Incredibly helpful overview to NetGalley. Because of this, I was able to develop a spreadsheet that helps me efficiently organize and prioritize my DRCs and document important things I want to include in my reviews (including hashtags, publisher’s social media handles, etc.).
A very helpful and insightful resource! Very thankful that NetGalley took the time to produce this and provided it to their readers!
Thank you for this toolkit! Having additional information to guide how I write my reviews and to better serve the publishers and authors is extremely helpful.
Very helpful with easy to read dot points and interesting graphics.
Information that I will definitely refer to in the future.
Very good and helpful advice for navigating NetGalley and ARC retrievals and reviews. Thank you so much!!!
As someone who is new to the reviewing field, I found this guide extremely helpful. I am envious of all the bookstagram accounts because I never know where to start. I think if I sat down and went step-by-step with this guide, I would be able to set up something. This is a great resource and I hope to see more of these guides in the future.
Thank you Netgalley for this helpful resource.
I downloaded this guide to get a refresher on all things ARC and netgalley. It was filled with a bunch of advice helpful for all netgalley readers.
The graphics were cute and engaging. I especially appreciated the links to more information. The use of graphics and links kept this from being too wordy and I was able to go right to the area I found most interesting.
I’m sure that I will refer back to this useful tool. And I will certainly aim to keep my ratio at 80% or above!!
Thank you!
NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a great resource for people who are starting out and want to make the most of using NetGalley.
My top takeaway was not requesting too many books. I know that I'm on NetGalley because of my love of reading, so the temptation to request lots of titles is real. It's also important to keep your feedback ratio high (this connects with book requests).
Use your social media to post reviews and pay attention to the publication dates. You want to offer positive and constructive feedback about the books you read, and always thank NetGalley and the publisher.
Awesome and insightful for first time users of Netgalley.
I was trying to come to grips with how to work netgalley, with what to do and what not to do. More specifically with feedback and how in depth we need to be without spoiling the book. This little guide is fantastic if you're just starting out and trying to figure out how to work netgalley.
A must-read for those new to NetGalley. Lots of great information and tips in a graphic format that’s easy to flip through. This is something I’m sure I’ll refer to frequently.
NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish is a must read for NetGalley users.
This concise guide is easy to read due to it's clear layout and links to further information.
This publication has made my NetGalley experience more meaningful and enjoyable and no doubt I will refer to the toolkit again over the coming months.
Thanks to Netgalley and We Are Bookish for an opportunity to read and review this title. All opinions are my own.
A great read to get you started! I still have changes I need to make to my profile, but it has given me some great ideas about how to get going and I am getting more ARCs as a result. I think, really, it's all about being social and reading as much as you can! Review review review!!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you. I appreciated the information on book reviews, social media tips, and other things. I also thought that it was wonderfully laid out, and beautiful to read.
Loved this comprehensive guide to NetGalley. I've been writing reviews for a while now, but it was helpful to have a step-by-step type of guide to walk through all the aspects of a review, and go over the different platforms and what each platform prefers.
There are some great tips in this toolkit! Thanks to NetGalley for providing this information on adding substance to reviews and how best to tailor the review for where the information will be posted. I will keep this reference to refer to in the future as I continue my reading & reviewing journey.
