The Book Advocate Toolkit has been extremely helpful in helping me review books and think about the way that I interact with NetGalley. All of the tips are extremely helpful and include suggestions that I had never heard before. I appreciate the fact that tips and suggestions were outlined in a way that allows readers to use them as steps for improving their reviews and the way that they use NetGalley. I will definitely return to this periodically to make sure that I am incorporating these helpful tips in all of my reviews.
Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley for this toolkit!

I enjoyed this overview although didn’t learn much of anything new… EXCEPT I didn’t ever notice the publisher’s notes on what they look for in approving a reader, so that was a nice find.

Very useful guide. Expectations clearly explained and very easy to read. As others have said, I really should have read this guide before falling into the "request spree."
