Member Reviews

Useful schematic overview with a lot of do's and don't's, especially for new members.

As a Netgalley member who has already reviewed 10+ books here (I know this isn't that much yet, but it means I'm already accustomed to the system), there wasn't any new information in this toolkit for me. The specific question I had in mind when consulting this book wasn't answered, but the toolkit did provide a few useful links to the Netgalley blog. So I'll definitely check out the blog more often from now on.

I would definitely recommend this short toolkit for everyone who is new to Netgalley and wants to get to know how it works (plus reading and reviewing this toolkit also adds to your ratio, so it's a win-win). For more advanced questions, I'd recommend to check out their blog (https://bookish.netgalley.com/).

I enjoyed reading this and learning tips and tricks to navigate through Netgalley. Although I’m not new to Netgalley, I did fall victim to the request spree and I’m working my way out of that.

I especially enjoyed the lesson on how to write a good bio. I immediately tweaked mine after that so that was helpful.
Another thing I enjoyed were the Canva lessons in regards to placing a book cover on an e reader. I’ve struggled with this before and the instructions provided helped me.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing this how to for all of us!

Excellent study guide to setting up your account on NetGalley. Do NOT skip this step and read ALL of it to the end. It is very detailed and sets you up for success in interacting with publishers, reviewing books, and crafting your profile.

Extremely useful for anyone that is starting in this world of sharing books online or someone that has already been in this world for a while and might need to help.

Helpful tips for someone brand new to book reviewing and social media. Pretty well known things for anyone who has dabbled in either beforehand.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a guide for regular members to give their profiles a refresh, or for new members like me to get their bearings. Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this.

As a new NetGalley reviewer this tool kit was so helpful! I appreciated the graphic design simplicity and the tips on posting a review helped me feel confident with my first feedback submission! I think anyone new or looking for a refresh could benefit from this toolkit. The most helpful sections for me where the book review format ideas and hashtag tips.

Very helpful guide to anyone looking to up their game when it comes to their use of NetGalley and promotion of books across the social media network.

From the most basic of advice on how to create your NetGalley profile, through to tips for sharing on social media, this toolkit provides a handy bunch of resources and guidelines to make the most of your reviewing journey.

As a former journalist and professional critic, I still found there were tricks and tips in here that I could use in my own blogging.

I was surprised at how helpful I found this guide. I don't know what I was expecting but it was of great help. I definitely need to reread it and take lots of notes. Truly recommend if you use Netgalley especially if you're just starting.
