Very helpful toolkit for getting started with NetGalley. Includes tips on creating your profile, site navigation, writing reviews, blogging, social media do's and don'ts, and promoting yourself on social media.

This is the PERFECT toolkit on how to get started when wanting to become an ARC reviewer. As well as needing a refresher when forgetting certain rules or guidelines or just in general tips. The format is very easy to follow and read and is only 31 pages long. It’s also nice for those struggling to write meaningful reviews by showing you an example. I strongly recommend reading even if you aren’t new to leaving reviews.

The new Book Advocate Toolkit is a handy resource for new and experienced NetGalley users alike. It provides answers to all the most common questions a user might have in a single convenient place. The information is spread across 31 pages, broken down logically without crowding too much information in front of the reader at once. The style is light and a little quirky with a pastel palate and a scrapbooking aesthetic. Many topics provide links to more detailed blog posts or knowledgebase articles for those who wish to dig deeper.

The new edition really doesn't address any of my gripes with the earlier edition. It relies heavily on providing links to websites instead of simply including the information directly in the book. If I wanted to read a website or watch a video, I would have done that. It's a nicely designed book, and it does provide some better clarifications about certain aspects of NetGalley, although most of it is shunted into links

This guide is perfect for those who are new to NetGalley. It is really helpful in getting approved, writing a bio, and writing reviews. It explained that there is a difference between ARCs, ALCs, and DRCs, which helps write reviews. I would recommend anyone new to NetGalley to read this guide before they start requesting books.

This is a clear and well laid out guide for people using NetGalley. It has very useful instructions on how to make the most of using NetGalley while also providing excellent tips & tricks to help you enhance your experience. From reading this guide I have learned the basics on how to go about using this platform to the best of my ability in a clear and concise way.

An essential read for anyone who is new to the platform.

This guide was very thorough and I am looking forward to see my approval rate go up. Thanks for sharing this guide NetGalley!

I've always wanted to share my love of books with a community of people, but have never found the right outlet or template for gathering my thoughts. I'm grateful to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for creating such an accessible guide to get me started on my reviewing journey! Thank you We are Bookish for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own (yes, I did learn that one in the guide!)

This toolkit was well laid out and gave clear examples of how to succeed on NetGalley. As someone new to NetGalley, it's nice to have a resource like this to set me up well on the site. Many of the recommendations I was able to implement immediately, and it was a nice introduction to how the site works as well. The embedded links throughout were also helpful to jump to other relevant content that would be helpful specifically to me. I'll definitely keep an eye out for future toolkits, because this one made getting started feel easy and manageable.

Great guide for everything Netgalley. I have saved it for any questions I have in the future and will use the tips for reviews. Thanks!

This toolkit was extremely helpful for a first-time NetGalley user. It provided step-by-step instructions and useful tips on setting up a solid profile.

Don’t make the same mistake I did: read this toolkit before requesting books!!

This toolkit provided a thorough explanation of how NetGalley works with several helpful links to blog posts. It is essential reading if you’re new to NetGalley. I found the most helpful part was the information on how the feedback ratio is calculated and tips to make sure you don’t tank this number! Wish I had read this first before requesting books! Whoops!

Thanks We are Bookish for putting this toolkit together!

Great overview and tool to help readers and those new to NetGalley! 🥳

I’ve been on NG for a couple of years so lots of it was known to me but nice to read and have it re-iterated for me and I took a few tips away that I’ll aim to improve in my reviews.
