Another short and cute handbook for prospective media reviewers from We Are Bookish and Netgalley. As I get back into the swing of things on my reading and reviewing journey, I appreciate all the free resources they have put together for us. If you're new to the platform, need a refresher, or are just wondering why your profile hasn't been approved for anything lately I suggest giving this handbook a quick skim - you might just find something you need to work on.

Thank you to #NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this short resource #BookAdvocateToolkit for free to your readers and reviewers. (If you'd like to read this, you can download a copy directly on NetGalley)

Every website should come with a guide like this!

As a new reviewer, it was so helpful to have an overview of not only the full site, but what my responsibilities as a reviewer are. When I started, I had questions of what kind of information my review should have and what kind of information is okay for me to post to social media / other review sites and when. I feel like this guide cleared up that question and so many other questions I didn't even know I had!

It was visually appealing and contained links to other resources that I know will be just as helpful. I have a feeling I'll come back to this guide at least a few times as I get acquainted with NetGalley. Thank you for providing this helpful Toolkit for newbies like me!

I’ve been on NetGalley for about 6 months, but I’d only been requesting books here and there. Now that I’ve committed to reading and reviewing more frequently, I wanted a refresher. I was particularly interested in the review tips, and will refer back to them any time I get stuck. The flow chart showing what steps to take when you might want to DNF a NetGalley ARC is another standout. Thanks so much for this invaluable free resource!

This was very interesting and useful for new NetGalley users. It describes the various way to request books, and view and download books to your devices. It also gives a good well detailed overview of the website. And the graphics made it easy to read and then show us in tutorials how to navigate through other parts of the sites. I liked the additional articles, on social media postings as well, as that can be helpful to most of us who use TikTok, Goodreads , and bookstagram, and YouTube. Thank you for the copy.

I am new to netgalley and found this extremely helpful in beginning my journey as reviewer. I found it very informative and packed with lots of hints and tips! I will definitely be referring to this in the future when before my reviews

This book advocate toolkit was incredibly helpful to get started on NetGallery. I found a number of helpful tips, and the organization was easy to follow. I am grateful to have this on my NetGallery journey, as it is helping me set myself up for success.

This is such a great review of how to be the best book advocate possible. Thanks for the information!

Great! Thank you for the free resource It has been really helpful starting out on this site!

It has given me an invaluable insight and advice into how to develop my profile and write reviews!

A helpful guide to how to best use netgalley. I wish I would've had this when I first joined the site, but it was nice to read over.

This is a really helpful guide to NetGalley - especially for a new user, it's a really great place to start.

I picked up lots of useful tips and advice, and it reminded me to link my NetGalley account to my kindle.

The section on writing reviews will be invaluable and I'm sure I'll refer back to it often.

This guide was so helpful in knowing how to start on NetGalley and really excited me for the beginning of this journey! It helps that the presentation is so cute and well put together. I really liked the additional tips on what makes a good review, especially as someone who is just getting started in this space. It's useful to know both what makes a good review from the opinion of the reader, but also to the publisher themselves as well.

A comprehensive guide on how to use NetGalley and how to become a better book advocate. This guide helped me to understand my mistakes and gave me new insight on how to write better reviews

U found this super helpful! As someone already familiar with NetGalley, I found the first half of this guide to be a good review and appreciated the tips provided in the second half.

This toolkit is incredibly helpful and definitely a must for anyone looking to delve into ARCs. I can totally see myself referencing this one again in future! Thank you, NetGalley!

In today's digital age, there are a lot of opportunities to apply your interests in fun, new and different ways. Writing book reviews is one. This booklet is meant to help you navigate how to put your best foot forward on NetGalley.

At 30 pages, the booklet isn't an exhaustive guide and it's not exhausting to read. It focuses on offering concise, easy-to-follow advice on making the most of your NetGalley profile and presence. The author provides simple, step-by-step instructions and hot tips. The writing is clear, the tone is friendly, and it does well to avoid technical jargon, making it accessible for everyone.

It's worth a read. Just know that if you download it, you need to write a review for it. The other advice I would have like to have known is that it's a short read, so don't stress trying to figure out how to download it to your Kindle/e-Reader. I made several attempts to do so and finally tried just looking at the download.

I didn’t even know this little toolkit existed! This is super helpful especially going into the new year and requesting ARCS! Lots of great tips when starting out and creating your profile. I can’t recommend NetGalley enough—so so grateful for their platform!

I must have been too excited to notice this book when I first started using NetGalley about a month ago, but it was so helpful to have many of my questions on what to do if I don't necessarily find a book to my liking, why my request may be denied and how to improve my profile overall. It also gave me tips I didn't know I needed and would obviously recommend starting out with this book when starting your journey.

Found this super helpful as a reviewer. I've been on this site for a couple years now but liked that Netgally sent this out to us.

I honestly like how this gives tips and insights on reviewers and publishers and helps with the relationships between the two. Great read for anyone!

I'm grateful for this orientation. It shows this company's commitment to creating great relationships between reviewers and publishers by educating reviewers, making sure that the technology/platform is navigable and setting appropriate expectations.
