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.

As someone who is just starting out on NetGalley, this guide gave me a lot of useful information to help me succeed on this platform. This guide is aesthetically pleasing which held my attention, and the information was presented in an accessible way, for someone who is unfamiliar with the website's layout.

This advocate toolkit is helpful. I wish I would have known about all this sooner. Definetly my fault for not reading this. I wish I would have started with this before clicking on a bunch of titles, because now my percentage score is all messed up! There needs to be a warning for new sign ups about this nugget of information!

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a helpful tool, which I wish I had access to when I first joined NetGalley. The PDF provided me with strategies for improving my feedback ratio, biography, written reviews, etc. Thanks to suggested strategies in the PDF, I developed a plan for whittling down the number of remaining books that I have to provide feedback in order to meet NetGalley’s recommended Feedback Ratio of 80% .

This is such a concise and informative book! If you are just starting as a NetGalley member, this is the best book for you to understand how NetGalley works. What I really like about this are the tips on how to make a good book review. I like how easy it is to follow. I also like the topic about requesting books. I always have a question as to why some of the books I request are denied and I finally have the answer. Overall, I highly recommend this to all members of NetGalley! Thanks to NetGalley for the reading copy.

This was such a helpful guide! Other than the fact that this guide covered helpful tips navigating and starting a NetGalley account, this guide took it to the next level by adding tips and tricks that NetGalley provides. I didn't know about the weekly checklist email that I didn't know about before. The book review tips organized in do and don't format provided a quick overview on everything one might need to get started. I never thought about naming a book's audience before so I will be doing that going forward! Big kudos to We Are Bookish for compiling this guide to NetGalley!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a concise and colorful guide to all users of NetGalley; new or old. It includes everything you need to know on using NetGalley, from the site's interface to tips on writing better reviews and getting more approvals. The colorful toolkit with cute doodles and pastel colors made the reading experience so much more fun; rather than having to scroll down pages of boring text with a white background. I thought I was just going to skim through this but I actually read through and learned new things! Highly recommend to NetGalley users.
