Member Reviews

Perfect guide for the do's and don'ts for anyone who is just started to use Netgalley and are terrified by the process, for already existing members who want to get the most out of their reviews. I did learn a thing or two especially about keeping your profile up to date not only by keeping on top of your book reviews but also your personal profile. But also the most important thing is to grab the audiences attention straight away at the top of the review.

For me personally I need to make sure I add the publishers along side Netgalley when thanking

Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish for a copy of the book for an honest review.

Although I have been reading and writing reviews for years now, I find that there is always something new to learn. This is a helpful tool advising me of some ways to promote books in other ways such as “Bookstagram”. I have tried to post on Instagram but found it challenging. I now have some ideas on how to approach it again. I especially liked the reminder on how to stay on top of reviews. I am currently “catching up” desperately on past due reviews. Thanks for this helpful advocat toolkit!

Lots of great tips! Most of the intro material such as setting up an account and requesting titles was already familiar. Would appreciate more detail on interpreting denials (most are pretty generic and vague but specific examples or prompts for info to include) as well as possible prompts to use when writing reviews.

Thanks for this helpful guide, Netgalley. I found it concise and well laid out; I felt like the in for graphics made the information easy to take in. I was surprised at how much it covered - the tips for what to keep in mind for each platform were a nice addition. This is a book I expect to refer back to when I’m writing future reviews

A really useful guide and definitely something that I’ll utilise to improve my profile.

I like that it’s broken down into easy to digest chunks and doesn’t suggest lots of really elaborate activity.

Thank you NetGalley for giving a comprehensive and thoughtful guide for those who are starting out reviewing. This was well structured, easy to follow and demonstrated the main reviewing and feedback ratio objectives that reviewers should have.
