Super handy to read through as someone who’s just been approved for their first ARC! Good to keep around to refer back to. Thank you NetGalley for putting this together!

Great reminders on how to use NetGalley effectively. I appreciated the tip to go look at my subscriptions too!

As suggested in this guide, I’m working my way through my NetGalley shelf. And I found this super helpful! ;-)

As a newbie to NetGalley this was exactly what I needed to get started. It answered the questions before I realized I had them. Thank you for creating this guide!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is sure to be of use to inexperienced (me) and experienced (not me) book reviewers.

This is a helpful toolkit! I've been reviewing books on Netgalley for a few years and learned a few new things. Thanks!

A very helpful guide for someone starting on NetGalley! I'll probably look at it again in the future.

This is a great tool for keeping up to speed with your reviews. I'm glad NetGalley have updated it. Recommended to new and not so new reviewers alike!

So, so helpful for getting started with NetGalley!! I also love that it’s continuously updated so you know you always have the best and most recent information.

Super helpful, especially the tips for the reviews !! I always struggle with writing reviews as I never know what to say / how to articulate my feelings so hopefully these tips will help :)

Great resource for reviewers! I loved the reminders about how reviews work, what to focus on when writing reviews, and where to find all the important pieces of information in NetGalley.

Very helpful, and I love that it's constantly updated! Thanks NetGalley for always looking out for us.

The NetGalley book advocate toolkit was a really informative read.

Whether you are new to NetGalley, or have been a member for years it gives a good insight into what a publisher will be looking for, tips to improve your profile and reviews.

I'm really glad I downloaded this - I am looking to get more serious with my reviews so this was such an important read for me

I love the new update, there are lots of new hints and times to using NetGalley. Thank you, I will definitely make use of this toolkit.

Always a useful tool for getting the best out of my experience on NetGalley. Thanks for the latest tips!

This was a neat idea to put together this summer. I did have some problems with trying to keep up with it as I printed everything out, and then misplaced the papers. I am excited to see if this will be something new every year or was it just a one time fun thing for us readers to enjoy.

I read the NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit when it came out in 2022, but then got an email to say it had been updated, so downloaded the latest version. I think this would be an invaluable guide for someone starting out on their NetGalley adventure, but I didn’t find much that was new - some links to the Wearebookish site with various articles that I had already read. It’s 31 pages so didn’t take long though, and gets me one step closer to the 500 review badge!

What I was really hoping for was answers to some of the trickier NG questions:
what do you do when Amazon ban you and remove all your reviews for breaching their wide ranging “community guidelines”
Why are all the books I want to request Wish For It only - and will I ever get a Wish granted?
When will there be a dedicated NG site for Australasia that doesn’t exclude us from all the good stuff?
Please explain how to use hashtags in a way that Gen Xers can understand
And why don’t I get orange pencils anymore when I used to get loads!

I'm now four years in with NetGalley and I'm STILL learning things. I appreciated the sandwich reminder and truly believe it's helpful to newbies and also to more seasoned reviewers.

I have a friend who is a writer and she let me know I was telling too much about the plot. She said "If you're going to mention everything that happened in a book, why would the reader be bothered to read the book??" She's so right - and that is something I still have to remind myself of!

I hope Netgalley will continue to update their Book Advocate Toolkit from time to time. Everyone can use reminders and helpful tips! Thank you.

This revised edition of NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish is the perfect read for both new and experience Netgalley users. It covers everything from how to get set up, your profile, feedback ratio and how to write a review.

I found this to be extremely useful in understanding exactly how the different aspects of my profile impact how it's seen by publishers. I'll be sure to continue referring to this guide and highly recommend it to all reviewers and other users on Netgalley.

Illistrauded FAQ, and instructions... yes please! There is so much to learn when using NetGalley and this is a very easy quick to review of the need to know highlights
