This was a really helpful read. As someone who has been using Netgalley for some years now, it gave me some helpful hints that enabled me to refresh my profile but also taught me that I can look at publishers approval requirements, something I wasn’t previously aware of.

thank you netgalley for this book advocate toolkit! it was very helpful and had some great points to help newbies (like me) with reviews!

I really like the NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit. I think this toolkit is great for people newer to NetGalley and also for those that have been using NetGalley for a long time. I really found the review section useful. I think the tips included in this toolkit are very helpful.

If you’re interested in getting ARCs (advanced reader copies) of books I highly recommend this book. To access this book you will need to create a NetGalley account (which you need to do anyways to get the ARCs) - setting up an account is easy to do, but this guide highlights the ways to get the most out of your account set up as well as other tips to get approvals from publishers.

After getting a rejection on an ARC I wanted to learn more about what I could do to increase my odds of approvals. I found a lot of helpful tips in this quick 31 page guide on how to get approvals but also how to get the most of out NetGalley in general.

Definitely check this book out if you’re interested in getting ARCs successfully!

I love NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit! I’ve had a NetGalley account for about a year now and have done my best to find the right information for my profile, figure out how to review properly, and navigate challenges with books. This new toolkit gives you a succinct guide to all things NetGalley! No more looking around or guessing - this tells you exactly what you need to know and tips for being the best book advocate you can be!

Thank you NetGalley for this helpful guide to navigating the site! I love the graphics and layout of this toolkit. I look forward to checking out the Social Media Toolkit that’s coming soon too!

THANK YOU Netgalley for this revised toolkit! I enjoy your service and am always thankful for your customer service!

This 31 page guide was incredibly helpful for a newbie getting into ARCs. Also, it's so pretty haha, it's not just white pages with black text, the visuals are easy on the eyes 😏
As advertised, I cannot recommend this enough for anyone new to NetGalley or those needing to improve their approval requessts.

I appreciate this well-written guide to Netgalley. It helped me improve my profile and gave me some extra tips to improve my reviews. As a new reviewer on Netgalley, I appreciated all the tips on having better chances of being approved and navigating the website.

This “Book Advocate Toolkit” is a great resource for new and old members alike! Whether it be to learn what NetGalley is all about, what the expectations are, or how to navigate the website, there is a lot of information that can teach or refresh you on the content. Personally, I appreciate that it gave me guidance on the best formatting of reviews and how to effectively establish a portfolio and portrays who you are as a reader and reviewer. This resource is worth at least checking out.

A NetGalley book toolkit to help you develop informative and outstanding reviews for book trade professionals, booksellers, educators and librarians.

The Book Advocate Toolkit is informative, easy to understand and read. It’s concise, to the point and laid out to increase your knowledge in writing a review the best that you can.

Extremely helpful toolkit, perfect for anyone just getting started on NetGalley or any older member looking for a refresher of various options. This is very cleverly designed, taking the book advocate through the various steps, from joining NetGalley to submitting reviews. I particularly appreciated the clarity on DNFing books and the use of the "will not give feedback option", which wasn't wholly clear to me.
Thank you NetGalley!

If you are a new, or seasoned, NetGalley reviewer this is an amazing guide to help you succeed on the platform!
I love these NetGalley guides and think that they are such a unique and helpful feature that We Are Bookish, NetGalley's own 'blog', come out with. I am intrigued to see that they will be expanded their guides with a new guide for social media and look forward for that to come out. I appreciate that there is also space for seasoned reviewers to get a few tips to help make their reviews more constructive. Having hyperlinks to other articals was an incredible way to still provide all of the information without taking up space on the document itself. This helped make it a quick guide that was easy to navigated.

Always recommend NetGalley guides!

This is probably the most helpful toolkit yet. I love all this info is in one pdf and presented in an easy to view way. This will really help me out with my reviews going forward

I absolutely loved this toolkit.
I’ve been a member of NetGalley for years and I have found with this to get some of the information I knew, and some just enhanced everything I thought I knew.
The book was easy to read, beautifully laid out and so helpful

This is a very clear & precise toolkit, I only started using NG in January so there was still a lot I didn’t know.
I think this is going to be a great refresher for members and I can’t wait for the social media toolkit!

Thanks for creating this guide! I appreciated graphics and that the file loaded quickly. A good variety of tips about how to write good reviews & increase chances of getting approved.

Having been on NetGalley for almost 10 years, I knew most of the information included in the guide. However, I did enjoy reading the approval and review sections. They were good reminders.

I already knew a lot of the information, but I especially liked the quick references for how to write good reviews.
I look forward to the social media section being added.

Thank you for this insightful handbook. It’s given food for thought on how to update my profile and how to rethink my approach to handling my reviewing process. I appreciate all of these nifty handbooks you make and they’re really helpful as a reviewer. It makes me want to do better at this and I started doing reviews simply as a way to fill in time I had on my hands. Being fair to the writers is important to me and being presentable is just as important. Thank you, again, for this.

What a great resource! This is always helpful to look at to help with approvals and writing reviews. I am looking forward to the social media toolkit!
