This was a helpful and concise guide to help me start my journey of reviewing and recommending books. I was unaware of this toolkit when I was first introduced to the NetGalley system via an author I supported in an advance book release campaign. I made a lot of rookie mistakes that could have been avoided. Therefore, I recommend that this be provided to all new users of NetGalley upon their first login. There seem to be a few links that are no longer working right now, but it looks like there may be some subsequent releases with additional content specific to social media. Overall, this is a must-read for anyone on the NetGalley platform. The less-than-perfect rating is due to not being targeted to platform users as effectively as iI think it could have been.
Loved the updated guide and already looking forward to the new one on Social Media! Thank you for putting this guide together!
A really excellent update to the toolkit - some fab information here on how to make your profile the best it can be.
I had to update my profile after changing the profile type and this was auper helpful, thank you so much!!!
Great resource offered through Net Galley to help navigate through Net Galley. Giving pointers and examples of the best way to review in order to utilize the features on Net Galley.
I found this book advocate toolkit so much more helpful than the last The previous edition was a bit clinical, while this one is put together like a scrap book and actually pretty fun to look at and read through, which I think will make new NetGalley members even more excited to get started. I especially appreciated the tips on how to keep your profile simple while still including all the important information publishers look for, what to do when you have reviewer’s block, and the features available in the NetGalley Shelf App. I’m looking forward to applying the things I’ve learned to my reviews and NetGalley experience.
As a NetGalley reviewer, this toolkit is perfect for helping me keep everything up-to-date and together.
Especially when my books are due to be reviewed.
Incredibly informative and helpful, especially for those who are new to book writing book reviews. The tips for writing audiobook reviews was particularly appreciated as that is primarily how I enjoy books.
This was very helpful! Thank you so much for creating this, it really benefits new users as well as those who just need a guide to follow along with. I will be using this often as a reminder.
This toolkit goes over all the features and functionality of the website as well as provides tips on how to get approved and how to leave good reviews. The graphics and design made it easy and quick to go through the booklet. I appreciated all the helpful information. This will also make a useful reference even for experienced users.
NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is an incredibly useful resource for anyone looking to enhance their NetGalley experience!! There is so much to love about this toolkit! It provides detailed guidelines on how to write compelling book reviews and engage more effectively with the book community. The template is very user-friendly and visually appealing, while the information itself is well-organized, making it easy to navigate and apply.

This was a helpful guide and gave me more information. I feel like I now know a lot more about NetGalley that I didn’t know before.
As someone who is just starting out on NetGalley, this guide gave me a lot of useful information to help me succeed on this platform. This guide is aesthetically pleasing which held my attention, and the information was presented in an accessible way, for someone who is unfamiliar with the website's layout.
This advocate toolkit is helpful. I wish I would have known about all this sooner. Definetly my fault for not reading this. I wish I would have started with this before clicking on a bunch of titles, because now my percentage score is all messed up! There needs to be a warning for new sign ups about this nugget of information!
Super helpful info that I will definitely be referring back to in order to improve my Bookstagram and my reviews! Thank you NetGalley!!
Lots of great tips for anyone new to NetGalley and helpful info for those of us who have been here for awhile.
This latest edition of Netgalley's Book Advocate Toolkit it is packed full of needed information in clear concise instructions. The composition of the content is pleasing to look at and very relevant for reviewers.
The part regarding Book Reviews is extremely helpful for new and veteran reviewers. Some of information in this area helped me write some current book reviews with more finesse.
It's always great to have such an incredible help in this community! The amount of details is amazing and the pastel color helps a lot the eyes
NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a helpful tool, which I wish I had access to when I first joined NetGalley. The PDF provided me with strategies for improving my feedback ratio, biography, written reviews, etc. Thanks to suggested strategies in the PDF, I developed a plan for whittling down the number of remaining books that I have to provide feedback in order to meet NetGalley’s recommended Feedback Ratio of 80% .
