“NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit” is a simple guide explaining NetGalley and reviewing books. It’s easy for beginners to understand. Even though people can do their research, this guide has almost everything in one place. It’s an excellent place to start learning what you should do. Then, once there is something that you want to go in-depth with, you can research from there to expand your knowledge. I wished I had “NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit” in the beginning because it’s a good reference to start with. The only thing I wished it expanded on was how to write your NetGalley bio. I’m always uncertain about what to put in my bio and would want more help with that.

This was a super helpful, very organized, quick-guide to all things NetGalley. Also, it was very informative in how to start your own booktube, bookstagram, booktok, etc. There were many more tips in here than just the guide to NetGalley.

I highly recommend reading over this if you’re interested in starting a bookblog of some sort, requesting advanced copies, or even giving it a read if you’ve been in the game for a while. There were more tips than just what might apply to someone newly getting into reviewing & requesting.

Pick up this super short (31 pages) guide on all things book review & request!

I found this to be interesting and very helpful. Suggestions of some good Dos and Donts as well as valuable advise. This is an excellent reference for those who enjoy reading advance review copies of books and writing reviews.

A really useful guide to getting started with Netgalley and tips for reviews. There also advice on the types of reviews to do for sifferent platforms. I will definitely be referring back to this for my next reviews.

A great resource for anyone leaving reviews on NetGalley. I learned so much. I love to read and have been leaving reviews for many years. I am not a blogger but this great tool book has so many hints on how to use social media and blogging that if I ever want to start I have a great resource for that. Thank you, NetGalley for this well-rounded, very useful toolkit.

This was a really nice and helpful resource, it's given me some incredible information and tips on how to get started on NetGalley, I'm new to this so it really helped me get started! Will definitely be coming back to this in the future!

This was an incredibly helpful source and something I wish I had when I first joined Netgalley. It had information that I had learned from some trial and error, but a lot of information I didn't know yet. I'll continuing be coming back to reference this material to help build up my reputation and social media platforms.

This was a really helpful guide to getting started with Netgalley. I especially liked how focused it was on blogs/social media. The Do's & Dont's for multiple platforms, how to interact with publishers, how to watch/manage your feedback ratio, and the tag/hashtag info will help newbies jump in to book reviewing with confidence.

A must read for starter book reviewers on NetGalley. The design is very well thought out, and it reads like a how-to-guide, but one that is actually helpful. The most important things to take away are 1: don't go on a requesting spree, only request books you are interested in, 2: update your profile every couple months. 3: write a review that engages readers. This book also includes tips and tricks for posting and promoting books on social media, whether that be on booktube or instagram or another platform altogether. I cannot wait to get started on Netgalley! I especially liked the "do's and don'ts" of reviewing. Personally, I have a very niche target audience, and create graphics that go along with my reviews. My reviews are not your typical, standard, run-of-the-mill. I relate books to meals, which makes me develop not only as a writer but as a reader, too. This handy guide helps me determine where my reviews will be best placed and how to grow as a reviewer.
