I've been on NetGalley for a little over a year and I downloaded this guide to brush up on my skillset. I recently started a Bookstagram account, so I'm hoping to take my book review game up a notch. This guide was very useful to remind myself of the protocols, tips, and tricks to be successful in my endeavors.

An excellent guide to all the ins and outs of NetGalley. Whether you're a new user figuring out what it's all about or a veteran who needs a brush up this is the place to answer all your questions. The layout is eye catching and graphic making it easy to read. Articles with more in depth information are linked throughout, allowing this guide to keep to key points. This prevents it from being an overwhelming amount of information, especially for new users, while being an excellent resource to reference for anything you might need to know. A must read for all NetGalley users!

Super nifty tool! I love that NetGalley provides these tool kits for us to help with reviewing. They are always very informative and easy to understand.

I'm glad I read this book once I've got some books on my shelf and written few reviews. It helps (and reminds) me of what essential in my Netgalley account, as well as giving concise direction for the "advocacy". I will definitely audit my netgalley account better with this book!

This is a great resource on how to be a good literary community member. While I've written reviews before, it's nice to have a ready checklist on what else I can do to ensure authors get nuanced, informative reviews on their work and set expectations for readers.

Okay, where was this when I started on NetGalley and had no idea what I was doing and killed my feedback ratio by over-requesting??!!

This book is seriously helpful, so many great tips about how to get the most out of NetGalley. Plus little insider tricks (like what the orange bookmark means on your reviews and how to save publishers you love). All of it was super helpful, I will definitely be saving this as a resource to reference when I have a question.

If you are new to NetGalley, or trying to get your account started up again. I highly recommend downloading this and giving it a read. It's super quick, easy to digest, and filled with helpful tips and tricks!

This was super helpful to get started on NetGalley and on bookstagram! As someone new to both, understanding expectations of publishers, guidelines for sharing information about books, and tips for reviews were great tools to get started. I got approved for my first few books and I’m excited to dive in.

The guide gives helpful hints on how to set up your profile. There is a link to an article written by a publisher about what they actually look at in your profile to determine if you receive an ARC. It was very interesting and I changed my profile. I only rate this book a 4 because the information was brief and did not create a clear format for writing a review.
