Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet was a reading challenge, not a book to review. Challenges like this are always motivating, and can help with the decision fatigue we sometimes get when our TBR list is too long!

The *Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet* is a well-rounded guide for NetGalley users, offering essential resources for navigating the platform, from requesting books to crafting reviews. Designed for both newcomers and seasoned reviewers, the packet helps readers understand NetGalley’s mission: connecting book enthusiasts with authors and publishers to generate buzz for upcoming releases.

Beginning with a clear introduction to the platform, the packet explains the value of advanced reader copies (ARCs) for authors seeking early feedback. It then moves into how to build a standout profile, with tips on crafting an engaging bio and listing relevant affiliations to increase approval chances. There’s also a section on writing constructive, respectful reviews, offering sample reviews and advice on how to balance genuine feedback with supportive insights.

In addition to review guidance, the packet includes strategies for sharing reviews across social media, personal blogs, and sites like Amazon and Goodreads, helping users maximize their reach. Tips for creating eye-catching content on Instagram and other platforms make this packet especially useful for book influencers looking to grow their audience.

The packet encourages deeper involvement through NetGalley’s community features, such as reading badges, challenges, and interactive goals, fostering a sense of community among users. Finally, an FAQ section provides troubleshooting tips and answers to common questions, ensuring a smooth experience.

It’s an ideal tool for those eager to enhance their reviewing skills and engage more fully with authors, publishers, and fellow readers.

Camp NetGalley was really fun. It was a great way to get motivated to read. The materials in the Welcome packet were thoughtful and interesting and had a fun camp theme that added to the enjoyment of summer reading.

This is a great tool and a fun summer activity, thank you so much Netgalley for putting together this packet!

I honestly love the idea of this! As a kid I always loved to do fun reading challenges during the summer to win things like a free pizza at Pizza Hut so it’s awesome to continue this as an adult! Although I did get off track during the summer due to not having a lot of free time, I really hope to do this again next year!

So fun! I enjoyed the challenge of an adult summer reading program!! What a great way to get us as adults excited to participate!

I thought this would be a really fun way to get into NetGalley as I just joined this year but my summer got so busy, and this was pre work than I realized,and this entirely fell by the wayside. I really wish I had done it, it seemed like it was really good resource. Maybe I’ll be able to join next year and actually do it!

I enjoyed this. Being new to Netgalley, I'm still learning. I forgot to leave this review back when it happened so I'm leaving it now. Lol

This was a fun little booklet. I forgot to review it earlier but i love how NetGalley is always coming up with these things

This was fun for the summer! I hope Netgalley has more challenges like this. The instructions were a bit cumbersome but that is my only critique.

This was a fun summer camp idea! Hoping this comes around again. It wasn’t as easy to understand how to participate from the document I found.

How fun! I really enjoyed this and hope it will be back next summer. This is great for anyone who is new to NetGalley. I definitely would recommend it to all participants.

Great way to keep track of the books you are reading. I know that this was just for thee summer but it might be nice to put together one for the whole year for your reviewers.

So cute!!! I love that ya'll did this event. Thank you!
This was such a fun thing to participate in. I just totally forgot to do my review!! :)

This was fun! I hope NetGalley does more things like this in the future. I’m always down for a reading challenge to mix things up a bit

I wasn't exactly sure what to write for this one, as I wasn't really sure exactly what I needed to do! But I appreciate NetGalley for the opportunity!

I didn’t understand how this worked. It would not open for me so I was unable to give accurate feedback.

I love netgalley so much and this entire experience was so fun. I appreciate netgalley for giving me the opportunity.

In not sure what this is or how I downloaded it. I'm not even sure how to open it to see what it is.
