This toolkit is a fantastic starting point if you’re new to NetGalley. The information is organized, clear, and concise—perfect for avoiding that initial feeling of being overwhelmed. It breaks the process down into simple, manageable steps, and the document itself is short and easy to digest.
What I especially appreciated is the flexibility: you can read it straight through for a quick overview, or follow the many embedded hyperlinks for a much deeper dive into each topic. I did both—reading the concise version while also exploring the linked resources—and found the extra materials to be incredibly valuable!
The tips on writing a strong bio were particularly useful; I was able to make improvements to mine right away. Overall, it’s an excellent resource with a wealth of information, and I highly recommend it to anyone starting their NetGalley journey.

Thank you for the toolkit with tips about NetGalley. It’s been very helpful. I will continue to use it for current and future requests.

Very helpful information 5/5 stars
I'm a big fan of books and I'm looking to find new books and authors to discover and review. My favorite categories are romance and thriller.

I had downloaded the previous Book Advocate Toolkit and found it really helpful! I was happy to see that it's been updated and revised to include even more information this time. I've been using NetGalley for 10 years so I'm pretty familiar with the website and request process, but I always learn something new. I really appreciated the chart showing whether or not to leave a review if you DNF a book!
