This was a great guide! Way more thorough than I anticipated. I'd done research about NetGalley before reading my first ARC, so I wasn't sure if this toolkit would have much more to add, but it definitely did! It's a quick read and great to have on hand to return to if needed. Thanks NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this free toolkit :)

HUGE help. Thank you for this! Keeping it on my shelf for future reference. I utilized this guide immediately to enhance my profile and I do believe I've gotten quicker acceptance to requests since doing so. Such a great resource, that I've also followed We Are Bookish everywhere I can. Every NetGalley user needs to download and read this guide.

If you’re new to reviewing and putting your reviews on social media, this is very helpful. Also helpful if you’re wanting to branch out to another platform.

An accessible and easy to read visual reference for becoming a NetGalley book advocate. Presented in an easy to read visual format, this guide provides new reviewers with guidelines for creating the perfect book review across all platforms. I found helpful tips for my social media sites as well as NetGalley protocol, and even some ideas to keep in mind as I expand my bookish online presence. A reference guide to keep on hand and make frequent use of.

Very informative and cute graphics . Wish I had found this when I first found the site . There were some tips and tricks that I honestly never even thought I would need but I feel will make my experience moving forward a lot more rewarding.

This is a very helpful document for learning how to use NetGalley, review on social media, and use various tools and accounts. I will refer to this again when I am ready to expand to next steps in my reviewing process.

A concise collection of information about using NetGalley. Includes do’s and don’ts and many tips on writing reviews and posting on social media accounts, blogs, and vlogs. A helpful tool for a newbie.

This booklet provides information on how reviewers can reach wider audiences and receive more books via NetGalley. It is published by NetGalley's team via their We Are Bookish blog/newsletter. It was a good guide to quick questions that new reviewers may have and includes overviews of book/social media engagement such as youtube, goodreads, or tiktok. It was recently published but may need consistent updates to follow social media trends.

Super helpful guide for getting started with NetGalley and maximizing the benefits for everyone involved, for you as a reader and reviewer and for the author. Anyone interested in using NetGalley will benefit from reading this. Though I've been using NetGalley for about 18 months, I learned a lot. Thanks, NetGalley, for developing this useful resource!

A great beginners guide for maximising the use of netgalley and social media site. The most helpful section was on how to create reviews that will draw readers to your sites. The authors advise that this is a live document and that it will be updated as things change.

Most of the content in this guide was a fairly basic introduction to using NetGalley, but I did learn a little bit more about what publishers are looking for in profiles and in reviews. Most importantly, I didn't realize the "free copy" disclaimer was required - oops! (That should have been much clearer on the site as a whole, though.)
The layout was visually appealing and easy to read. Overall, I could see this being good as a mandatory first book for every new member, but I found it less helpful as an experienced reviewer.

This was such a helpful tool to have a read through and will be something I refer back to as well! Thank you NetGalley

This toolkit is an excellent resource, especially for newer reviewers. Tons of great tips and common sense advice.

This is a fantastic and beautiful guide to getting started seriously working with NetGalley. It's full of tips form the general, such as how to write a review and keep up with your NetGalley requests, to the very specific, such as how to tag well on TikTok and Twitter. I took notes while reading this on specific things to help kickstart 1000 WAYS OUT, my new book blog, and I've saved the PDF for future rereads when I need tips. Thank you Bookish and NetGalley for creating this guide!
