This guide was very helpful in getting started with NetGalley. I especially appreciated that it addressed best practices for so many different forms of social media.

Useful book. I probably should have read this before I was a year into reading and reviewing for my audience! Coupled with the reading notebook they gave out for the Holidays this year, this contains everything you need to provide quality and timely reviews of books.

This toolkit helped me a lot especially as a beginner in Netgalley! I gained a lot of insights about the process of requesting ARCs as well as how to maintain a good Feedback ratio. I loved that it also includes a section with tips on how to start and improve your social media platform depending on where you prefer to talk about books! I have a Bookstagram so all the tips are so helpful especially about the photo taking tips as I am still currently learning how to improve my skills in that department. Other things I loved about this is that it includes a guide on how to contruct your review as well as additional links if you want to dive deep into a specific topic. Thank you for this toolkit!

This was so helpful in understanding what the goals are for all parties involved, and additionally the information about other social media sites was invaluable! I have some targets to hit now which is exactly what I was looking for.

This is the perfect starter guide to NetGalley and book reviewing across the internet in general. I'm very excited to start this journey, and this guide made me feel a lot more prepared to do so.

Everything you need to use NetGalley and get started reading and reviewing books well! I'm just getting back into reviewing and using NetGalley after a few years away from the platform, so I pulled a good few handy tips from this that I'm excited to put to good use. Thank you!

This is a really useful resource! Some of the information is fairly basic, but there's a stuff in there that won't necessarily be obvious to anyone starting out and a lot of helpful tips. I would definitely recommend this to anyone just getting started with NetGalley.

Had a quick skim and think this will be really useful. Would be useful to flag this to new members so they can start off on the right foot rather than having to go through Help articles/guides. My thanks to the person who highlighted this on Facebook. - you're a gem for sharing.

I thought most of what I would find here to be common sense, but the information truly surprised me! There was much I hadn’t thought of and this is an essential read for anyone taking their NetGalley membership seriously. It couldn’t hurt to read it and takes just one sitting to read! I’m sure I will keep coming back to this to for tips as I move forward!

Fantastic information is included in this book. I definitely should have read this at the beginning of my Netgalley journey. But I'm still glad to have it now.

As someone new to net galley this was quite helpful with explaining various topics such as review ratios and social media help.

Excellent resource full of tips and tricks for reviewers! Recommended if you'd like to learn about or refresh your knowledge about the Netgalley platform and review etiquette.

This is a really nice guide for someone who is new to NetGalley and/or posting reviews online. I appreciate that it has a lot of tips across platforms and provides some good additional tools, like Canva, in addition to the expected how to write reviews tips and tricks.

Pretty okay for a toolkit. I'm not sure if I'll use it super often. It was good to look at once maybe but overall that's about it.

A very helpful toolkit for those who are new to NetGalley. A guide like this is very helpful, even for those who have been here for a while now.

The toolkit seems really helpful to new members. I don't find it as helpful now that I've been reviewing on NetGalley for a while now. However, this is a great resource and this will absolutely help new reviewers.

This is a great toolkit for a NetGalley newbie like myself. Before signing up for NetGalley I hadn’t reviewed many ARCs and so having a guide this is helpful.
