This guide is an overview of the review process at NetGalley. I found it extremely helpful and will refer back to it again in the future. I recommend reading it as soon as you set up your NetGalley account and wish I would have read it then instead of after completing several reviews. However, I still found it extremely helpful. I’ve already made some updates to my profile and taken a few notes on submitting reviews. The format is very graphic and easy to consume. Thank you NetGalley for putting out this guide.

I would like to thank NetGalley for this Toolkit!
It is a very useful and helpful guide for NetGalley users both seasoned and new! It not only helps you create your profile but also gives tips and tricks for requesting and reviewing books, including how to structure and write good reviews! It is well formatted, easy to read and access, and contains links for additional information.
Those new to NetGalley will find this toolkit invaluable for understanding how it works and the reviewing platform. Even those who have been using NetGalley a while will find some of the information in this revised and updated edition of the toolkit helpful, or at least a good refresher! I found a lot of useful tidbits that will help me boost my review ratio and stay on top of my reviews!
Definitely a good reference guide to keep handy!

A great guide to making the best use of NetGalley from creating your portfolio to requesting and reviewing books. As a new user I found the section on structuring and writing book reviews particularly helpful. I would imagine experienced users would still find some nuggets of helpful information here.
The guide is also well formatted, easy to read, and contains links to additional information on each topic. Highly recommend for folks to gain a better understanding of the NetGalley platform.

I've been using NetGalley for a while, but this was a great refresher to help me boost my ratio and stay on track! I'll definitely be referring back to this guide in the future!

NetGalley’s updated guide for using the site puts the myriad of how to’s together in one convenient place for members. I’ve been on the site for a while, and I would have loved this quick-start guide as a reference. I’ll be spreading the word about this invaluable resource.
Thanks to NetGalley for the legwork putting this together. It’s visually appealing, and it includes convenient links in separate areas to different articles on the site for further reading.

This Book Advocate Toolkit is perfect for both new and seasoned Net Galley Reviewers. It gives so many tips and tricks that can help any of us stay focused.
Thank you to We Are Bookish and Net Galley for this Toolkit!

One top shop for reviewers to understand the process of reviewing and the requirements as well as details on building enthusiasm for the book.

I love all the fantastic resources you provide. Thanks so much. I used the journal on my Bookstagram all year.

Very helpful guide to provide book reviews that are attention getters. Good read for someone like me who's just starting reviewing books in exchange for ARC.s.

It is a reference book. I did not finish. It is a reference book. I did not finish. It is a reference book. I did not finish. It is a reference book. I did not finish. It is a reference book. I did not finish.

Great tool kit for anyone new to Net Galley! Lots of helpful hints and tricks, such a helpful resource.

This book was very helpful when writing my very first NetGalley review. It is an invaluable resource that I'm sure I'll refer to many times in the future.

Great guide for tips on setting up NetGalley and how to write reviews! I wish I had known about this resource sooner. I love the graphics and the layout is extremely easy to follow!

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a very useful tool, especially for those who are just starting out in the world of reviews and Netgalley. After reading the toolkit, I was able to make substantial changes to my profile to make it more appealing and informative. I was also able to get a greater understanding of how Netgalley works and ways to improve my experience as a book reviewer.

Just the guide I needed! While I may disagree with some of its advice (in the age of the Internet, there is no reason to waste review space summarizing a book), it has been invaluable as I develop my reviewer skills. Anyone who is interested in getting their book reviews notices, on NetGalley or anywhere, should check it out.

The guide is very detailed! I love the layout and the explanations are clear and concise, with links to articles that go into more detail on the blog. It's a great resource for anyone who's already using Netgalley (like me) and wants to complete their profile or discover aspects they didn't know about, as well as for people who want to have all the information on how it works before taking the plunge. I used the tips to rewrite my bio.

Amazing guide for how to build your NetGalley profile and do other various things like navigate the website, find books that interest you, know what kind of feedback publishers are looking for and what information they're looking for from a reviewer's profile. There's some great tips and tricks that I will definitely use in the future when I am working on perfecting my NetGalley profile (a constant work in progress) and writing better and more thorough reviews. I always want to get better in order to provide the best feedback I can, so other readers spend their time wisely and I get the enormous privilege of enjoying new releases in the process. I really appreciate NetGalley, the publishers, and the authors for sharing their works of art with us here. I also appreciate NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this handy guide. Thank you!

Thank you NetGalley for providing this complimentary copy of NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit. Following the advice in this book, I made a couple of changes to my profile and my reviewing process.

The cover drew me in! I love how all the content is laid out in a concise and friendly way. This allows Book Advocates to be able to succeed in NetGalley. As soon as I read the sample bio, I had to create my own.
My favorite part of this Toolkit is the Review Example which is beautifully laid out in a way that gives me the details of a good review. Thank you We Are Bookish for this amazing Toolkit for Book Advocates.

Start here! This is so helpful if you have no idea where to staff. I’m new to NetGalley and found this very insightful.
