Very informative, easy to understand and covers all major concerns for people who are first timers on net galley.

Useful overview of how NetGalley works as well as tips on how to create content and build up a social media presence if you’re interested in getting into the bookish social media world. I was expecting a large text document so I was pleasantly surprised to find an Infograph-style document.

I'm sitting here wishing that I'd read this toolkit before I got started on this NetGalley adventure because I have DEFINITELY fallen into the book request frenzy and having read this, I understand why this may not have been the best idea. 😂

Luckily, there are a whole host of other tips, tricks and resources shared in this toolkit, so whether you're just getting started or you're wanting to refresh/recalibrate your experience, this is absolutely worth reading a few times, and then having a good go at implementing what's recommended.

I am excited to be a part Net Galley community. The advocate toolkit was extremely helpful and easy to digest. I know it’ll be a continued resource. I’ve read my first book and look forward to writing my first review.

Even more helpful information if you're an author looking to either start writing or successfully edit something in hopes of catching a manger/agent/publisher eye.

Helpful tool. I liked that the text here is concise, but they provide links where they elaborate certain topics in lenght. I found a link that doesn't work anymore, though.
