Such a useful guide! Although I've been using Netgalley for a couple of years, I didn't realize resources I was missing out on! I tweaked my profile, found out more about the book club guides, and signed up for a newsletter!

This book is all about NetGalley and how to get around the site. It's very informative and a great introduction to people just joining the site and wanna learn the ropes.

Very beneficial. Your site is already pretty user friendly, this helped fill in the gaps. Absolutely useful, no matter what you are reviewing for.

Such a helpful resource to us new reviewers getting started on NetGalley! I appreciated the tips on how to target review timelines to be most beneficial as well as guidelines for effective reviews.

Super helpful introduction to NetGalley and the behind the scenes expectations from publishers.

I just wish I read this when I started sooner!

This was so helpful! ill be using all of these tips! I'm not 'new' to netgalley, but i have learned a lot and will be applying everything to make me a better reviewer in general and on here

This was a very helpful kit, very useful for getting to grips with NetGalley. Thank you for providing it!

This toolkit provides a comprehensive overview of NetGalley, and will probably save new users some time and frustration. The layout is colorful and clear, which makes it fun to read; I especially appreciated the links to click for more information, keeping the reader from being overwhelmed with details they may not need right now.

The section on Navigating NetGalley was particularly useful - it took me a few days of playing around on the site to find everything shown here. Also, the simple tips in How To Write a Review will help anyone who is struggling to get started or needs to review a book they didn't like at all. There's even a flow chart on How to DNF, to let the reader know what to do when they didn't finish a book for any of a number of reasons.

As quick and pleasant as this is to read, it also has quite a lot of useful information. I'd recommend that everyone starting out on NetGalley check it out. And, as they point out, reviewing it will help your books reviewed percentage. That makes it a win-win in my book.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this for review.
