Good and basic intro for newbies in NetGalley. A very important guide for the beginners in NetGalley universe. This though should not be asked for review.

This is a great tool for those who are new to netgalley or an even just unsure of exactly how to use some areas of and around Netgalley. I have been on here for around one year and there are still things I don’t know, so this book was incredibly helpful. :)

Thank you for creating the Toolkit! I think the toolkit is simple and easy to ready and following along. I also really like all the snapshot that were added for a visual. I am a visual person with reading so this helped my brain process the content better. :)

I found this guide to be very helpful. I am always looking for ways to improve my reviews, especially for audiobooks; so I especially appreciated the pointers for reviews, The examples provided were clear. The entire guide provided for a quick read and it was packed full of helpful information. Thank you @netgalley for providing this.

This is a much more thorough updated and revised version of the Book Advocate Toolkit. I appreciate that there are links to request tips, information about using the NetGalley Shelf App, and links to resources. They also explain the feature known as "the orange pencil", and what to do if you DNF a book. I also see that there is a Social Media Toolkit coming soon, and I am really looking forward to that!

Thanks NetGalley/We Are Bookish!

Not sure how to use NetGalley? Fear not. The book advocate toolkit is here!

I love NetGalley but have made many newbie mistakes upon requesting and reviewing ARCs from some of my favorite publishers. I like the layout of the newly revised guide making it easy to navigate topics of relevance. I found the embedded YouTube and NetGalley links providing additional in-depth help and content to be extremely useful. My favorites are the review tips, FAQs, and Do’s & Don’ts. The table of contents will direct you to a section of interest or it can read straight through it in less than 1 day if not 1 hour.

This is an excellent toolkit. With only 31 pages, it’s short and concise with helpful visuals on every page. I would highly recommend this to new users on NetGalley. Wish I had downloaded and read it sooner!

Love this guide! I’m new to reviewing and this was exactly what I needed to help with my bio and reviews. I will be using all the wonderful information to redo my bio to be more specific and offer the information publishers are looking for.

This was a nicely organized toolkit with actionable tips! I appreciated the links to longer articles to learn more about each recommendation. I especially appreciated the tips on how to write a critical review. Looking forward to the social media toolkit!

This article really helped me to get a better understanding of how NetGalley works which was very helpful since I was in hard time trying publishers to approve my book requests, now I feel more confident to ask for request knowing the multiple tips and tricks this article provides.

The newly updated and revised NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit resulted in a thoughtful and very user-friendly update to this essential beginner's guide for new reviewers. I found a few items that were either new to this version, or improved upon from the previous version I read. I love how clear this toolkit is and all the really helpful links to further resources, blog posts, and the knowledge base. All the links I tried worked perfectly for me. This is an absolute must-read for anyone new to book reviewing and/or new to NetGalley.
