The Book Advocate Toolkit is an excellent tool for getting started on Netgalley. It was attractive graphically, well organized, and contained many helpful tips as I started reviewing on Netgalley. I highly recommend this toolkit for all new reviewers.

This guide was immensely helpful. Not only was the information, concise and pertinent but the graphics and the way that it is laid out, made it very easy to consume and put into practice. I truly feel that NetGalley has provided tools to help me write reviews, but also become a more thoughtful reader.

I think it was very nice that this was available through Netgalley.

Great resource! This definitely gave me some ideas for promoting books on my blog, and I look forward to more kits like this being available. Anything to give me ideas helps a ton.

This toolkit was very helpful to me, since I’m a fairly new bookstagram reviewer. The tips for Instagram were helpful. I don’t have much experience in the publishing world so using NetGalley was a little intimidating at first. This toolkit explained everything, include the whys for what should and shouldn’t be done.

I thoroughly enjoyed this toolkit book. It helped me get started with my review journey as well as give me ideas on future plans.

It was perfectly laid out with clear instructions and simple layout. Overall definitely a 5 star rating for me.

A very helpful booklet that I'll likely revisit. Some extremely unseful advice regarding the platrform and ratios as well as review advice.

A very welcome source for all Netgalley users who want to be successful in acquiring ARCs. It gives you all tools you need and advance in to include in reviews.

Very good and helpful information! I’m a beginner reviewer and it’s a little tricky to get started, so this information is a great help. Thank you.

This is such a helpful toolkit! At first, I was a little cautious, assuming it would be more of a slog to read through. However, it's very concise and extremely well-organised. I was able to easily skip to the sections that pertain to me and I was so interested that I even read the sections that didn't.

The graphics and colour schemes are really cute and I liked the overarching theme throughout. It contains some very helpful information and tips for things I have been considering such as starting a booktube account or possibly a booktok one.

I was quite confused about whether or not I was supposed to add quotes in my reviews (having seen mixed answers) but this cleared that up. Hint: don't!

Would recommend every reviewer read this first!

Great advice for folks who are new to NetGalley. It might need a little updating, though. I'm super confused about the best practices around mentioning ARCs in reviews. This toolkit says it's mandatory, but so many people are losing their ability to review on Amazon because they mention it. I'm too scared to lose my ability to review, so I'm just not reviewing ARCs on Amazon at all. I feel like that's probably hurting my approval rating with publishers. Lots of us are in this position, it would be really helpful if Netgalley could help us navigate this.

This was a really quick read but covered a lot of important and useful points for reviewing. I'll happily keep referring back to this for any pointers that I need!

The NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit was a quick read with valuable information. If you are someone who would like to learn more about book reviews this a great place to begin. Information regarding how to set up your account, how to market yourself to reviewers, where to go to find book options, tips to help with reviews and so much more can all be found within. There are multiple reviewer types and reviewer platforms and this book goes through each. Several “to do” and “don't do” tips are shared which can be invaluable. If you’re a brand new reviewer or someone who has been doing this a long time this book is for you. I will absolutely be referencing this one in the future. Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to review.
