This guide will be very helpful to new users in setting up their NetGalley accounts. It is also useful to seasoned users who might want to improve their reviews. Thank you to the NetGalley team for sharing this with us!
NetGalley’s Toolkit provided so much helpful information for setting up your account. It provides tips on writing reviews and walks you through the steps to submit books to your kindle.
As a beginner ARC, this text was very infornational in how to provide feedback and updating your profile for better future chances of selection. In addition, it tells you the importance of how to gear yourself up for providing feedback and staying organized in a timely manner.
Very easy to follow and helpful for setting up your account. Great tips for starting out and how to begin the process. Thank you for the information.
I sincerely appreciate all of the tools that NetGalley offers to assist in the review writing process.
Ah! What a handy toolkit for someone reviewing books here! I wish I had this when I was just starting out!
It is also good to know the reasons your requests might be rejected, or how you can optimise your profile for particular publishers - this kind of information is very empowering and can level the playing field for different reviewers here.
I also like how Netgalley knows our habits so well - "Avoid the request spree" had me chuckling.
Great book providing an overview on writing reviews along with tips and advice for sharing on social media and blogs.
I found this book to be extremely helpful, thank you!
I skipped around the book to help me with writing my first review for NetGalley. I enjoyed the layout of the document . It make it easy to read. I also found this booklet to be thorough in the information provided.
Helpful information for someone getting more serious about reviewing and publishing reviews. Lots of ideas that I can refer back to!
I enjoy reviewing books and have been a member of Netgalley for some years. I’m always looking for ways to improve my reviews and make them appealing to potential readers. This little handbook really hits that spot and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s new to reviewing. It’s packed with tips and whilst much of it is common sense, it does provide a framework to shape all reviews. It can be daunting knowing where to start when you first set out as a reviewer. With the help of this guide, reviews will shape easily into concise and interesting pieces and will serve as a useful reminder for this occasions where you lose focus and don’t know quite what to write.
The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit gives so much great advice to newbies wanting to join and get into reviewing the books they read; I mean why not post your thoughts on what you read in the hopes it helps others? This book helped me to understand my Feedback Ratio and why it's so important. It also gives great information on where I can post my reviews such as Goodreads, Booktube, and BookTok, although I personally only tend to post to Goodreads and Amazon, as well as my own blog, when I remember I even have one. If you are new to requesting ARCs and posting your reviews, this is the perfect toolkit for you!
I would have preferred if it had been a form fillable pdf, and if the TOC had linked to the relevant sections.
Appreciating all your tips—being a newcomer to NetGalley, they’ve proven incredibly helpful.
Looking ahead, I’ll certainly incorporate these insights into my future reviews.
A big thank you to the NetGalley team!
This is a great little guide. Its such a.lovely thing for Netgalley to provide to their members. Very useful and full if helpful information
A comprehensive yet quick primer on leaving book reviews across the many digital review platforms currently available.
This was a very helpful tool and booklet to learn how to navigate NetGalley. I appreciate the time & work that the people at We Are Bookish put into it.
Thank you so much Netgalley for this resource! This kit gives you information about the Netgalley platform and how to utilize it. Not only that, it also gives helpful tips and tricks for writing reviews, and using the different social media platforms in the best way. I'm so glad that I found this kit, it will be a great help for my book journey
Love it and will use it to further improve my reviews. Helpful insights for making better content surrounding book reviews.
This intro really helped me plan the structure of my reviews. I am not yet a bookstagrammer or booktok reviewer but now I have some ideas to get started. I thought the section on what to do if you have “reviewer’s block” was very helpful. The graphics were a nice touch.
Very useful toolkit; Helps NetGalley members understand the platform, how to request books and give feedback, and what the feedback ratio means.
There are also tips on what information should be included in a review, how to write a review, how to then promote that review; (and one of my favorite sections) how to format a personal blog.
Thankyou NetGalley for this wonderful resource!!
