Thank you for creating this document! A quick read for beginners. It’s a helpful guide in navigating the site, requesting, and reviewing. There’s some features and icons I didn’t know about. The publisher approval preferences section was great to learn about to help create a profile.

This is basic information. It could be helpful information if someone is brand new to how to get the word out and what to do on and with netgalley.

The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is essential reading for new users. This document has easy-to-read tips and tricks that helped me set up my NetGalley profile and find my first book to review.

I love how the toolkit explains concepts, such as the types of book access, the feedback ratio, and how to write good book reviews. I appreciate how the creative use of images, infographics, and text formatting helps me digest key information better. Two of my favorite pieces of advice from the toolkit: avoiding the temptation to go on a request spree and remembering to visit the publisher's page and review their Approval Preferences.

This toolkit is essential reading for anyone who wants to master the basics of using NetGalley. Reviewing the toolkit is a good way to practice writing a book review. Now I'm looking forward to reading and reviewing my first NetGalley ARC.

A useful guide to get started with book reviews! I’ve recently joined NetGalley and, although I’ve been writing book reviews on retailer platforms for some time, it was useful to gain more insights about what publishers would like to see in our reviews.

A very helpful booklet for book advocates accross many different platforms, it's something that proves a useful tool whether you're just starting out in the bookish sphere or if you've been around for a while and want to know how you can further improve your accounts.

I really like the fact that each section is short and straight to the point so I can easily come back to it whenever I need a refresher on reviewing tips or post designing.

I highly recommend this book to all book advocates!

Very informative on how to use NetGalley, thank you for making this toolkit! It taught me things that I would not have thought of. I also actually changed my entire NetGalley profile around because of this. I also made more social media pages for book related things and reviews!
