This is a very well laid-out and helpful guide to using NetGalley, and navigating around the website. As a beginner to the site I found it very useful when helping me set up my profile, including what kinds of things to put into my bio, which I would not have added otherwise. I will definitely be referring back to it in the future whenever I need to update my profile.

Great tips and hints to getting approved for ARC’s. Thank you NetGalley for making this guide available to help ensure my reading addiction.

Brief refresher that includes helpful tips on using the #NetGalley platform, promoting reviews on social media, and drafting reviews generally.

This was concise and provided an excellent overview of ARC reading on NetGalley as well as tips for more experienced ARC readers. I wish I had read this earlier and I am looking forward to reading some of the links to outside articles.

I'm so glad that NetGalley has this particular book. Some time last year I had decided I wanted to be a bookstagrammer or booktoker. This guide helped me hone in on my skills

This toolkit is the secret weapon I didn’t know I needed! Imagine stumbling into a library where every book is a cheat code for mastering NetGalley… that’s what reading this felt like! As a newcomer, I appreciated how it didn’t just toss generic advice at me but actually explained the *why* behind the strategies.

The section on crafting a profile that publishers notice was a game changer. I went from guessing in the dark to understanding exactly what makes a request stand out. And the review templates? Suddenly, structuring my thoughts became effortless, like someone handed me a map after I’d been wandering without one.

What I loved most was the emphasis on consistency. It’s not about churning out reviews but building a genuine presence, and the toolkit breaks that down into manageable steps. After applying just a few tips, my feedback ratio improved, and I started feeling like part of the community rather than someone just hoping for approvals.

If you’re new to NetGalley, treat this like your first must read ARC. It’s short, direct, and packed with the kind of insider knowledge that usually takes months to figure out. I’ll be keeping this one close whenever I need a refresher!

This toolkit is so usefull to start using NetGalley! I'm still very new to all of this, so I regularly check it.

Very helpful guide on how to write reviews for books. Definitely recommend to people who are new to writing book reviews.

Quick to read toolkit that gives you the 411 on all things NetGalley. Highly recommend this for all newbies.

Great toolkit for NetGalley beginners! It had all the instructions I needed to get started and easily navigate the platform.

Thank you, NetGalley! This is a wonderful resource to help improve our usership on your website and establish great relationships with your partnering publisher.s I have this bookmarked for easy review as I read my current and future galleys.

Thank you NetGalley for creating this toolkit. This was a very informative toolkit... I wish it had been provided BEFORE I was able to apply for any ARCs. Without knowing the ins and outs of how this work, I did just what the toolkit warned against doing (put out a bunch of requests assuming I wouldn't get approved for very many). Now that I know that, I am working hard to get through my list and post reviews so that my ratio is good.

Great resource for starting out. This had some wonderful tips on reviewing books that can go further than just netgalley.

This book was very helpful! As a new NetGalley user I have been struggling trying to learn ways to get approved to read and review books and this guide made it very easy. There are tips on what to include in your bio, how to access books, navigating the site and more. Highly recommend starting here if you’re a new user and want to build a profile that will help you!

This is a great informative resource for those of us who are new to Netgalley. It's written clearly and succinctly, and the page layouts are neat and crisp. The graphic design is simple but eye catching and just lovely.

As a lover of books, I joined the NetGalley community in pursuit of the opportunity to read books, review and love them, along with spreading the word to others. Upon joining NetGalley I have noticed some areas that are within my control/based on my actions. Downloading this Toolkit book and reading it is among the plenty of resourceful tools that NetGalley has provided me. I hope that once I have implemented everything I can be closer to my goal of spreading the word for the lovely stories I've had the pleasure of consuming!

Very handy guide for new users of NetGalley, like myself! Attractive but clear layout, which succeeds in drawing attention when it needs to. I liked the use of lists. This will certainly help me get started on my NetGalley journey!

One thing I missed was how to use a Kobo E-reader to read books. I understand there's some issues regarding that at the moment but it would be a helpful inclusion for the future.

Allowed me to understand NetGalley more and now I have a better understanding of how this platform works! Thank you!!!

A great guide for those just starting out on NetGalley. Gives a lot of insight into what publishers are looking for to get approved for requests of books. I feel more confident and comfortable using the platform now.

This NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit really helps reviewers get a deeper understanding of the inner-workings within NetGalley. It also helps explain how you can format and structure reviews. All of this information is a great help for someone who is just getting started with reviews.
