This was a very helpful digital toolkit for getting started with NetGalley! Tips about navigating the website, what publishers are looking for, filling out your profile, and writing reviews. I'm glad that NetGalley has this resource for reviewers to use.

This looks great! I am already a user of NetGalley for a couple of years but I'm sure I can learn something from all the information in this document!

How great it is to be able to get tips directly here on NetGalley instead of searching everywhere or combing through FAQs! The information is succinct, to the point, and full of great tips. It's a bonus that you can try reviewing a book by giving feedback to the toolkit.

This was a surprisingly helpful guide to NetGalley. A little more in depth than the kind of click-through tutorial you might find on a typical digital platform, but not so dense that it wasn't worth the effort of a read-through. Very useful for fine tuning my user profile, in particular.

The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is a concise and practical resource for anyone looking to enhance their book reviewing skills and connect more effectively with publishers. I appreciated the clear, actionable tips on how to articulate your interests to publishers. The section on writing effective reviews is equally valuable, offering guidance on crafting feedback that is both constructive and engaging. I am looking forward to the extended edition, which promises to include a social media toolkit.

Overall, I recommend this guide to new book reviewers who are serious about providing useful feedback to publishers and authors via NetGalley.

Really helpful for folks starting out on Netgalley, and was a good primer on how to upkeep the profile and reviews.

A very helpful, step-by-step guide on how to leave a review of a book/audiobook. This toolkit could also benefit students that have to write reviews.

I absolutely adore everything We Are Bookish creates! The resources for readers are truly invaluable. I had previously gone through the Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet and really enjoyed that and this was no different. First, I love the overall design of this toolkit. It is cute, engaging, and overall pleasing to the eye! Sometimes when I go through courses where they are almost too simple, I quickly get bored! I can appreciate the fact every page is different. It kept me engaged and made me excited to keep going through it! Also, the fact we get 31 pages of good and helpful content is amazing! NetGalley can be kind of intimidating at first but this really helps explain every single thing a new reader/user of NetGalley, or even an experienced reader/user, can find helpful! I have had followers of mine reach out for tips on NetGalley before. From now on, I will 100% be recommending this! I am excited to take an even closer look at each page and hopefully learn a few new things to implement in my own strategy here!

Thank you so much, NetGalley and We Are Bookish! :)

Helpful review of how to use Netgalley. Most of it I did not find useful but I did especially like the tip to set a reminder to update my profile every couple of months. Newbies will find this toolkit particularly helpful and filled with useful tidbits. I wish I had had this when I first started using Netgalley!

As always very informative, I love the graphics. I am constantly impressed by netgalley and their helpfulness when it comes to information on how to better my presence on their website.

Thank you for the great tips, they really helped me write my first review. I wasn't sure how I would write a review for an audiobook, but after reading this I knew what I needed to focus on whilst listening to my first audiobook from NetGalley. I look forward to reading and listening to many more of the books!

THANK YOU FOR THIS GUIDE!
First I read it through on my computer screen but then I printed it out as there are so many good tips that it is easier to use as a printed copy! Done some changes straight away! But Planning to take page by page and go through the all points and make massive changes to my profile :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

As a new NetGalley reviewer, I am really happy this resource exists! The organization of the infographic-style book was clear and eye-catching. This was east to follow and clarified a large part of the NetGalley process. I would recommend for any NetGalley newbie.
