Excellent resource for anyone who uses NetGalley. I appreciate having an updated resource to answer any questions I may have. Great for beginners and those who have been here for a long time.

Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley.

Even if you don’t review for NetGalley, there are some good hints on organizing and writing reviews that would work anywhere. The information is laid out in a simple, uncluttered fashion, often boxed for ease of focus, and is easy to read and understand. While there are still questions I’d like to see answered in a more extended fashion, it does answer many of the questions that seem to pop up repeatedly on related forums. Kudos to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for making the effort to make this available to reader/reviewers.

Great toolkit to introduce to new participants (and to remind long-time members) of the ins and outs of the site and how to craft critical reviews and such. The overall look of the toolkit is colorful and engaging, and is not too0 overwhelming, though it looks more like it's targeted to a younger audience (which is not a bad thing).

Thanks NetGalley Team for putting this Book Advocate Toolkit together! As someone who is still newer at using NetGalley, I thought the tips and tricks that were presented in the toolkit were helpful, including the details surrounding what elements should be put in your profile bio. Saving this toolkit to circle back to!

The Toolkit is just what I needed. I loved the examples given on how to write a review and posting suggestions. I even enjoyed the specifics when it comes to publishers’ approvals and instructions. It is very easy to get busy and read through emails too quickly so I will have to make it a point to take my time to read approvals received by publishers. For new members I highly recommend reading the toolkit because it’s packed with information that will be useful when writing book reviews.

A fun and vibrant guide! I guess it did highlight a few pointers that I look forward to employing as I go. The colourful notes here and there didn't distract from the information being passed along. It was designed well too.

Excellent introduction to NetGalley and a must read for all reviewers. Not only do you get a tour of the site and functionality, you can link out to other great articles and resources that help you with everything from reviewer's block to DNFing to reader guilt. There were also great tips to update your bio to help you hone in on what publishers are looking for in a reviewer.
