This is extremely helpful in creating a better reviewer profile, glad that I was able to look through it and will be implementing what it suggests.

10/10 must read book for everyone starting their adventures on NetGalley (like me!).
This book details all features available on NetGalley, even the hidden ones that you might not notice just by exploring the site by yourself. It also teaches you how to give proper reviews and offers you links to articles that dive deeper into certain topics (e.g. definitions of ARC/DRC). As someone who likes to read manual before using a new product, I truly appreciate We Are Bookish for providing this thoughtful guidance book. I love how every page is designed individually (cheerfully I must add!) and every info is presented in a clear and concise manner, Looking forward to reading more books from We Are Bookish, thank you :)

This is a great resource for new reviewers! I love the layout and it’s very easy to interpret. I’ll definitely look back at this from time to time.

This was a very straight forward and informative book. It gives the run down of NetGalley like the nitty gritty like membership types, setting up accounts, feedback ratios, and book requests. It also goes over book reviews tips, how to write them, and even discusses when to DNF. As someone whose only heard of NetGalley and wasn't sure how to actually use it properly this book was really helpful to get me started.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a concise yet comprehensive guide for NetGalley users, covering everything from setting up a profile to requesting books and understanding publisher expectations.

As a newcomer, I found this book incredibly helpful—it gave me a clear roadmap for my NetGalley journey. The engaging layout and graphics made it a fun read. This guide isn’t just for beginners; even experienced users can benefit. Highly recommended for all NetGalley users!

Very informative toolkit! Wish I had seen it right when I joined NetGalley. I will look back on this for reference.

I wish I found this book when I first started using NetGalley. It is a wonderful asset when just starting out, or even just needing a refresher.

It provides helpful guides on the interworking's of NetGalley, and I think anyone interested in ARC reading or even using NetGalley should take the time to read this quick toolkit.

I think by reading this toolkit, I will be able to make more cognitive decisions on which books I choose, and how I write my reviews. This toolkit was exceptionally useful! I highly recommend it!

This book includes very useful tips for navigating NetGalley. As someone who is new to sharing book reviews online, I found the tips very helpful. This will be a book I refer to often.

This was a very informative and helpful handbook. Great tips on how to get publishers to select you for book and keep your profile up to date

Everything the beginner book advocate needs to get started clearly organized in one place. I found the FAQs on the website to be very helpful, but it's great to have a quick reference guide that is so easy to reference and navigate.

Super helpful, I joined NetGalley about six, maybe nine months ago and didn’t know how to use it until I checked out the ToolKit

This guide contains a lot of helpful tips I was not aware of. It is concise yet informative.
I will certainty come back to reference this toolkit regularly.

Extremely helpful NetGalley 101 book. Definitely something to reference as you find your footing on the platform.

I thought that this was useless and that I knew how to do a review and interact with the platform, and I download it only for ratio, but guess what, I was wrong, those tips are very usefull

This is such a great guide for all netgalley users, new and old! Such handy tips for how to create a profile, the process of requesting titles, how to keep your feedback percentages healthy (don't request too many at a time!) and so much more!!

The lay out of this guide is super clear and the example of a review is really helpful for those who are not experienced in this area.

I will definitely be referring to this guide again!

It is super helpful for newer ARC readers, and it has good tips for those who have been doing it for a while. Has a great introduction to how the website works and the things publishers are looking for. I found the section on how to write a review especially helpful since I tend to struggle with that.

This is a great guide! It definitely helped me learn more about NetGalley and what authors/publishers look for. I also didn't know about the “will not give feedback” feature so that was helpful to read more about!
