As someone new to writing reviews & reviewing Advance/Digital Review Copies, I appreciated that NetGalley had a resource like the Book Advocate Toolkit available, While the "housekeeping" sections under NetGalley 101 were useful in getting my bearings on the site, the Book Review section came in particularly helpful. Thanks for the resource!

This is a very thorough guide which covers NetGalley features, publisher expectations and reviewing tips. If you’re new to NetGalley, this is a very good starting place and can also help you with crafting your profile. I enjoyed reading it, there wasn’t too much text and the guide was clearly laid out so that the reader can scroll to the topic that they’re looking for. Thanks for providing this NetGalley, it’s been very useful and I might check out the We Are Booking blog also which has further tips.

This is a great tool for book advocates who are new to NetGalley or have already been members.

It The tips have helped me a lot, and I even found out how to put NetGalley into dark mode. Even though I am not a new NetGalley advocate, it has still helped me in many ways, and I will keep this handy and refer back to it as needed.

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!
