This is a quick guide to what is expected from NetGalley as part of the book reviewing process. Written mostly in bullet points, it's easy to skim through to pick out relevant information.
While most of the information seems pretty obvious, it has been helpful to have open next to me while I am writing a review. It has helped me structure a review in a way that is helpful to future readers, but also gives feedback to the publisher and writer. One thing I really appreciated were the tips on how to review an audiobook, as some of this I hadn't really considered previously.
All in all, a helpful guide to to new people navigating NetGalley (and book reviewing in general) and definitely something I will keep referring to when I write future reviews.

Super quick, super informative guide on what to do to help your stats on NetGalley. Advice on writing reviews. Sharing reviews. The best places to talk books, and how to keep your bio up to date with the information that publishers are looking for. I’ve been on NetGalley for a good few years now, I wish this guide had been around when I started out, I do however struggle a little with using the NetGalley shelf app, as much as I love the idea behind it, pages keep flicking backwards and forwards, not sure if it’s just me. Personally I would have benefitted more with a kindle copy.

This toolkit was short and sweet and was a good introduction to new reviewers. I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone who has been with NetGalley for a while though, as the information contained within seems to rehash the Bookish blog posts.
For a new reviewer who may not have read all the blog posts yet, the toolkit is an easily digestible visual guide. It could be made better by linking aforementioned blog posts.

Such a great toolkit! Found everything to be really helpful! Thought this was a great resource and really appreciated all the platforms being shown!

This is such a good resource to use to use this site properly. I am going to be using this resource for all my further reviews.

As someone who’s fairly new to publicly reviewing books, I found this guide to be extremely helpful. Not only does it cover NetGalley but has useful info regarding other social media sites as well. Would definitely recommend to new reviewers!

Very useful tips! Can't wait to start reviewing more and more books! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I have been needing to get my reviews more organized so this Toolkit was extremely helpful!
I have been on NetGalley for over a year but I am always open to advice to make my NetGalley profile more desirable to publishers!
Thanks for sharing this!

Very informative thanks for this information. Will take some of the advice given ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Thank your for the information

This toolkit is really helpful for someone with a new NetGalley account and who’s new to reviewing books! Thank you, NetGalley for creating this!!!

What a helpful booklet! Some great tips for casual reviewers and those starting up book blogging! Thanks #netgalley

Love this so much! This Toolkit was extremely helpful in learning how to navigate netgalley and how to go through the reviews.

A quick read with lots of great info and tips packed in! This could be a handbook for a social media manager at most jobs—excited to have it as a quick reference resource for my reviews!

Wonderful tips on how best to promote your reviews and platforms! Thank you, NetGalley for this excellent resource.

Informative and useful, especially for folks looking to improve their likelihood of getting approved for more ARCs, and getting more followers on their bookish social media accounts.

This was quick read, and had a lot of helpful hints. I think it’s geared more towards the newer user, it had lots of newbie information.
4 stars.

I enjoyed this book. It gives a lot of great hints and instructions for doing book reviews in multiple ways. I do very simple reviews that I post on Amazon and Goodreads, with a link to Twitter, but even so, the book offered me further tips including tagging, and when not to tag. The book really just covers the basics but there are lots of links to related topics on the Bookish website, the editorial blog for NetGalley members. I found the book useful, as I think many Netgalley members will. I recommend it.

I'm so glad to have come across this! It was very informative and helpful and I look forward to putting these tips to good use. I'd have loved this when I first started NG. Should be promoted to new users!

Excellent aid in setting up a Netgalley account. This will also definitely help in writing my book reviews.

Thanks for putting this together. It is great for surface level getting started. Once I work my way through these tips, I’d love to see more about how to grow.
