As someone just newly starting out on Netgalley this was a really great introduction and guide on how everything’s works with many tips and tricks I previously didn’t know about. I really recommend having a read through this if you’re starting out or are just wanting a reminder or a few tips.

This is a really helpful introduction to the various screen menus for NetGalley. It provides information on how to set up your own profile to gain attraction from publishers whose books you request to read as well as how to give feedback after you have read. Also guidance on when you Did Not Finish (DNF) something and a decision tree as to whether you can give feedback on what was read in something you didn't get through. There is helpful information on how you can link these websites in NetGalley and how to download items to read on Kindle is also given. I like the idea that this is a 'living document' and that feedback and updates on the platform will be built in to future revised editions which I can return to in the future.

I am looking forward to reading and giving feedback on the books I add to my shelf and promoting the books through recommendations on StoryGraph and Goodreads particularly.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit provides a splashy, visually interesting guide to their website as well as the process of requesting & reviewing books with helpful links to other content on their website I might not have found otherwise.

This easily could have been a long text document - after all it’s aimed at readers! The graphics could have been cheesy or distracting, but it is clear this toolkit was designed with intention, breaking down information into concise areas with visual reminders that allow readers to process technical and instructive material quickly. I know I will certainly keep this around as a handy tool to come back to as I engage more with NetGalley and the book reviewing space.

Thanks so much NetGalley for putting this together!

Really great tips and tricks for improving your reviews and making sure that the author and publisher get the info they need, but also the readers. I can’t wait to use this as a reference.

I especially appreciate the sections on reviewing snd DNFing. This is something I will continually come back to for guidance.

This toolkit is well made and simple to understand for first time Netgalley users. After I read the guide, I changed my profile accordingly and was able to build a stronger and more appealing profile, enhancing my chances of being approved by any publisher.

As someone who is wanting to utilise NetGalley this year, this was an informative and simplified guide. It allowed me to make beneficial changes to my profile and bio, making it easier for publishers to gather the necessary information. This made navigating a new platform a lot easier!

It should be one of the first reads for everyone when starting on Netgalley.

What a great tool for anyone getting started on NetGalley or even just to brush up on some skills or features you may not have known about! I have been on NetGalley for some months now and learned a few things myself. I also really liked the clickable links inside the PDF, that made it really easy to navigate.

I've been a huge fan of NetGalley for years! It's an incredible platform for book lovers, but I always find that a little refresher course can bring new insights and tips to enhance my experience.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a helpful, introductory, guide for aspiring ARC reviewers!

I appreciate the differing text boxes and designs on each page! It helped me to stay focused and digest the information that was being given to me. It wasn’t overwhelming and reads more so like a compilation of informative flyers than a textbook-like guide.

I’m going to change the way that I approach writing reviews after reading this.

I recommend this resource to anyone that reviews books online! :)

Thank you to We Are Bookish for another amazing guide. I've been a member of NetGalley for awhile and my reading habits have slowed over the years but I've ramped them up. This guide is perfect for new users to the platform as well as people like myself, who are rediscovering reading and want to make sure they are taking advantage of the platform the best they can and providing the best feedback to authors and publishers. I'm already getting so many more approvals and discovering so many new books and authors!

Thank you to NetGalley for this Book advocate toolkit. This is a great way for readers to learn how to create hype around a book they loved!

This toolkit not only provides a handful of tips and tricks to get started on NetGalley, but it also includes vital information on the way NetGalley works.

Through concise and thoroughly organized pages, this toolkit helps explain the basic functions of the website. I found it extremely helpful in understanding how everything worked. Not only that, but it also provides a starting point for both how a profile should look and the ways a review should be written. I found the review writing portion to be the most useful as I had always struggled with creating an effective review before chancing upon this.

I believe that anyone just starting out would benefit greatly from looking over this toolkit. I also think that those who have been using NetGalley for longer should take a look as well! It could help provide information on an area someone may be struggling with, regardless of their time on the website.

This concise yet effective guide is perfect for newcomers like me who are just starting on NetGalley.

It is vibrant, well-organized, and easy to follow. It introduced me to several helpful tricks and tips I wasn’t aware of.

What stands out is the guide’s blend of practical advice and pretty design. The tips and tricks are presented in clear, bulleted slides, making the content both engaging and easy to digest.

I highly recommend this guide to any new NetGalley member who feels overwhelmed or unsure about where to begin.

We requested this book after having several unsuccessful request attempts on NetGalley. Looking through blogs we came across this book and it has been so valuable.

The information is incredibly succinct as well as being set up in a very aesthetically pleasing way. It kept us engaged from start to finish. It has been so incredibly helpful and we would 100% recommend it to anyone who has just opened a NetGalley account and needs some advice/guidance. Very grateful we found this.
