I wish I had read this sooner!
This book has all the information you need to be successful on NetGalley. From information to tips and tricks, navigating the website and being approved by top publishing companies, you can find it all on this handbook. Thank you for being so helpful and for making this an easy and enjoyable experience!

Good resource for reviewers. Packed with information and easily digestible. A recommended read for anyone wanting to review books.

Very excellent and helpful guide to using NetGalley. It have me many helpful tips in how to use the site

Great publication for book enthusiasts looking to share their love of reading. The toolkit offers a lot of helpful information for people beginning in this area of content, reviews, arc, etc. We Are Bookish never disappoint in their offerings.

Every new NetGallery user should read this. So much helpful info! I feel like I have a much better understanding of the approval process and how to increase my approval odds, plus I learned that there’s a text to voice option and what to do if I don’t finish a book or don’t download something before it archives.

This was a super helpful guide to navigating the NetGalley website and gave helpful tips on updating your Bio, and writing reviews.

A brief but helpful primer for Netgalley beginners. It covers everything from types of members, your profile, how to navigate Netgalley, requesting books, and giving feedback. A good place to start your Netgalley journey.

Very helpful and informative! Will suggest to other new NetGalley users like myself. Thank you for this resource. 5/5

It’s short, to the point, and packed with useful advice on how to write reviews, engage with publishers, and build your platform as a reviewer.

I liked that it wasn’t just about getting free books, it actually breaks down how to write thoughtful reviews and promote them effectively. The tips on structuring reviews and using different platforms were especially helpful. It’s beginner-friendly, but even if you’ve been reviewing for a while, there are some good reminders about best practices.

That said, it’s more of a guidebook than an in-depth resource. Worth checking out if you’re on NetGalley or thinking about getting into book reviewing.

I found reading through this toolkit quite helpful with setting up my Netgalley profile along with learning the best and most effective way to leave my reviews!

This was a great guide for those just starting out on Netgalley, and a great reminder of how to get the most out of the platform for anyone else. Especially the reminder about request sprees :) Who hasn't done that?!

Wish I would have had it years ago!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a very helpful resource for anyone interested in using NetGalley for tips on writing book reviews.

This was such a helpful toolkit! I've been on Netgalley for over 5 years but I think this would have been so helpful when I first joined. Still, it was a nice refresher - like reminded me I need to update my profile every few months.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy. Opinions are my own.

Very helpful. Loved the illustrations.
I appreciated the additional links to articles inside.
Definitely helped set me up in Netgalley.

I think this is a very useful resource for navigating the platform as a reviewer or a media person. I have witnessed over the last few years how Bookstagram, BookTok, BookTwitter, and other digital communities have grown, so I know that the world of book advocacy is only expanding. I appreciate that this guide is providing insights on how we can stand out, connect with publishers, and find ARCs that are the right fit.

I knew that publishers check member profiles when approving requests, but I didn’t realize that feedback ratio isn’t the only thing that matters. It was helpful to learn that what I write in my bio, how I present my reviews, and where I share them also play a role. I review books across different publications, so defining my primary audience isn’t always straightforward. This guide helped me see it from a publisher’s perspective.

The device guide was another useful section. I know NetGalley has been working to strengthen ARC security, and I appreciate those efforts. I like using the NetGalley app. I think it could use more features like highlights, but overall, it has made reading and navigating ARCs easier.

I also found it helpful to understand why requests get denied. Sometimes publishers reach their approval limit or don’t hold rights for my region. That has definitely happened to me before. Having that context makes the process clearer.

When I write reviews, I often come back to the How to Write a Review section. It’s a simple but effective reference. Overall, I think this is a well-structured, practical guide. It makes discovering, requesting, and reviewing ARCs easier, and I’ll keep coming back to it.

Highly recommend checking this out when you're just getting started on NetGalley. Great graphics, very informative, and super helpful. I looked through this after leaving my first review via NetGalley - I only wish I had read through this sooner!

This was an easy to read, helpful toolkit to get started. As a new NetGalley member, I really appreciate how much care and time NetGalley takes in ensuring reviewers are set up for success. (I did immediately go on an ambitious "request spree," so it would have been good for me to have downloaded this first. Alas!)

i saw someone promote this helpful guide on threads, so i thought i would give it a try! i believe all beginners should have this pointed out to them. it is actually very helpful! thank you!

This resource helped me so much to make little changes to be a better book advocate. I have saved this to reference later as well so that I can always come back to it to remember the helpful tips!

I’ve been using NetGalley for six months and still learned a lot from this toolkit. It’s full of helpful tips and insights I plan to incorporate into my reviews moving forward. I really enjoyed learning more about the app, especially the feature that allows EPUB files to be read aloud, which is great for an audiobook person like me. This is a great resource for both new and experienced reviewers, and I only wish I had known about it sooner!
