EarlyWord GalleyChat is alive in 2025! We know many of you have been using our site as a tool for collection development, readers’ advisory, and personal reading recommendations for over a decade, so we are delighted to continue this crucial work.

Our latest GalleyChat occurred on January 2, at our new home on BlueSky. Here are the links to the chat and the Edelweiss catalog where you can request and download DRCs.

EarlyWord GalleyChat, January 2025: a spreadsheet of the titles on Google Docs. Includes the chatters or marketers who chatted up the books. As always, diversity titles are noted. LibraryReads deadlines and notes on DRCs are only available on NetGalley. If you have any trouble downloading the spreadsheet or have comments or issues, please let us know.

Edelweiss catalog includes covers, publisher marketing information, and links to Edelweiss DRCs.

Our next chat is scheduled for Thursday, February 5, 2025, from 4 to 5 p.m. EST on BlueSky (virtual cocktails at 3:30 p.m. EST). We hope you will join us as we chat up some of the most enjoyable book galleys of Spring and Summer 2025.

The next LibraryReads deadline is February 1, for books publishing in March.

Please give special attention to our list of diversity titles for 2025.
