Thomas Nelson has announced a new partnership with NetGalley to deliver digital galleys and promotional materials to professional readers.

With the venture, Nelson will have the ability to distribute secure, black and white and full-color digital galleys to reviewers and media contacts, booksellers, librarians and educators. Readers can download files to their computers or a variety of devices, including Barnes & Noble's Nook, Sony Reader, Kobo Reader, iPad and iPhone.

"Instantly delivering secure galleys to interviewers and reviewers means more exposure for our titles, even on tight deadlines," said Katie Bond, publicity manager for Nelson's fiction team. "And placing our titles in NetGalley's digital catalog invites connections with contacts who are new to our books—librarians, media and booksellers."

Nelson will launch the NetGalley partnership featuring several titles, including: The Shelter of God's Promises DVD-based Bible study by Sheila Walsh; In God We Still Trust: A 365-Day Devotional by Richard G. Lee; Jesus, My Father, the CIA, and Me: A Memoir ... of Sorts by Ian Morgan Cron; The Promises She Keeps by Erin Healy; Invasion by Jon S. Lewis; Softly and Tenderly by Sara Evans and Rachel Hauck; An Amish Love by Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller and Kelly Long; Putting Plan B Into Action DVD-based study by Pete Wilson; and The Final Summit: A Quest to Find the One Principle That Will Save Humanity by Andy Andrews.

Other Christian publishers that use NetGalley are Abingdon Press, AMG Publishers, B&H Publishing Group, Barbour Publishing, FaithWords, Moody Publishers, New Hope Publishers, P&R Publishing and Warner Press.
