This was a super helpful book for just starting out on net galley. I’m still new to the bookish content and review world and this was full of easy to digest information. Even skimming through you get all the information and helpful tips you need!

If you're starting NetGalley or want to use it better, this is a good guide, covering those aspects more important to focus on.

This book made me appreciative of the how this site operates. It told me to slow down and realize that site is a little different than what I'm used to. The break to slow me down was appreciated.
The book explains in engaging and eye catching detail how the site works and gives you tips on how to be successful. The instructions were so clear and laid out in a way that even if you just skimmed it, you got exactly what they said. Recommended read for anyone who wants to begin calmly, instead of overwhelmed and hiding in bed.

It informs you on the best strategies to be successful and not overwhelm yourself. It also gives tips on how to better promote yourself through your profile in order to help your approvals. Thank you NetGalley for this toolkit, I am looking forward to implementing these tips and tricks!

This is a really helpful collection of tips and tricks for people who just started with NetGalley. In addition to website function, there are useful links to more in-depth information. I found the part about the NetGalley App interesting, for example I didn' know that there is a text-to-speech option.

After reading NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit I made some changes to my profile in order to better reflect my personality. The PDF was helpful because I understand what the publishers are looking for when they allow us readers access to advanced copies (digital and audio). Recommend to anyone who wants to continue improving being a stronger book advocate.

I am new to NetGalley and the Book Advocate Toolkit has given me valuable insight and the tools needed to improve my profile, writing skills, and navigation of the website. At first, I was excited beginning my NetGalley journey but I felt totally overwhelmed and unsure of myself . This toolkit provided detailed, step by step instructions on how to write organized and concise book reviews. This manual has definitely cut down on the amount of time it takes to write and post my book reviews. NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit has been a great resource and I appreciate how it has enriched my bookish journey. Special thanks to NetGalley for providing a supportive, well designed and helpful guide!
