I love this guide! Well written and easy to read, exactly what we’re looking for in a toolkit. I feel ready to start confidently reviewing books.

Lots of other communications tips in there too which can be used in your general social media presence and feel like a bonus. Nicely illustrated Which I found makes it more engaging.

Highly recommend this to anyone starting or struggling with using NetGalley and reviewing books.

Thank you NetGalley!

This book was super helpful and gave some great tips for beginning NetGalley users. This toolkit used handy graphics to concisely explain how to best utilize this website and obtain books for review. I am so happy that I read this before I began reviewing books. It even helped me to start a Bookstagram! I will be refencing this in the future and I highly recommend to all NetGalley users.

This book was very helpful in getting started with NetGalley. Granted I was already doing a lot of the things it talked about but it was nice little encouragement.

This is very informative for a newbie to this website. It used catchy infographics. Importantly, simple terms were used, which made things easier to understand.

I have been reading and reviewing for a long while.
Sometimes I get in a slump and can't read at all.
This book is very helpful! The ideas and tips written on fun pages help to give you a jumpstart.
Today I am working on reviews that I have failed to write. I feel excited about reading again!

Thank you so much, NetGalley for the chance to read and review this really helpful book!

Helpful guide. I certainly wish I had this when first starting my reviewing hobby. However, it will come in handy now and in the future. When I feel reviews need a refresh I will reference this guide with certitude. Anyone starting out reviewing should read this - it will help tremendously.

Very interesting read on book platforms. Provides me with information to grow my book social media.

Organized breakdown on how to discuss books online.

This is a great guide to being a better book advocate from NetGalley. I will be saving my copy to refer back to often, and I appreciate NetGalley offering guides like this! Although most of the information was not new to me as a long time bookstagrammer and NetGalley user, I think this is the perfect guide to hand to someone newer to the site who wants to know how to put their best reviews forward.

I'm very grateful for this toolkit, as NetGalley is still fairly new to me! As a librarian, I'm sort of an outsider to the world of booktube etc., so this gave me a better idea of what people are looking for on other venues and how I can incorporate that into my own way of doing things on my blog. The text was of a readable font, the graphics were attractive, and I can see myself utilizing what I learned and referring back to this book when I need a fresh dose of inspiration.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this for review (and for use)!

This little net galley tool-kit was perfect for me who just signed up and is in need of a little guidance.
It it thorough and presents the do's and don'ts for a review very clear.
Thank you

I found this guide to be incredibly helpful in assisting me in getting started with reviews! I felt somewhat lost and like had no idea where to start, but this guide gave me a good starting point by providing insight that was easy to understand even for a beginner.

This is a handy book to have--it's full of great information that anyone from beginners to experienced reviewers can use.
One thing that would be handy is a Table of Contents that linked to the specific section of the book. Active links would save a bit of time scrolling through the entire book to find one section, especially if I was looking up something specific while working on a review.

This is a very helpful intro to becoming a book reviewer. Easy to understand, excellent infographics and answered all the questions I had going into this.

So helpful! Thank you for publishing this! Makes me want to expand beyond Goodreads and try my hand at social media reviews. Very good advice on managing requests and reviews to keep your feedback ratio in good standing. I’m definitely guilty of the request spree and have paid the price.

This was a very helpful read! I'm still trying to figure NetGalley stuff out, and it can definitely be disheartening when you get all your requests declined and don't really know what you should be doing. I can definitely see myself coming back to this when I feel like I need some additional ideas or help!

Well done NetGalley! Despite having been part of NetGalley for years I've struggled to keep up with making time to do reviews (approval sprees are to blame!) And I really wish this had been written and circulating when I first joined because it's been so useful!! I love it and I have to say I've printed it so I can refer back to it and refresh myself whenever I need to. Definitely a win.

This helpful PDF is so useful for a new member to the NetGalley community. Not only does it provide some excellent tips for setting up for NetGalley, but it also gives some great advice on how to write a review as well as information across various social media platforms. As someone who posts reviews mostly on Instagram, this was appreciated. The document is easy to read and the fun design helps digest all of the information inside.
