I am so glad that NetGalley has taken the time to give us this great Toolkit. I use and the tie I spend in it has really given me tips and hints and guidance on how to be a better reviewer.
I have never been a reviewer that gives way too much information about the book I have read. I avoid reviews like that because I don't want the review to tell me the story, I want to read the book.
Reading and reviewing books is an every changing thing for me. I love to read and if I have written a review that gets others to read the book, I am so happy!
Thank you NetGalley for this amazing book - NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish.
This is my personal review.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a wonderful resource for NetGalley users. Even though I have been with NetGalley for several years I will find this tool as a good resource for the future.

Thank you...this is incredibly helpful and will be of great use to improve my reviews and use of this site!

I’ve been a reviewer for some time, and this was still a very helpful refresher to review! Sometimes I have a hard time giving feedback for a book I wasn’t a fan of, I will definitely be using the advice outlined in this toolkit!

This was a really helpful beginner's guide for getting started with NetGalley. It gives details on how to navigate the site and tips on how to make a good profile, write reviews, and maintain a good feedback ratio. There is even a chart on what to do when you DNF a book. I still refer to this guide even after using NetGalley for a while. I had initially made the mistake of going on a request spree but this guide has helped me to not do it ever again

Whether you’re a new member of NetGalley or a seasoned one, run to this Toolkit ASAP! What an incredible treasure trove it is!
It’s a most excellent tool in better strengthening your profile, both its visual presentation and content appeal. In understanding how to better develop reviews, and how to encourage we each develop our own voice when we present said reviews.
I very much appreciated the links included within the guide— it’s all interactive and will take you straight to the relevant pages on NetGalley’s site.
My overall favorite page was the Feedback Ratio 101. I never have quite understood that feature, but this page clears up perfectly.

To say I'm impressed is understating just how valuable this toolkit is. The information provided is one we all should clamor for, and one we all should learn from. I just applied one of the facets I read (specifically addressing audience target and appeal) to my latest review, and will continue to grow as a reviewer thanks to the priceless intelligence shared within this kit.

Thank you NetGalley!

Great resource for NetGalley users, wish I had thiswhen I first started with NetGalley! Useful tips for updating profile and keeping current with reviews. Recommend to anyone wanted to write stronger reviews.

A very helpful PDF guide full of tips and tricks to update your Net Galley profile!!! I printed this off and put it with my Net Galley reading journal.

Really useful tool for new reviewers on NetGalley just like me. The tips provided for a good review were really helpful together with the example provided.

I wish this Book Advocate Toolkit was made available back when I was just a newbie in Netgalley; this was around 2013 wherein most of my contemporary reviewers are also grasping at straws on how to make good feedback, how to get approved, how to navigate Netgalley. Heh. But we survived, I survived the learning curve and here I am today, still not a pro at reviewing but getting better every review sent.

Anyway, this is a very good guide for the newbies and old timers who are still feeling lost and uncertain about how Netgalley works. Had I been a Netgalley newbie these days, I'd say that this toolkit would have provided me with a lot of clarity and saved me from a lot of heartaches (it's really painful to not get approved by the ARCs you like).

So yes, kudos to the Netgalley and We Are Bookish for this wonderful initiative. It would certainly help a lot of reviewers to become more efficient and better reviewers moving forward.

This is a beautiful, but short, guide on how to best use NetGalley. It uses short snippets of information to detail best practices with easy to understand examples as buttresses.

I was not expecting much but the pages were easy to read and cute which made for a more pleasant guide. I'm happy that NetGalley provided this guide since it helped me to determine what type of review works best on this site.

Reading this resource has highlighted the importance of writing a well-rounded review, as well as suggestions to improve my future reviews.

This book was very helpful and to the point. I am new to Netgalley and this was a good way to familiarize myself with how to use the site.

Very helpful, lots of fantastic information to make anyone successful! Enjoy the breakdown to help with a better format for reviews. I enjoyed falling back onto the details while writing my first full review.

I ended up not using the toolkit. For those that had no way to track their reading, it was probably useful. I did have and just did not have the time to "learn" how to use this since I had a methodology that has worked for me for several years (started before I became a NetGalley reviewer).

For me the Toolkit needs some serious editing/updating. Since this is a negative review, I do not plan to post it on my website or in Goodreads. I believe that NetGalley is very interested in helping their reviewers and did not want to give a negative impression re NetGalley. The Toolkit just wasn't a fit for me.

This was super helpful! Looking forward to the update with the Social Media Toolkit.

I didn’t know that you can make lists on NetGalley or that my Shelf can be sorted by pub date.

Thanks for the help, We Are Bookish! :)
