This is such a helpful guide to approaching NetGalley! I really appreciated how it provided a clear AND concise overview of all of the features. The visual layout really helped me understand the basics. I especially loved the tips for getting feedback up and advising on what a publisher might be looking for. Lastly, the fact that there are review tips was a godsend. Very nice to know I haven't been way off thus far, while also offering new advice on what's important to include and how to structure.

Great read! As a new member of NetGalley, it was great to read more about the platform. I feel like I have a much better understanding of NetGalley and it’s standards/culture/etiquette. Thank you for putting this guide together!

Very helpful and quick read! I updated my profile and made sure I was doing everything correctly on this site.

This is an excellent toolkit for new and established users of Netgalley. It is nice to have a refresher to know what is expected to be listed in our bios and reviews. I highly recommend this toolkit to all Netgalley users.

This was a great refresh on best NetGalley practices, all in one location. I liked seeing the examples for bios because I struggle with knowing whether I’ve put too much or too little in mine. Thank you, NetGalley and We Are Bookish, for putting this together.

Such a great toolkit! Thank you so much We Are Bookish for all these tips and tricks! I will definitely be putting some of them to use.

This book was actually quite helpful. I have been getting rejected for book requests, and the book was very insightful as to why. Thank you!

This was a very helpful guide to advocating for my books that I receive! I appreciate the clear guideposts and table of contents. I will continue to reference this guide in the future. Thank you NetGalley!

Great information! Very informative and helped to clarify what is expected of the reviewer! Wish I had downloaded this sooner to review.

If you’re new to NetGalley and unsure where to start, I highly recommend the *NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit*. This 31-page guide is an excellent resource for beginners, offering clear and practical tips to help you navigate the platform like a pro.

As someone fairly new to book reviewing on NetGalley, I found it invaluable to have all the tips and recommendations in one easy-to-access place.

The guide covers essential topics such as creating your profile, navigating the site, writing reviews, and using blogging and social media platforms to promote yourself. It’s also great for those looking to engage with the book community more effectively.

Whether you're a beginner or just in need of a refresher, this toolkit is a must-have!

A fantastic overview for NetGalley newbies! I even learned some things. What a neat option that ebooks can be read from the NetGalley shelf now! This is such a helpful guide. Thanks for creating this!

It was a nice guide for someone who's just starting their journey on Netgalley. There are some useful suggestions that I will definitely use!

There are good tips shared about requesting and reviewing books/ audiobooks.

Requesting books/ audiobooks:
I didn’t realize you can “wish for it”and that sometimes publishers will grant your wishes. I also did not know that you can “withdraw a request.” I like the option to send books to your Kindle. Too bad there isn’t an option to send books to your Kobo.

While reading:
I didn’t know there was a text to speech and annotating feature on EPub.

Reviewing:
The bit on who you recommend the book to is good to keep in mind for the audience. This seems obvious, but I sometimes forget to do this. The toolkit gave me a reminder to comment on narration and flow when reviewing audiobooks. I sometimes forget or don’t write details on this.

Overall, NetGalley’s tool kit is 31 pages, but is simplified and easy to read/ get through.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit Revised and Updated is a comprehensive guide that provides essential information for creating your member profile, writing book reviews, and using NetGalley effectively.

The revised and updated edition of the toolkit is designed for ease of use. It is concise and visually appealing, with graphic boxes containing various tips, and includes page numbers for quick reference. The FTC, NetGalley, and publisher review guidelines are condensed for easy understanding.  However, it’s worth noting that this updated version does not include social media information, which will be available in a separate resource. Lastly, the resource is a PDF that can be downloaded on your desktop.

Whether you are just starting or an experienced advocate, this resource is necessary for honing your book-reviewing skills and enhancing your NetGalley experience.

Good reference material for netgalley users getting started. As a long-time user there was not as much new information but still good reference materials for future use.

this is going to be a really grate tool for new people learning to navigate the NetGally platform!!
The information is simply and easy to digest, all and all a grate resource!
😁

If you use Netgalley to get Advanced Review Copies of books like me, The Book Advocate Toolkit is an essential read. Publishers look at out profilers before accepting our review requests. This toolkit gives tips on how to create your profile, such as listing a few favourite authors but not wasting your time listing all of your favourite categories as that information is available on your profile anyway..
You will get advice on how to navigate Netgalley's website to get the most from it, how to write a book review and why your Feedback ratio is important.
At only 31 pages, why wouldnt you give this a quick read?

I wanted to sharpen my skills on leaving quality reviews.
Thank you for the source to look at when i need a little reminder on writing a good review.

What a great idea to make this toolkit. It has a ton of great information inside to help with your NetGalley account.

As a new member I have just started my journey on sharing my love for books online. I was so happy to get this guide. The document was honestly helpful in navigating NetGalley for me since I get anxious on public platforms online, especially when I need to share my reviews! It just doesn't provide information on the website but the toolkit also provide tips for new book reviewers like me. I loved how all the information were presented as infographics which made reading much easier and enjoyable! Thank you NetGalley for providing us newbies with the Book Advocate Toolkit. All the reviews are my own.
