This booklet is going to be incredibly helpful as I begin my NetGalley experience. I have already referred back to it a number of times and I imagine I will continue to do so. It’s super handy to have saved for when I need a reminder of something.

Thankyou to We Are Bookish for providing this resource.

This toolkit was a lifesaver for me when beginning my journey with Net Galley. I am excited to use this guide to assist me through my reviews of ARCs in the future!

I look forward to working with many publishers by providing positive and constructive feedback. Most importantly, I am excited to discover new favourite authors!

What a great breakdown of everything you need to know about NetGalley! I loved the information on optimizing your profile and what publishers are looking for in a reviewer. Really great simple graphics that help the info feel concise and easy to follow. I wish I had read this from Day 1 of joining NetGalley!

The Book Advocate Toolkit is a resource I did not realize I needed until I started reading it. Whether you are brand new to NetGalley or already a seasoned reviewer, this guide offers clear, practical, and encouraging advice for making the most out of your membership.

The layout is easy to follow, and the toolkit covers everything from setting up your profile in a professional way, to understanding feedback ratios, to writing thoughtful reviews even when you do not finish a book. I especially appreciated the sections on review writing tips and the Social Media Handbook, which make the process feel approachable and customizable to your own voice. The inclusion of examples, checklists, and linked resources makes this feel comprehensive without ever being overwhelming
.

What stood out most to me was how much emphasis is placed on honesty and individuality. The toolkit does not push you toward a single right way to review; instead, it highlights the importance of finding your voice and sharing it with authenticity. The advice on balancing professionalism with personality is especially useful for reviewers trying to build credibility with publishers while staying true to their own style.

Overall, this guide is a must read for anyone who wants to strengthen their presence on NetGalley. It is approachable, thorough, and full of actionable tips. I will definitely be referring back to it as I continue building my book advocate journey.

This Toolkit is an incredibly helpful guide to using NetGalley and understanding how to write a better profile bio and reviews. The information is clearly laid out and easy to follow. Highly recommend to anyone just starting out on NetGalley!

A perfectly adequate guide to using NetGalley. I'm not a big user of the service, so I did learn some things, but I guess I found the interface already easy enough to use and most of the information in this guide was self-evident to me.

I did appreciate the information in Requesting Books which explained who approves requests, the section on the basics of a good review, and the page on what to do if you don't finish a book (this links out to a website with more information).

Also, the cover and graphics are quite nice.

The book was provided to me free by NetGalley (as it should, seeing as it's a "how to" for their service). All opinions are my own.

I struggle to format reviews, but this gave a very helpful guide! There were a few other things I had learnt despite having used Netgalley for over a year now. Very helpful.

Ebenso wie das andere Toolkit ist das ein guter Einstieg in die Welt von NetGalley.
Das hier sollte fast Pflichtlektüre für jeden Benutzer sein.
Auch hier wäre eine Deutscheversion super.

This is a clear and well-organized guide for using NetGalley. It’s packed with useful tips on improving your profile and navigating the platform efficiently. A must-read for anyone looking to get the most out of their NetGalley experience!

A complete and well-designed book to help provide valuable feedback and be a successful reviewer! Having more that one example review to see different yet equally effective sty les would be beneficial.

At heard, the NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is a self-help book for people new to the Net Galley platform, which would include me. It is a short and colorful book with several URLs on various aspects of the platform and the process. Since I am a 58 year old person with a PhD, I did not find the how to write a good review section of much use.

The book is in pdf format which makes it easier for the publisher to include URLs that are easily accesible to people reading on a tablet. Personally I prefer formats like epub which take up much less space. If you have plenty of space on your device, then this will not be an issue for you.

Overall, the book is a useful starting place for newcomers to Net Galley. At least in my opinion.

This a user friendly guide. I found it helpful for writing future reviews and I will be keeping notes. Thank you NetGalley for providing a clean and helpful guide for all reviewers.

Great toolkit, 10/10 easy to follow everything. In case of any problems, one can open the Toolkit and most likely find a solution without problem. Very happy to have been provided with this.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is such a valuable resource for both new and seasoned reviewers. As someone who loves sharing my thoughts on books, I really appreciated how clear, practical, and encouraging this guide is. It breaks down everything from writing reviews that resonate with both publishers and readers to building your presence across platforms like Goodreads, NetGalley, and beyond. What stood out most to me is how approachable the advice feels—it never comes across as overwhelming or overly technical. Instead, it provides straightforward steps and tips that you can immediately put into practice, whether it’s refining your review style, understanding what publishers look for, or learning how to engage more with the bookish community. I think this toolkit works as both a refresher for experienced reviewers and a confidence boost for those just getting started. It’s a quick read but packed with insights that will make any reviewer feel more prepared and connected. A must-read for anyone looking to grow as a book advocate!

Thank you NetGalley for the book. All thoughts are my own.

An excellent guide. A quick and easy tool kit. Thank you NetGalley. I wish I had found this sooner!

This is a great tool to have in your toolbox especially if you are new to netgalley or other ARCs! Lots of great tips and way to help you make the most of your time.

I loved this! I wish I had found it sooner!

This was very informative on all things NetGalley. I sometimes worry my reviews aren’t as descriptive without spoilers, but this has helped me convey what I want to say without ruining it for others.

I found the book very helpful regarding writing my book reviews.

I was initially apprehensive about writing my review's. I was worried about how to relay the information in a concise and constructive way.

The book provided me invaluable information to craft my review's. The toolset aided me with a step by step formula to construct review's that both reflected my thoughts and provided constructive feedback.

I would througly recommend that Net Gallery reviewer's read this book before composing their reviews.

I thought this was a quick,easy to follow, manual with the intent for success! Very readable and eminenty usable!

This was an extremely helpful and comprehensive guide for anyone trying to find their feet on NetGalley. I will continue to use and recommend this resource going forward.
