This was a great introduction to NetGalley and how it works. Everything was presented in an easy to read manner and the table of contents is clickable/linked so the user can easily jump to the topic that they are looking for. It really does help make the NetGalley less overwhelming for users looking to just get started. I think it can also be handy for even more seasoned users because it includes review tips and how to better find one's review voice/style.

Some information I found to be useful was the inclusion of how to write the Bio on your NetGalley profile. I really appreciated that since sometimes I have trouble crafting what I should include and make my profile stand out more. The how to handle a DNF chart was also very valuable and helps me be better prepared in knowing how to go about the situation if I feel like I need DNF an arc.

Thank you to We Are Bookish.

This has been a helpful toolkit. Thank you NetGalley for the helpful tips and tricks on improving my reading and reviews.

This guide is easy to read guide and to understand. It gave me the basics on how to use the site and how to recieve and get approved for ARCs.

Thank you Netgalley for this guide.

Thanks We Are Bookish – this toolkit was super helpful for Reviewers starting out. It was great to see the NetGalley features I hadn't found yet, and all the tips for writing different types of reviews. The layout was easy to follow, and the supporting links to web pages provided useful deep-dive content. I feel a lot more prepared and would definitely recommend to other new reviewers, or anyone who might need a refresher.

This was a helpful overview, even for someone who has been using NetGalley for over a year now and crafting book reviews casually, off and on, for many more. While maybe not groundbreaking , they’re good reminders, especially if you’re dealing with a bit of review-block. Good resource!

Thank you, We Are Bookish, for continuing to release such helpful tutorials! I wish I’d had the forethought to find this when I first became an active NetGalley reader, but alas, I’ve always been the type to dive right in, user manuals be damned.

I’ve already incorporated several tips and tricks from this guide and will keep using its advice to improve my experience and strengthen my skills as a reviewer. I don’t want to just participate, I want to provide meaningful, thoughtful feedback.

This toolkit should be mandatory reading for anyone new to NetGalley. Learn from my mistakes. Save yourselves.

This is a good tool kit, I’ve been in the book social media community for almost two years and this was helpful

This toolkit is a great way to jump-start your NetGalley experience. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who’s new to NetGalley or arc reviewing in general. If you have a decent amount of experience, this may feel a little redundant at times (which was my experience) - but it’s still a very quick read and a nice refresher.

I wish NetGalley promoted these more to new users, because I would have gotten a lot more out of this if I had read it last year, when I first joined NetGalley.

This handbook was made very well! It was colorful and easy to navigate and read. The tips were very useful in accessing certain features and showed how to utilize others that new users may overlook. Thank you for putting this guide together for new users!

This was a super helpful guide for netgalley, it answered all the questions that I had and I think everyone who is just getting started on this site definitely needs to check it out!

This is a short handbook providing tips to reviewers new to NetGalley. I really loved how concise this was, and easy to read! The tips and example of a good bio really helped me create a strong looking profile that will hopefully attract publishers. The explanation of feedback ratio and why it is important was also really helpful. I didn't understand the importance of feedback ratio or why I shouldn't go on a "request spree" when just starting out. I would strongly encourage anyone new to NetGalley to read this toolkit before doing anything else!

Thank you, NetGalley, for this book! It makes navigating and using Netgalley so easy! It also shares fun tips I had no idea about. I love the hyperlinks to online resources for further explanations.

The Toolkit was very helpful starting out and it was nice to have for reference when questions came up. I appreciate them making this available for those who need it and it can continue to be used as a refresher.

I’m still quite new to NetGalley, seeing as I only started my journey earlier this year. All of the resources provided by We Are Bookish are so incredibly helpful to get started and set yourself up for success!

I really appreciated all the tips and recommendations listed. It’s well laid out and clearly guides me through the NetGalley process from start to finish, including how to avoid negatively impacting my account.
Definitely take a look at it before beginning your review process.

I really love these additional resources that NetGalley has created for us--I really appreciate NetGalley making it available to us. Thank you!

This toolkit is very helpful. It explained things like when to write a review when you DNF'ed and helped me write a review for a book I just read.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit was very helpful for first time reviewers. The tips for building out our profile were helpful. The navigation guide was invaluable. I must say, it was because of this Toolkit that I withdrew a few additional review requests I had made. The advice to not overcommit yourself is good. This will help keep the reviewer’s feedback ratio at 80% or higher. This guide was the perfect length. It covered exactly what one needs to know without overloading the learner. I also appreciate that there is a guideline for a book one may choose to DNF, as this does happen. All around, this guide is wonderful.

This downloadable toolkit has plenty of tips to help the NetGalley newbie (like me) get their feet on the ground. It can be read in one sitting, but is definitely a book I'll save and refer back to.

I normally don't like digital text that has different colored backgrounds for different sections, but the graphics for this book are very well done. The font is clear and the relationship between background graphics and text actually made the text more readable than many such handbooks that I have looked at.

An excellent reference tool. Well done, NetGalley!

A useful guide for getting started with reviews on NetGalley; probably best for those new to the community.
