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?

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.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a fantastic resource. For the beginner it has valuable information about writing reviews and navigating the site. It is short and engaging. For those that are more experienced, it's a great refresher and there might be a few pearls to be gained.

Thank you We Are Bookish!

Helpful as always.


Most enjoyed the sections on building a strong profile and creating custom collections. Also enjoyed the sections on giving negative feedback and fighting reviewer’s block.

This guide was extremely useful to get started. The beginning of my journey on Netgalley was quite daunting and this made it all a bit easier - it gave me the confidence to go out there and apply for books knowing that I'm presenting myself as best I can. Thank you!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit was thorough and precise. It provided a detailed listing of all of the necessary need to know information, regarding the NetGalley experience. I very much look forward to reading the Social Media Toolkit, once it is published. I think newcomers, as well as established galley readers can benefit from reading this tool.
