A good and helpful guide full of hints and tips for using netgalley. Highly recommend having a read especially if you are new to the platform as this is a handy start up guide

This is an extremely helpful resource for someone new to NetGalley! I will definitely refer back to it in the future! Thank you, WeAreBookish!

This is pretty helpful toolkit that clarified a lot of things for me about NetGalley. It has lot of information and tips that I will definitely be implementing right away. I found the social media tips especially helpful as someone who is trying to grow bookish social media accounts.. Thank you NetGalley for providing this comprehensive guide to the site! This is something I will refer back too many times.

Dieser kleine Guide ist wirklich sehr hilfreich. Und das nicht nur im Bezug auf das Rezensionschreiben für Hörbücher und Bücher, sondern auch fürs Bloggen, plotten von Kontent und dem Aufbau SocialMedia Accounts. Dabei wird sich nicht nur drauf bezogen, was mann definitiv und unbedingt machen sollte, sondern auch was man definitiv vermeiden sollte.

Gut finde auch sehr gut, dass eine große Bandbreite an Socialmedia Plattformen vorgestellt werden mit Beschreibungen für wen sich was eignet.

Dieser Guide eigenet sich meiner Meinung nach vor allem für die, die mit Netgalley gerade starten und sich eine SocialMedia Account rund um Bücher und Rezensionen aufbauen wollen. Dafür ist es wirklich empfehlenswert.

This was a fantastic and user friendly overview that will help you get started on NetGalley. After revving some denials, I grabbed this to get scoop on what I needed for my profile. This walked me through the mechanics in a digestible and visually appealing way. I'd highly suggest every user read this!

Excellent introduction to NetGalley - a bit cartoonish for my tastes, but the content is complete, upbeat, and informative. I was particularly interested in how to recover a tanked ratio...working on that now, although I have now reviewed a few books that I shelved under "no feedback" long ago and my ratio hasn't budged. I don't know why that is - perhaps ones that are too old are not considered reviewable. No matter, I'm going to go through that list. The toolkit is very much worth a read.

This was a super fast read. It won’t give any new information to those with a lot of reviewing experience, but for new people just starting out it’s a wonderful resource.
The book covers:
Review etiquette
How to write a review
Navigating negative feedback

Social media

Getting approved by publishers

It was a helpful book in figuring out the complicated world of reviewing books. It offers many tools and solutions from how to give a review to how navigate the social media side of things. This is something I will refer back too many times.

I fjnd it odd being asked to leave a review for this book... asking for feedback, I get, but a review? A bit of self promotion there Netgalley! 😊

Okay... it's an okay book. I've been a terrible reviewer in recent years as I've had some severe health conditions to fight. So, I've been grabbing books to read, when well enough, but not reviewing. So my stats are terrible. Which is why I downloaded my free copy of this book.

It helped a little, but us really aimed at those new to Netgalley. And I think it a great companion book for said newbies.

Me? I found it a little condescending at times... but I'm a cynical "old" reviewer set in her ways. For someone just starting out though, I think this book would be a great help.

And, if you must know, I'm really just leaving a review so my already poor stats aren't damaged further by NOT leaving a review. I'm still not a fan of being forced to find something to say about a book just to keep your stats up. Say nothing, choose to not leave feedback, stats don't move, or go down, approval numbers vs feedback sent is skewed, and you look like a terrible reader reviewer. Thanks Netgalley! 😩

This is for sure a nice idea for people not really knowing anything about social media, but for the rest of the world.... I can imagine it would help if you really want to start blogging about your reads. It's not so much "deep knowledge", I don't know, I'm not that much into social media and there wasn't really something new to learn for me,. Maybe a tip for boomers?

Whilst browsing the 'read now' section, I located this helpful guide. I am fairly new to NetGalley so felt that I need all the help I can get to grow my profile, so I can get ARC of books I love and Authors I adore. This toolkit provides easy to read, helpful advice & tips to really ensure I can hopefully get approved by the books I request. I will definitely be putting these tips & tricks into practice and am off to sort out my profile now.

This was a pretty helpful toolkit that clarified a lot of things for me about NetGalley. It has a lot of information and nice tips that I will definitely be implementing right away. The only thing I wished it touched more on is whether or not having a non-Goodreads reviewing account is needed or suggested, along with more information about what publishers want in Goodreads reviewers. Other than that, it was a really great resource for me!

I was suggested this Toolkit through a NetGalley article and I am so incredibly glad I picked it up. I am new to NetGalley so I needed all the tips I could get! This Toolkit is not only visually appealing but breaks down each aspect of NetGalley so that the reader knows exactly what section to scroll to in order to get the tips they are seeking. There are different pages that guide the reader on what to do and how to review things on the various platforms in which people share reviews, making it useful for all.

Thank you for this excellent tips and tricks guide to your services! This outlined exactly how to use the website appropriately. I downloaded this and saved to my files for reference in the future.

Really useful and informative guide, would recommend to anyone starting on their ARC reading journey.

This short booklet was very informative - I wish I had read this before I signed up for Netgalley so I knew what I was exactly getting into. Presented in a very visual format are general tips (and links out to more), tips for writing book reviews, and information about using social media alongside Netgalley. While this social media section was informative, it may not apply to everyone and is slightly out of date (ie. Twitter). Regardless, this is a must read for all Netgalley users.

Comprehensive and easy-to-read, the Book Advocate Toolkit has everything you need know about NetGalley. A must-read for those just starting out!

This is a great resource for NetGalley users! The formatting was both easy to read and visually appealing. This resource is mostly useful for beginners, but as an experienced NetGalley reviewer, I even learned a few new tips. I found the social media tips especially helpful as someone who is trying to grow bookish social media accounts. I found the Instagram and blog sections to be the most in depth! Thank you NetGalley for providing us with this comprehensive guide to the site!

I wish I had read this when I signed up for Netgalley. Lots of good tips, even though I've been using it for years. I have been recommending Netgalley for years as well, and directing people to this guide will take away a lot of confusion. I'm giving it 5 stars, not because it's great reading, but because it does what it set out to do and does it quite well.

This is definitely great for newer reviewers and book influencers to get their foot in the door. It was extremely helpful for me in terms of figuring out what to say in reviews and how to structure them, but I must say the social media parts of the book weren’t as helpful. I feel like if that section were to be updated, creators could get more use out of this toolkit.
