This guide has been really helpful in getting started with Net Galley. It is succinct and to the point and I can see myself going back to it in the following weeks and months as I build my profile. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about NetGalley or looking to build their profile!!

As a new NetGalley user I found this to be very useful. It was suggested in an email I received that declined me from a title I requested. I understand now that since I had no reviews yet that I need to up my game and read the books available without request to get my account looking better and up to par with what publishers are looking for. I'm excited to get started!

Many thanks NetGalley ❤️

A comprehensive guide on how to use NetGalley, how to review, and how to plan posts on social media.

This Toolkit would be useful for those new to reviewing books on Netgalley and those who have been around for a while. I especially found the review tips helpful to see what publishers are looking for across review platforms. There are also etiquette suggestions (when to share publicly about receiving an ARC, when to tag authors, etc.) that should be required reading for those getting into reviewing. I also would recommend this to those trying to grow any book-related social media platforms, because the app-specific advice is very helpful.

Helpful and succinct. Hopefully I can use some of these tips to get more requests accepted! It was laid out in an easily understood way and had a lot of interesting information. I'm glad it wasn't just text and had fun captions. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to know more about NetGalley!

This was a great introduction to using Netgalley and the expectations that exist for reviewers. It was a help and quick read that covered a lot of information, but it a way that made things more attainable feeling, rather than more overwhelming!

Very helpful tool to begin your NetGalley journey, there's a lot of suggestions on how to set up your profile properly and make it more appealing to publishers. There's also sections for the different other platforms you might use to review books (such as instagram, youtube and tiktok). It's very short, but there's also other links inside so you can keep learning!

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for writing this Book Advocate Toolkit for those starting their NetGalley journey. It is such a helpful book to refer back to as we get to grips with being an ARC reviewer. I thoroughly recommend those who are beginner ARC reviewers to grab a copy as it will be your helpful best friend in your journey!

Very helpful information as a new reviewer on Netgalley! I am so glad I looked through it!

It is a great guide for whichever type of profile you create. It also breaks down the Do's and Don't of each type of reviewer including social media, blogger, etc. This also provides tips on how to effectively write reviews and gives examples of the different types of reviews.

I wish this had been linked somewhere when I was just starting out with book reviews! It's an FAQ on steroids, and super helpful.
