Super helpful, glad I downloaded it and had a flip through. I don’t think it’s fair it has an influence on the feedback ratio though (which is why I’m leaving this)

After being curious about this handbook for a while, I can say with certainty that the ten minutes it took to read it were well spent. This is worth checking out for anyone new to book reviewing or NetGalley, but it's also helpful if you want to improve the quality of your reviews or profiles. For a short book, it packs a big informational punch. My favorite aspect was the user friendly the layout. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to brush up on the finer points of reviewing.

Thank You to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC

This is a wonderful idea for both newbies and seasoned professionals. Sometimes seeing a new way to execute an old idea can stimulate a writer, and help them to create their review. I love We Are Bookish and appreciate all the hard work they do to help us all.

The revised NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is the perfect guide to help a new NetGalley member get started. It has all the information needed to help a member set up their profile, navigate the site and write reviews. Even if you have been using the NetGalley review site for a while, it is so packed with information, that it is bound to have at least a few tips that you have overlooked.

I have been reviewing for NetGalley for a couple of months now. When I started, I was initially very confused and had a lot of trial and error moments when attempting to learn the process/interface of requesting, downloading, reading, and reviewing books prior to archive date. I was overly eager and went on a request spree and am now attempting to catch up to improve my feedback score. I really wish I would have known this toolkit book existed and read it sooner! It is so simple and easy to read with good examples and additional links provided for more guidance. I feel like I understand NetGalley so much better now and feel more motivated to continue . I would definitely recommend reading through this if you’re considering getting involved in NetGalley reviewing as well! Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the free copy of this guide. All opinions are my own.

The Book Advocate Toolkit is a wonderful resource for new NetGalley users. It clearly lays out the process of creating a profile, and requesting and reviewing ARCs. The book also explains the metrics that are used to assess performance on the site and gives tips for increasing the likelihood of receiving future ARCs. I particularly appreciated the review formatting and style tips, which I've incorporated into my own practice. I am sure that The Book Advocate Toolkit will remain a helpful guide for best practices as I build my presence on NetGalley. Thank you for sharing this resource!
