This is a fantastic kit for helping to get started on NetGalley. If you are looking to set up an account or start a blog the NetGalley's Book Advocate Tool Kit is a perfect place to start. I thoroughly recommend it. Love the suggestions on how to download Audible books. This is something I did not know how to do.
A very continent pocket guide if you don’t feel like scouring NetGalley’s Help pages for the same details.
A great guide to getting started with NetGalley. I learned a lot about review ratios and also that publishers have preferences as to who they grant books to. Helpful resource!
It's always handy to have a reminder and tips on how to write the most effective reviews and how to sell myself in my Netgalley bio! I've kept this so that I can keep referring back to it. Thanks for making it available.
Love it. Thank you NetGalley for all the awesome resources you are giving us this year, and always.
I especially loved the 2024 camp, and love the badge.
I got lots of helpful tips to make my NetGalley bio even better and how to improve my reviews in general. The toolkit also offers tons of useful tips to enhance your general experience reviewing books on NetGalley and on the platform in general.
Very helpful toolkit for getting started with NetGalley. Includes tips on creating your profile, site navigation, writing reviews, blogging, social media do's and don'ts, and promoting yourself on social media.
This is the PERFECT toolkit on how to get started when wanting to become an ARC reviewer. As well as needing a refresher when forgetting certain rules or guidelines or just in general tips. The format is very easy to follow and read and is only 31 pages long. It’s also nice for those struggling to write meaningful reviews by showing you an example. I strongly recommend reading even if you aren’t new to leaving reviews.
The new Book Advocate Toolkit is a handy resource for new and experienced NetGalley users alike. It provides answers to all the most common questions a user might have in a single convenient place. The information is spread across 31 pages, broken down logically without crowding too much information in front of the reader at once. The style is light and a little quirky with a pastel palate and a scrapbooking aesthetic. Many topics provide links to more detailed blog posts or knowledgebase articles for those who wish to dig deeper.
The new edition really doesn't address any of my gripes with the earlier edition. It relies heavily on providing links to websites instead of simply including the information directly in the book. If I wanted to read a website or watch a video, I would have done that. It's a nicely designed book, and it does provide some better clarifications about certain aspects of NetGalley, although most of it is shunted into links
This guide is perfect for those who are new to NetGalley. It is really helpful in getting approved, writing a bio, and writing reviews. It explained that there is a difference between ARCs, ALCs, and DRCs, which helps write reviews. I would recommend anyone new to NetGalley to read this guide before they start requesting books.
This is a clear and well laid out guide for people using NetGalley. It has very useful instructions on how to make the most of using NetGalley while also providing excellent tips & tricks to help you enhance your experience. From reading this guide I have learned the basics on how to go about using this platform to the best of my ability in a clear and concise way.
An essential read for anyone who is new to the platform.
