NetGalley´s Book Advocate Toolkit is great tool for beginners and experienced book reviewers! The layout and design is amazing for easy understanding and the bite-size pieces of informations help to not feel overwhelmed. Instead it gives an easily usable guide. I appreciate the guides advice.

This is a very helpful guide and overview on how to get started using Net Galley. I definitely recommend printing it out and saving it as a reference. It gives an excellent outline for how to structure your reviews. I am a few reviews in, and I have referred back to it several times.

I want this in paperback:( What a blessing this has been. I have been a reviewer for 2-3 years now, maybe longer, i haven't kept track. I still feel like a newbie doing things the wrong way, incomplete etc. The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is helping me little by little to improve. Thank you for thinking of us beginners as well as those in the know. What a huge help! Wish I had this from the beginning! Even though I am not a blogger I am an avid reader reviewer an this provides tips across the board, different sites, different scenarios. Well done!

New Reviewer and NetGalley user here!

I found out about NetGalley a few months ago and had no idea where to start, I requested an ARC and was the immediately approved. I unfortunately, didn't really understand how this process worked nor did I think about the implications of not leaving a review when I was one of the selected readers.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit well, is very informative and delivered the perfect amount of clarification on the entire process.
This toolkit helped me revamp my bio, helped me understand the process of writing a review as well as offered many tips, tricks and links to other resources that I will find useful in the future.

I plan to keep this toolkit it in my phone to review whenever I need a refresher!

Bonus: The digital the presentation of this toolkit was very beautiful!
