This is a fantastic guide on NetGalley! I'm sad I'm finding it so far into my journey but still found useful advice here! I can't wait to implement some of the tips shared, particularly regarding my profile. Thanks, NetGalley!

For anyone new to NetGalley and book reviews in general, this is a wonderful resource to have. Absolutely take a read through this and get started on your NetGalley book review journey. Even as an experienced reviewer, there were a few tips in here that I found useful.

I appreciate these helpful tools. I was particularly interested in seeing an example of a review of a DNF book. Even though I have been reviewing on NetGalley for several years, there is always something to learn. Thank you for producing this guide.

This was very helpful and informative! I used the tips here to strengthen my profile. I also learned of some great features on the website to help organize books that need to be reviewed, which will be much simpler than my current list in my notes app. Thank you NetGalley!

This was so helpful! Definitely holding this close to reference again in the future!
I hadn't realised until reading this that I could withdraw a request or see if my review had been featured on the Book Details page.

I enjoyed reading NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit. I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely. Happy Reading!

This is a useful publication from Net Galley. Lots of useful information for newbies to experienced Net Galley members alike. It contains examples of reviews and explanations of various areas of Net Galley. I wish it had been available when I first joined!

Loved having an updated Toolkit, thanks NetGalley! Gave me the inspiration to update my profile with current followers and important key words. Even though I’ve been a NetGalley member for a while I took the advice of book review suggestions and am now following the tips and it feels better and more concise. I found it useful to read about feedback ratio and what to do. I found the tips and guidelines useful and user friendly!

Thanks for all the tips! I have been reviewing for quite sometime but it’s nice to review NetGalley expectations

This is a great guide for NetGalley users, it doesn't matter if you’re new to the site or have been using it a while, there are lots of handy tips. I am currently updating my profile after reading this! I wish I’d had this when starting out a few months ago so that I could have my profile better reflect my personality from the start!

There are so many helpful tips to improve your NetGalley experience, as well as links to more comprehensive articles and more in depth explanations on how to use the app and website! One of my favourite things was the chat about when to DNF a book/when to use the "will not give feedback" feature!

I definitely recommend to everyone on NetGalley but especially anyone who wants to continue improving being a stronger book advocate.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit
Revised Edition
We Are Bookish

NetGalley updated their Book Advocate Toolkit on 7/22/2024, providing users with current guidelines and fresh tips for using the NetGalley platform.
I have been a member of NetGalley since 2021, and I loved having a refresher course to reinforce and bring me up to date with NetGalley's guidelines. The toolkit also provides tips to encourage my success as a book reviewer.

The guide is so well-organized, flowing smoothly from how to create a strong profile and keep up a good ratio to writing reviews and sharing them. Examples are given for reviews. I was glad to read about what is expected from members, so that I can strive to uphold those expectations. Terms are explained, and photos and instructions are shared on navigating the website and Shelf App. The visuals are in a pleasing format and colors.

Many thanks to We Are Bookish for offering this useful and educational toolkit to NetGalley members.
I received a copy from NetGalley. My review is my own.

Once upon a time I wanted to be a NetGalley reviewer and now I'm on my way. Thank you for helping this socially awkward reader. These tips will help me get started.

I wish that I had downloaded this sooner! This was extremely helpful and gave me a better idea of what is expected of me as a NetGalley reader.

Wow! Why wasn't this toolkit around when I started on NetGalley? This is fabulous.

I have been a NetGalley member for years, and there are tips/tricks in this toolkit that I only recently discovered on my own. This would have been so useful if it was sent to me as soon as I signed up. I think it will also help with a lot of questions that readers post on different social media sites looking for help from others.

I like how it is arranged, and it is an easy pdf to read on my computer. I also like that there are links for more information. The only thing I would change is to highlight more reviews that publishers would like to see. They could be reviews regarding different genres.

This toolkit will be beneficial for all reviewers.
