NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolbox is a practical, easy-to-digest guide that walks readers through how to make the most of ARCs (Advance Reader Copies) and how to write reviews that are both professional and influential. As someone who wants to contribute meaningfully to the book community, I found this guide straightforward, motivating, and packed with clear strategies.

This is a well laid out guide for NetGalley users, whether you’re new to the site or have been using it a while. After reading it I made some changes to my profile in order to better reflect my personality. It was super helpful because it shows you all of the things the publishers are looking for, and how to do those things correctly.

Thank you NetGalley for helping to ensure that we have the information to leave thoughtful and detailed reviews. The infographics were clear and were visually laid out in a way that made them easy to follow, and the information contained inside was detailed enough to make things clear without being so wordy as to make it hard to comprehend. The embedded links and specific references to where to find certain items on the website made it very easy to follow along and figure out how to check all of our reviewing boxes!

Very helpful insight for using Netgalley and making the most of the service! Features many helpful tips to get started and avoid newbie Netgalley mistakes. I liked the example provided for how to review as sometimes I get writers block when it comes to finally writing up the review for a book I've read.

"Netgalley reviews are feedback for publishers" I had to let that one sink in for a minute. I thought the primary reason was to create buzz, I learn everyday.

The information on app features and publishers is a game changer, it felt like I was getting cheat codes. It's up-to-date with changes in social media platforms which is amazing for staying relevant.

If you don't read this you are only wasting your own time.

Succinct intro to NetGalley and reviewing, highly recommended to newbies, and even if you've been here a little while, there still might be one or two new bits of info / features. A breezy read in its language, and a good length at 31p.
