I enjoyed reading this revised Book Advocate Toolkit. It has invaluable information for both new and experienced NetGalley users. The material is presented in an easy-to-read format with appealing graphics. I like that you can click on links within the toolkit to access related articles that go into more depth on a specific topic.
One of the best tips for me was reading about the "sandwich method" hints on writing a review. New hints and a refresher are always helpful no matter how long you've been reviewing!
As a new NetGalley user, I’m so pleased that I stumbled across this guide.
I’d been previously finding my way, more due to luck and intuition than best practice . Within minutes of reading the guide I already feel better prepared and equipped to navigate the site and embark on my NetGalley journey.
Full to the brim with really helpful tips, from basics such as checking and adding the correct device settings, to how to write a good review and what to do if you ever DNF a book.
I would recommend this to any new NetGalley user and would imagine even seasoned users might learn a trick or two!
Thank you NetGalley!
NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a fantastic introduction or refresher for all members of NetGalley. It discusses basic tips, in depth how-to's and full of lots of tricks to get the most out of NetGalley. It's easy to read for anyone!
I've been a member off and on for years and I liked refreshing my knowledge of NetGalley.
Thank you NetGalley for this and for a fun time at camp!
Great book advocate toolkit with excellent tips and tricks to bolster a Netgalley profile. I can't wait for the social media page toolkit to release.
Always good to brush up on how things work! I’ve been a user for about a year now and I still appreciate reminding myself of the tips and tricks provided to make the most of the site. There are some features such as making lists that I often forget to utilize and I appreciate the reminder that there’s still more I can get out of my Netgalley experience.
This is the toolkit I wish I had when I first joined NetGalley. I wasn’t quite sure how it worked besides wishing for ARCs and being jealous of those who got them and wanted to enjoy them before anyone else because DUH. I didn’t realize the number game and member ratio stuff until I browsed for hours and requested about 20 books. BIG WHOOPS. I finally got my ratio up after months of reading through dozens of books but man this would’ve saved me so much anxiety so if you’re a newbie grab this immediately!!!
no tips needed since this is a download from netgalley, I do appreciate the team taking time to put this together and look forward to even more reviewing this year!
Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the DRC! This toolkit is an excellent guide to all things NetGalley - how to navigate the site, creating and keeping your profile up-to-date, requesting books, writing reviews, and much more. I have been a member for several years and I really appreciated the refresher and tips and tricks.
Very interesting and useful this update! Many tips to improve our profile and reviews. Very well done!
This toolkit is an invaluable guide for new users to Goodreads. The We Are Bookish team has created this clear, easy-to-follow booklet to assist new users in getting acclimated to the website and process. Veteran users will also find helpful tips on writing reviews, including a decision tree on when to use the "I will not be giving feedback" option.
A great guide that all NetGalley users can benefit from reading and rereading!
Thank you Netgalley for updating your toolkit. Something I enjoyed and appreciated was the update dnf tree (that's so important for users to decide whether they will give feedback or not). I am also very excited to see the upcoming social media took kit.
Thank you for sharing this toolkit! I liked how the information contained within was displayed and I think the graphics and presentation made information that could feel somewhat repetitive, obvious, or otherwise uninteresting (but important) material easily digestible. I also jotted down a few good tips that I hadn't considered after reading through the guide.
So you think you know how to be successful in Netfalley?
A great refresher even for veteran members like myself
I especially like the tips and hints
Thank you for the update. Even for us veteran NetGalley users a refresher is always helpful. The tools provided will help a lot.
There is always room for improvement in my craft of writing reviews and NetGalley offers the reader the best advice for creating spot on reviews and promoting books and authors.
This was a really good beginner's guide to using NetGalley but also completely appropriate as a refresher for longtime reviewers. It covers all aspects of using NetGalley, with informative graphics and really clear instructions to get the most out of your reviews and NetGalley profile.
Thanks for this updated version of the toolkit. I've been a NetGalley member for many years, but I thought it would be good to brush up on current policies and procedures. This was very helpful!
This was such a helpful toolkit that everyone in NetGalley can use. I discovered some tips that I never knew about but will be using them from now on.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this resourceful toolkit.
This is really useful and informative. Nicely presented, too. I shall enjoy perusing it from time to time as a refresher. Thank very much for this.
This was such a helpful toolkit with a lot of tips and clear advice / explanations on how to use it! Thank you so much!
