Okay, so I’m new to NetGalley and honestly had no idea where to start—but downloaded NetGalley’s Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish.

If you’re just getting started like me (or even if you’ve been reviewing for a while), this is a must-read to help you format your profile and reviews.

I’d already reviewed 5+ books on NetGalley before discovering this super helpful guide… *facepalm* … but I’m still so glad to have found it now since I’m still new to the NetGalley life. What a great resource! I screenshotted a few pages to find quickly on my phone. Thank you NetGalley for all these wonderful guides!!

This is a goldmine for both newcomers and seasoned reviewers. Packed with practical tips, it demystifies everything from building a standout profile to boosting your feedback ratio and navigating the platform's ins and outs. Even if you think you've already mastered NetGalley, this guide offers fresh tricks and reminders that can take your book advocacy to the next level. A must-have companion for any digital reader!

Very thorough and incredibly helpful for starting your journey of ARC reading on NetGalley. Kind of wish I'd found this before I'd started my account, but I'm still very early in the process so I can implement the recommendations from now on.
