A good overview of NetGalley, how to use its services, and best practices as a reviewer! It's definitely handy to have all this information in one place.
Just what I needed to get started! This brief but very educational toolkit was very helpful and just what I needed to get started on my netgallery path. If you are looking for just the right tool to use, this is it! I am so excited to get started reviewing books but didn't want to read a 400 page guide to do this. I appreciated the short but concise pages with info on how to how to request books, how to write my bio, how to write a book review and examples.
NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a concise and useful guide on how to effectively use NetGalley and provide impactful reviews for books. It also covers how to manage situations where you do not finish a book because it didn't resonate with you. I found the images in the guide further helped organize the sequence of events visually and makes the steps easier to remember. A must read for Netgalley members. I'm looking forward to the Social Media Toolkit; thank you We Are Bookish for the advance copy read. #Netgalley #Wearebookish
This update was definitely needed and it definitely helped! I was unsure what to do if i was to dnf a book and this helped so much.
This is a great guide on how to read & review books on NetGalley. I’m still new to the world of reviews and mostly get read or listen now books.
Make sure to keep profile up to date and check to make sure you don’t keep books too long on your shelf. I will start reading my “read now” very soon
i lvoe this tool kit so much! the best tips tips to keep your profile at the best possible way!!!
love it!
Thank you for this update! For a guide it was succinct and thorough. I appreciated the examples as well as clarification on what to do if a reader does not finish a book.
This was a thorough guide that was much needed. This benefits not only newbies but also members who have been using Netgalley for a while. Looking forward for more such toolkits.
very useful guide, have used this to improve my feedback ratio - improved my bio and got better organized at keeping my profile updated
I found the information provided in this small reader very helpful and clearly presented. I am sure that I will return to it for future instruction and refreshers on the ins and outs of the NetGalley system,
From how to write different types of reviews, to how to DNF books, "NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit" is an absolute life saver!
Will definitely be referring back to this book again & again!
This Toolkit contains everything a NetGalley user could hope for – and if it's not on the page, there is a link to it with a note where to find more information! I appreciated the clear and concise language and guides on topics that can feel difficult to figure out by oneself as a reviewer, such as how to deal with the unfortunate DNF situations that happen every once in a while. This is a great download for anyone using NetGalley, but especially those just starting out on the platform.
This is a great, informative and updated detailed toolkit on how to use Netgalley. I really liked the "how to DNF" page as that seems to be an issue that new users have trouble with. Thanks Netgalley!
Thank you! This "Toolkit" is a great resource for working with NetGalley. I have been using NetGalley to review books for less than a year. I am learning as I go. Just in my first read of this document, I have picked up several pointers. I took notes, and will keep this document handy. Very helpful!
This is such a great guide and I really appreciate that NetGalley is making the effort to make everything more transparent and accessible. I wish there had been something like this when I started with NetGalley nearly 15 years ago! Even as a veteran reviewer there were lots of things I found really helpful though, as well as answers to some questions I've been wondering about for a while. Thank you for putting this together!
A quick trot through reviewing books. Quite a nifty little starter read for Netgalley newbies and old hands alike. Always good to have a refresher. And it doesn't take too long to read. More updates to come by the looks of things too.
A great resource, and a worthwhile update to the Book Advocate Toolkit. The information within is comprehensive but easily digestible (thanks in part to the graphic design). I'd love to see these toolkits featured in a more prominent way on the NetGalley website, so that they might be more easily accessible to the users who stand to benefit the most from these resources!
I love this guide! Super helpful tips for someone like me, who is still learning how to navigate NetGalley. I especially like the ratios 101 information.
As always, super helpful and user-friendly information! Thanks to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit!
A fantastic resource! Thank you so much NetGalley. I've read through this toolkit a number of times now and have a lot of information that will make my journey with this platform a lot smoother. The tips on profile writing are fantastic as this was an area that I was stuck on.
Highly recommend all members take the time to read this!
