This is such a useful and beautifully formatted guide to NetGalley and advocating for books - with great book review tips and information about navigating NetGalley itself! We Are Bookish create wonderful resources and I’m very excited for the Social Media Guide which is apparently coming next :)

This is the perfect tool for a new reviewer such as myself, I worried it would be blocks of text but there was actually plenty of pictures and it was very colourful which made it feel less like a lesson.
This has given me many tips for reviews including some examples and has also given me ideas to make my profile look better.
Highly recommend and I think this should be something all new reviewers read.

This toolkit is helpful for newcomers to NetGalley, offering practical guidance on profile setup, platform navigation, enhancing approval odds, and writing constructive reviews for publishers and authors. When I first saw that it had 31 pages, I feared it would be filled with dense text. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find concise and visually appealing guidelines laid out neatly. I read it in five minutes. Thanks!

I found this very helpful for what to add to my profile to bette help my chances of being approved. It's also helpful for making sure I don't go on a spree of requesting books to keep my ratio high.

I really appreciate the updated version! After going through it, I'll make sure to provide even more helpful feedback.
I'm also considering requesting more audiobooks.

NetGalley just keeps improving. <3.

I truly didn't know much about NetGalley, even after I decided to join, but going over this book advocate toolkit really helped me, like IMMENSELY! Although it does stink whenever a publisher decides not to approve my request, reading why they may not approve it makes more sense. I also know that having a higher feedback ratio helps as well, which I know I can be better at myself. I love how I can read either on my phone or my ipad, depending on what device I feel like using that day. I love the tips, tricks and tools sheet as well!

Netgalley provides helpful tips to get started! I think it’s a great guide for those getting started with netgalley. I definitely didn’t realize that as soon as you get approved your ratio is affected.

This looks the same or possibly just edited of the last Book Advocate Toolkit I downloaded. I do love this being reposted for more readers to find! Attached here is my previous review as it still stands: Thank you We Are Bookish for sharing this toolkit! some very helpful tips I wish I learned earlier on such as to avoid spree requesting! the tips for starting Bookstagram and Booktoks were interesting and insightful and if I do go forward with making a bookstagram/booktok for myself I will take these tips into consideration! Going forward I till definitely be making spoiler free reading threads on twitter while reading these arcs! that is something I wasn't aware I was allowed to do (of course unless it's meantioned not to by the publishers!)

This is wonderful resource for anyone who wants to better understand the basics of NetGalley. It is definitely something I will keep handy when I get into a review slump or when I need to spruce up my profile. I am so grateful for the ability to share these reviews with friends, online through social media, and through review sties like Goodreads. Thank you NetGalley for providing this free resource for users to better understand your site and become the best advocates for upcoming books and budding authors!

This toolkit gives an overview of Netgalley and a ton of information on how to make the most of the experience. I particularly liked how it gave concrete examples of how to write your bio and reviews based on what type of you reader you are. Super helpful resource!

This is a very thorough, comprehensive, and user-friendly beginner's guide to all aspects of NetGalley, from website and app features to tips for increasing chances of getting approved. Veteran reviewers might not have much to take away from this, but this is super helpful to anyone just starting out on the website, and I'm glad this exists!

This resource was valuable! The guide is comprehensive and easy to read, with numerous recommendations. It is highly recommended for new users or long-time members who wish to take their book advocacy to the next level. Thank you to Netgalley for providing this material.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a thirty page document containing tips, tricks, and tools for reviewers on the NetGalley platform. It provides extensive information to answer the most common frequently asked questions of most new reviewers on NetGalley.

This is AMAZING!! I don’t know if I missed this when I first started on NetGalley or if it wasn’t easily accessible but I LOVE this!! It’s given me so much more information and answered so many questions I had when I first started. I love how much NetGalley out into this. It’s small but mighty and I think it will be a great tool to use for future new reviewers! Thank you so much NetGalley for providing this to me for review.

This was excellent! I've been reviewing on NetGalley for just under a year and I still picked up on some helpful new tips!

Thank you Netgalley for this valuable resource. I enjoyed the first one and was happy to see an updated version available. This is full of practical and easy to implement advice. I've been a reviewer for a few years now, but its nice to have a refresher now and then!

This guide is a great intro for us NetGalley newbies. It's nice to see everything spelled out in a simple to digest format, rather than having to explore and figure it out all on our own.

So, I wish I had read this when I first started on Netgally. This is such a comprehensive and thorough explanation of the platform along with TONS of useful tips from setting up your profile to writing reviews!

I really think this should be something put in front of every new member so they can better succeed without the struggle I had at first!

After reading NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit I made some changes to my profile in order to better reflect my personality. The PDF was helpful because I understand what the publishers are looking for when they allow us readers access to advanced copies (digital and audio). Recommend to anyone who wants to continue improving being a stronger book advocate.

A great toolkit for new members and members who want a refresher. I have been a member for over a year now and leaned a couple of things I didn't know about NetGalley. Highly recommend.

I learned new things about how to improve my Netgalley profile and reviews. I immediately went and made some updates to my profile after reading the book advocate toolkit.
