The NetGalley 's Book Advocate Toolkit is a very useful guide for understanding how NetGalley works, what elements to look for when submitting requests, and how to structure your review. Thank you for compiling this.

I was a little skeptical going into this but honestly this is something I can see myself referring back to this a lot - especially with trying to be more active with my NetGalley account! I love how accesible this is and easy to navigate around! It gave me some great tips on updating my profile, especially my bio in order to really optimise my profile as well as the approval profiles for other publishers!

A good little book to get you started (or to improve) your book advocacy. This book has a lot of tips for how to use NetGalley to boost your influence in the book social media world. There are some repetitions from the Social Media Guide book, it is important information that should be given should the reader not pick up the other book. The design of this book is fun and engaging, and the little tips with additional links to more information are an added bonus. Definitely check this out if you are looking to become a book influencer.

Excellent toolkit to help with keeping my profile up to date and great tips for writing reviews of books. I learnt a few new things as well such as the pencil next to my reviewed books! I had no idea what this was until reading this kit

The NetGalley's Book Advocate Advocate Toolkit is a helpful tool for all those using NetGalley, but especially so for book reviewers.
It outlines the various accounts that are available to NetGalley users and walks reviewers through all aspects of using the website and app.
In addition to walking readers through the process of setting up an account, how to request books successfully, and how to review and upload those reviews the book even outlines what to do if one was not able to finish a book. It includes a handy flow chart for readers to figure out what to do in such a situation.
I would recommend NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit to all those who use NetGalley to review books, particularly those just starting out.

This guide is an overview of the review process at NetGalley. I found it extremely helpful and will refer back to it again in the future. I recommend reading it as soon as you set up your NetGalley account and wish I would have read it then instead of after completing several reviews. However, I still found it extremely helpful. I’ve already made some updates to my profile and taken a few notes on submitting reviews. The format is very graphic and easy to consume. Thank you NetGalley for putting out this guide.

I would like to thank NetGalley for this Toolkit!

It is a very useful and helpful guide for NetGalley users both seasoned and new! It not only helps you create your profile but also gives tips and tricks for requesting and reviewing books, including how to structure and write good reviews! It is well formatted, easy to read and access, and contains links for additional information.

Those new to NetGalley will find this toolkit invaluable for understanding how it works and the reviewing platform. Even those who have been using NetGalley a while will find some of the information in this revised and updated edition of the toolkit helpful, or at least a good refresher! I found a lot of useful tidbits that will help me boost my review ratio and stay on top of my reviews!

Definitely a good reference guide to keep handy!

A great guide to making the best use of NetGalley from creating your portfolio to requesting and reviewing books. As a new user I found the section on structuring and writing book reviews particularly helpful. I would imagine experienced users would still find some nuggets of helpful information here.

The guide is also well formatted, easy to read, and contains links to additional information on each topic. Highly recommend for folks to gain a better understanding of the NetGalley platform.

NetGalley’s updated guide for using the site puts the myriad of how to’s together in one convenient place for members. I’ve been on the site for a while, and I would have loved this quick-start guide as a reference. I’ll be spreading the word about this invaluable resource.

Thanks to NetGalley for the legwork putting this together. It’s visually appealing, and it includes convenient links in separate areas to different articles on the site for further reading.
