on the number of members you register with.
How many copies do you provide? Are ebooks available?
*GalleyMatch provides advance reading copies for each member of your book club based on the number you have registered. For selected titles, digital galleys are available via download to Kindle through NetGalley.
What is required of book clubs?
*We request that one member complete a feedback form about your discussion after the meeting. We will send the form when galleys ship.
I registered for our book club, but haven't heard from you. When do we receive books?*
While we hope to offer a match to your book club, you do not receive potential GalleyMatches from us on any specific schedule. While there are many other factors in making matches, please note that we don't make many matches for larger groups (20+), and in general, smaller groups are likely to receive more matches.
*IMPORTANT: We require that you send us an email to ensure that you can receive an email from us! We won't reach out to you unless we receive an email from you. If we have not corresponded with you in the past, our email often goes to spam, and many book club members miss their GalleyMatch emails. If we reach out once with an email and have no response, we eliminate your group from the program so please make sure the contact email you are providing is for someone who checks email daily!
To confirm your registration, send an email to
info@bookclubcookbook.com with the subject line "GalleyMatch" and we will reply to confirm.
How soon do I need to reply to your email?
When we contact you, we'll ask you to confirm receipt of our email within 24 hours. This confirmation is essential - if you don't confirm receipt, we will assume you haven't received our email and will reach out to another group.
We'll include the final deadline in the email. Please respond even if your group is not interested in accepting these galleys. If not, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating and remove your group from the registry. If you don't check your email daily please have another member register as the contact for your book club.
You'll find the timeframe for scheduling your discussion in your GalleyMatch offer letter.
