Thank you NetGallery, for this Tool Kit! I'm such a noob when it comes to reviewing books. This helped me get all the basics so I can begin dipping my toes into this realm!
You guys are the best!!

This is an excellent guide to using NetGalley in the best way, with a great layout which made the guide easy to read. I learned some new things - like to always credit the publisher and NetGalley, and not to share quotes or interior art. I even took a bunch of screenshots of the helpful tips, for my own use going forward with my NetGalley journey.

Helpful guide to reviewing books on NetGalley and other social media, especially for those new to it.

Thanks for the toolkit! Very helpful. Although, it is odd that it counts your feedback rating if you don’t leave a review…

This toolkit is a well designed introduction to NetGalley and reviewing books in general. All the information is introductory, accessible, and honestly the design is just so cute.

Good resource for beginners or those who are looking for more information.
I wish it had more information on how to get more approved, or how often new books are added by the publisher, and when is a good time to start applying for more/another books to help with ratio.

This toolkit is very thorough, it provides everything you’d need to use NetGalley and other book sites efficiently. I particularly liked the tips on writing a book review and how to promote them, I feel more confident in my abilities now and can’t wait to use some of the new tools and ideas I got from this toolkit.

A great guide on how Net Galley works. It explains in detail the steps on how to request & acquire books, all the way up to how to write a good review. There is a good table of contents so you can search what you need in a timely manner. I highly recommend this read for new members AND current members, especially if you want to improve your ratio score.

Thank you for putting this together, NetGalley! The information is really helpful. I know this is not a typical book for review but, even so, it is appreciated.

I recently discovered NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit even though I’ve been on NetGalley for a few months now. I found this guide to be helpful, though I wish I knew it existed when I first started. I liked that the guide is short and sweet and easy to read. There are some great tips on how to review the books you read and also lots of good information on the social media platforms to use to share your reviews along with tips for each. I would have liked to see more information and guidance on the timing of sharing reviews. I know the publishers sometime provide their preference for when to publish a review but that information isn’t always included in the approval email. Overall, I found this to be a helpful tool for NetGalley users.
