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. Thanks so much to the NetGalley team for pulling this together and sharing it with the book community!

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!

This was put together in a way that was quick and easy to review. I liked the guidance on how to handle a DNF review, something I have always wondered about. I wish I had access to this when I first started my NetGalley account two years ago, a lot of the information would have been very helpful for a new ARC reviewer!

This is a wonderfully thorough guide to using Net Galley. I have been a member for many years and was thrilled to learn some new things.
The information is laid out well and very user friendly. I plan to refer back to it on what a review should include and several other subjects. This would be helpful to reread periodically. I hope they will update it as things change.
