This toolkit was a joy to read! Very easy to navigate and so helpful. I've made a few tweaks to my profile and settings as a result.
Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley.
Very helpful for NetGalley users, adequately explains the different functions and expectations within the NetGalley website and app.
Being on NetGalley can be confusing and somewhat intimidating, and I wish I had this when I first started. But, I have it now, and it's definitely helped me re-evaluate how I participate on NetGalley as a reader/reviewer and general lover of books.
It really does simplify the process of introducing yourself to publishers and making a compelling argument as to why you should be chosen to review their releases.
A must-read for everyone who joins NetGalley!
This is a great book to help reviewers get started on NetGalley, quick and easy to read. A must read for all new and existing reviewers. Highly recommend. Thanks to We Are Bookish for providing the title to read and review.
Very helpful guide that gives a thorough breakdown of being a book reviewer on Netgalley. The Advocate toolkit tells you how books are accepted, ways to spruce up your profile and ways to spruce up your reviews to help more attract more readers and assist the publisher in making improvements (if needed) with the authors book prior to the release date.
Downloaded for review tips and profile tips. Seems useful so far and will be implementing some of the tips as soon as possible
This is a nice toolkit for anyone who interacts with NetGalley and/or the NetGalley bookshelf app to request, read, and review books. It offers plenty of tips on how to use the tools, how to write reviews that will be noticed, how to write critical reviews or handle the dreaded DNF (Did Not Finish) situation.
Thanks for putting this together! This updated version is not available on Goodreads so I cannot review it there. Since this is a user toolkit specific to NetGalley, that makes sense.
This was super helpful to know what is expected on netgalley and included great tips!
I will definitely be providing clearer feedback more in line with recommendations from this guide.
This was a helpful and concise guide to help me start my journey of reviewing and recommending books. I was unaware of this toolkit when I was first introduced to the NetGalley system via an author I supported in an advance book release campaign. I made a lot of rookie mistakes that could have been avoided. Therefore, I recommend that this be provided to all new users of NetGalley upon their first login. There seem to be a few links that are no longer working right now, but it looks like there may be some subsequent releases with additional content specific to social media. Overall, this is a must-read for anyone on the NetGalley platform. The less-than-perfect rating is due to not being targeted to platform users as effectively as iI think it could have been.
Loved the updated guide and already looking forward to the new one on Social Media! Thank you for putting this guide together!
A really excellent update to the toolkit - some fab information here on how to make your profile the best it can be.
I had to update my profile after changing the profile type and this was auper helpful, thank you so much!!!
Great resource offered through Net Galley to help navigate through Net Galley. Giving pointers and examples of the best way to review in order to utilize the features on Net Galley.
I found this book advocate toolkit so much more helpful than the last The previous edition was a bit clinical, while this one is put together like a scrap book and actually pretty fun to look at and read through, which I think will make new NetGalley members even more excited to get started. I especially appreciated the tips on how to keep your profile simple while still including all the important information publishers look for, what to do when you have reviewer’s block, and the features available in the NetGalley Shelf App. I’m looking forward to applying the things I’ve learned to my reviews and NetGalley experience.
As a NetGalley reviewer, this toolkit is perfect for helping me keep everything up-to-date and together.
Especially when my books are due to be reviewed.
Incredibly informative and helpful, especially for those who are new to book writing book reviews. The tips for writing audiobook reviews was particularly appreciated as that is primarily how I enjoy books.
This was very helpful! Thank you so much for creating this, it really benefits new users as well as those who just need a guide to follow along with. I will be using this often as a reminder.
This toolkit goes over all the features and functionality of the website as well as provides tips on how to get approved and how to leave good reviews. The graphics and design made it easy and quick to go through the booklet. I appreciated all the helpful information. This will also make a useful reference even for experienced users.
NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is an incredibly useful resource for anyone looking to enhance their NetGalley experience!! There is so much to love about this toolkit! It provides detailed guidelines on how to write compelling book reviews and engage more effectively with the book community. The template is very user-friendly and visually appealing, while the information itself is well-organized, making it easy to navigate and apply.
The toolkit offers practical, actionable advice that can be immediately implemented. It’s perfect for those new to NetGalley as well as for long-time members. As someone who has enjoyed NetGalley for a few years, I found it to be an invaluable refresher and a source of inspiration.
