This is one of the best tools out there! This toolkit is incredibly helpful, fun and informative on how to get plugged into the NetGalley community. I've been here for a bit but have been trying to learn from others over the last year. Since I am not a full-time reviewer, this has given me so much insight into how I can improve my visibility in the bookish community, how to find my voice and best ways to present interviews. I look forward to implementing some of these tools and ideas in the coming months.

I wish I would’ve had this when I started using Netgalley! It gave a lot of great tips, especially the part about resisting the urge to request a bunch of books. I also really enjoyed the tips and examples on writing a book review and for your profile bio.

Very useful tool even for seasoned reviewers. I appreciate the detail given to what to do in DNF situations.

This is a wonderful starter’s guide to NetGalley. As a new reviewer, hoping to start my book influencer journey, I felt a little lost when I signed up. However, this guide gave me tips on how to write a bio to attract authors and publishers, as well as tips for writing reviews for books read and DNF.

I've been a member of NetGalley since 2012. Back then, as an idealistic graduate student, I was excited to fill my brand new Nook with books and add the ones I loved to my library. However, due to my Nook's incompatibility and my demanding academic schedule, my account remained unused. It was only after completing my studies and switching to a Kindle that I could finally read the books I had requested. During this period, I was unaware of how to effectively use NetGalley, but this toolkit helped me grasp everything from member guidelines and profile tips to the meaning of a pencil icon next to a review. I would advise all members to download and read this guide, regardless of how long they have been a member.

NetGalley is a bit of a elusive beast to a lot of people - myself included. I often found myself scouring the internet for answers on how to make my reviews and bio better. Little did I know this existed the whole time!

This guide is comprehensive and incredibly useful, and I’m excited to put the tips in the guide to use in the future.

It’s clear that NetGalley appreciates the passion readers have for books, and I would recommend this to anyone looking to up their review game.

This Book Advocate.Toolkit is filled with useful information about making the most of NetGalley. Advice within is beneficial to both veteran and new users. I found the profile tips list helpful in refreshing my information to what publishers most need. Others may find the DNF flowchart especially helpful as well.
Thanks NetGalley for putting this Toolkit out there!

After reading NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit, I made some changes to my profile dashbaord to better reflect my personality. I finally understand what the publishers are looking for when they allow us readers access to advanced copies. Recommended to anyone who wants to continue improving being a stronger book advocate and a better reviewer in general.

I really liked this updated version of the book advocate toolkit and believe it will be very helpful to anyone starting out on NetGalley.

Appreciated the tips and tricks, as well as reminders on how best to use NetGalley. I didn't anticipate this being something I'd need to review, but here we are. Always down to learn and appreciate figuring out how to be a better advocate for books I love and enjoy.
