Gate Wind Press reviews requests on a case-by-case basis. While we aim to approve as many cozy mystery readers as possible, we have a limited number of digital galleys available and prioritize reviewers who have:
A public profile with review history or social presence
A clear interest in cozy mysteries or related genres
A plan to share their thoughts on NetGalley, Goodreads, retail sites, or social media
We especially welcome librarians, booksellers, reviewers, and bloggers who enjoy warm, character-driven mysteries with small-town charm and seasonal vibes.
If you're approved, we kindly ask that you:
Submit a review on NetGalley—even a short response is helpful
If you decide not to review, feel free to mark the title as “Declined” to help us track availability
If your request was declined, it may be because:
The maximum number of copies has already been distributed
Your profile is missing key info (such as a bio, review links, or stats)
Your request ratio is currently low
We encourage reviewers to keep profiles up to date and to submit feedback on previously approved titles, which helps us grant future requests.
