The On Our Radar newsletter features noteworthy forthcoming books, as selected by Publishers Lunch. Recipients use it as an early alert ahead of monthly bookseller or librarian picks, and as a guide for galleys to request. On Our Radar is sent approximately every two weeks.
Sponsored Editions include special content and banner ads from one particular publisher/company. The ads do not need to be specific to the included titles. The sponsored content and placement is customizable. Promoted books do not need to be active in NetGalley; ads can be clickable to pre-order/buy links, or other digital assets.
