This is a great "how to" for using NetGalley. It helps with how to use the site, write reviews, and how to share these to be an advocate for authors.

A very helpful toolkit for NetGalley navigation and how-tos. This is great for beginners and seasoned NetGalley users. I found the book review part especially helpful, as it is good to know what the publisher is looking for in a review.

Great book for those getting started!



Clearly laid out everything I needed to know to make sure I could successfully participate in the NetGalley reading program! Easy to follow graphics, perfectly laid out topics and clear start to finish tutorial on the whole process.

While I am not the best at reviews, I will be studying up on the helpful Knowledge Base to improve my reviews for the future.

Great resource! This was very useful for those of us just staring out with NetGalley. It gave lots of information on what to include in your bio as well as what to do when you receive an ARC. It was helpful to go through the information provided and I look forward to more tools.

The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish is a very helpful resource, especially for NetGalley beginners.

It provides several links and insights into how to post and navigate within NetGalley. As someone who had no knowledge of the platform beforehand, I found this content not only easy to understand but also easy to navigate within the desktop version and the app.

The document also provides information on what publishers and consumers are looking for in both your reviews and your profile. This again is helpful for a beginner, as it is difficult to know where to start.

I highly recommend this resource if you are new to NetGalley. I know I will definitely be referencing this as I continue to navigate through the platform and partner with publishers.

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for creating and providing this resource.

Not sure how I’m supposed to give feedback for this one? It’s not exactly a story and I didn’t realize when downloading that it would affect my ratio.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a helpful guide and thorough introduction to the NetGalley platform. The toolkit provides an overview of all of NetGalley's various features, shares tips for making the most of the platform, and links to articles to dive deeper. I especially appreciate the guidance on writing reviews, including critical reviews, and the links to additional resources. I've been using NetGalley for a few years and still learned about some new-to-me features by reading this toolkit. I also anticipate this will remain a handy reference guide in the future.

I absolutely loved this toolkit. As someone who has been using NetGalley for a year now, I felt like this was not only geared towards new users, but also served as a perfect refresher for more seasoned reviewers as wel. I took multiple screenshots and even had a question answered that I was trying to figure out yesterday. Thank you We Are Bookish!
