Helpful guide for experts and newbies…

I’ve been on NetGalley for a few years and I stumble my way around okay but would love to do better. This toolkit was just what I needed. I was looking for help on how to do better and I found it!
Written by an NG team I follow already, the tips included in this quick read were practical, easy to follow and will prove to be helpful. Ranging from hints on how to set up and maintain your profile and put your best reviewing foot forward on various platforms (including Booktok) the suggestions were clear, concise and well laid out. It also included links to more in-depth support.

Recommended for anyone book reviewing online who wants to expand (or improve their footprint) on reviewing platforms, improve their approval rating (and reduce those rejections!) or simply needs help managing their urge to take on more than they can handle (that would be me!).

This was helpful for getting started with NetGalley, although some of the social media tips felt fairly redundant/self-explanatory for readers who already use social media.

Really useful for both new and existing members
I’ve been a member for years but it was great to catch up on new ideas and be reminded of the basics too

Really helpful guide to NetGalley and reviewing books in general! The graphics were really good too! Recommended read for people new to reviewing.

This is a very helpful broad overview of NetGalley, great when you are first starting out in the social media/reviewing world.

I have been looking for a one stop spot to find everything I need to be efficient and enjoy Netgalley, this was perfect for that. Thank you Netgalley

An informative and helpful quick guide for getting started with NetGalley. It mainly focuses on tips for reviewing and enhancing your content on social media platforms. It could benefit from a page that highlights tips for reiviewing on designated review sites, but overall, it was easy to navigate and provides enough insight for anyone starting out with NetGalley.

This is a great resource for reviewers new to NetGalley and a great refresher for more seasoned reviewers.

Very helpful user guide for those just starting on NetGalley or for those long term users with questions.

This was very helpful and the information is very clearly and on point. I am sure I will put this information in good use.

Pretty helpful if basic guide to how to use NetGalley and other social tools to start meaningful conversations about books.

This kit is extremely helpful in knowing how to begin this process and effectively review advanced copies. Highly recommend for any NetGalley users!

This toolkit was incredibly helpful, I wish it had been around when I first started with NetGalley! Thank you very much!!

This is a very helpful kit - I wish I'd had it when I was new to NetGalley. I like the layout and links to further information, such as Tips for Battling Reviewer's Block. It really is a great toolkit.

I really appreciate this toolkit as it is full of really helpful tips in how to write more useful and complete reviews.

This tool kit will be very helpful when writing reviews. I like the graphics and it has good organization.

This toolkit is very useful and gives good tips on how to tackle the main obstacles a reviewer faces as a beginner. The book greatly focuses on reviewers whose audiences are found online in the form of Instagram, Youtube, a blog, etc., which is understandable. Nevertheless, I wish there were more tips to boost other reviewers profiles, even if they are a minority.

Really helpful for giving insightful and useful reviews. Plenty of good tips. I can see this being useful for someone newer to book reviewing but it has helpful advice for more experienced people too.

As designed, this helpful 'toolkit' will guide the 'new-to-NetGalley" and also some who have been at it for a while, to create good and better reviews as well as teach ways to disseminate these reviews in clever, fun and creative ways. Those reviewers who are more 'tech savvy' will be able to be even more engaging in being a book advocate extra-ordinaire. This through using their Blog, Bookstagram, YouTube, Booktoc, Twitter, hashtags and more. Give it a go!

This was helpful and will be used in future reviews. The information is easy to digest and there are a lot of great tips.
