Great guide that is helpful for beginners who don't know how to use this app/website. Well structured with suggestions on how to plan and post on different platforms.

This was very helpful with giving me pointers on how to write book reviews. I would recommend this guide to anyone who joins NetGalley or who hasn't written reviews in a while and needs a refresher.

Even though I've been reviewing books on NetGalley for just over a year, I have recently become more active and consistent with reviewing and posting on my bookstagram account so this was the perfect read to touch up on how I can improve my reviews. I honestly wish I read this when I first started with NetGalley because there was some super handy tips. Highly recommend for new reviewers!

Fantastic, very practical advice for readers using NetGalley for advanced reader copies. Everything you need to know, regardless of where you review the books (Facebook, Instagram, Blogs, YouTube, TicTok, etc.). Helpful hints on: how to create your profile, how to request books, what to include in your review, and much more! I would highly recommend this for anyone who is getting started with NetGalley.

This was a lifesaver for a newbie. Everyone new to NetGalley should give this a read and take notes if they want to get started and succeed in the Book-verse. Truly great.

Some great tips on how to review in general including DO and Don't but also specifically to the different platforms and what might work.

Helpful guide for how to write reviews. Not sure if it counts against your feedback rate though, which would be super annoying if it does.

As someone who has had the chance to read and review a few books on Netgalley but is still relatively new to it all, I found this guide very useful particularly the sections on the weekly checklist email, social media content planning tips, and advice on the information to include in a Netgalley profile (and the importance of updating this regularly!). I was also unaware that it is not considered best practice to include quotes in reviews which is something I had been doing up to this point and will change when writing reviews in the future.

Thank you to Netgalley for making this guide available and providing new reviewers with tips and advice while also allowing us to boost our feedback ratio.

Got a copy of this Toolkit from NetGalley (of course) and absolutely love it! I thought it'd only go over how to set up and utilize your NetGalley account, but the pages about how to set up and make your review social media platforms stand out were a nice surprise. I am new to Bookstagram and Goodreads and hope to expand to a blog and Youtube eventually. The whole process can be a bit overwhelming. The tips for social media and how to grow/get started had very practical suggestions that I will be implementing as I grow my online review presences.

Thank you NetGalley for making this easy to read toolkit! I'll definitely be re-reading many times over.

It gave good information. It was stuff that was good to know. I’m writing this mainly to get my feedback rate up, so it’s quite a bit of slowed spew so that I can get it too one hundred words.

Nice to have to check back to!! I actually enjoyed skimming through this and getting some insight on Netgalley and applying for arcs, etc

I found this toolkit extremely helpful! It was great to receive insight into the book reviewing process. I enjoyed reading the Do's and Don'ts of reviewing as well as learning about the different avenues and resources available for book reviewing. I believe anyone getting started on NetGalley and starting their book reveiwer journey would benefit from reading this toolkit. I feel I did!

Thank you NetGalley for providing this resource!

This guide was incredibly helpful for me since I am just starting out on NetGalley. It also gave some great tips for other social media like Instagram and TikTok. Definitely check this out if you haven’t already!

This was a fantastic guide! If you are just starting out in the review sphere, this has some great tips. I really liked that it had a section about accessibility as well.. I feel like that is something that is frequently overlooked.

I found this guide to be extremely helpful! I very much appreciate the advice and expertise provided here. Will definitely reference this in the future.

This manual was very thorough and helpful, but would be better for most if there were examples to showcase what publishers are looking for in a review.

This is a brilliant book to help you with all your reviews, social media profiles and even tips on writing good reviews.

No one should start with Netgalley until they have read this handy guide full of information to help you on your way to reading and reviewing.
