This seems like quite a useful guide! I am just starting on my book reviewer journey, so I will definitely be going back to it a lot. It's easy to read, it has quick tips and tricks and the layout of the text makes it interesting and easy to go back to.

This guide was extremely helpful in learning how to navigate NetGalley and updating my profile to connect with more publishers and request books that I commonly read. Highly recommend everyone to read this guide!

Thank you, This is great feedback on how to give quality reviews and how to set up your profile to best represent yourself as a quality reviewer!

This was great! It is easy to read, and since I am very visual, I appreciated having photos to guide me better. I learned a few things that I was not aware of. For example, I have only DNFed a couple of books, but now I know better how to handle that. Definitely worth the read!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a helpful guide to navigating NetGalley as a new reviewer. I loved the infographics they used to display their information, it helped me easily understand the tips in a fun way. The most helpful part was setting up the profile, I wasn't sure how to write my bio and this guide truly helped me. I would recommend this to anyone who reviews books even if it's not for NetGalley.

This Book Advocate Toolkit ended up being a really wonderful wealth of information.

Some of my favourite sections included the links to dealing with readers guilt as well as the comprehensive section on how to actually write a good review.

Some of my favourite tips included trying to avoid the requesting spree (I've been guilty of this and I'm still trying to dig my way out of my terrible reviewing ratio because of it) and the flow chart on DNFing.

Overall, I really loved this and hope to see more of this (particularly the social media section that was labelled as coming soon!)

I am just starting out on NetGalley and this was exactly what I needed! It is a great resource for anyone on NetGalley from those just starting out like myself. Or those who have been looking for tips and tricks! This has a ton of information like how to write a review and how to utilize the NetGalley Shelf App. I am grateful to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for this opportunity.

This is a very useful guide! I have been reviewing on NetGalley for a few years, but there were some good reminders, as well as some new information (or things I had possibly forgotten). I really liked the graphics and the formatting. It presented information into useful and well-organized chunks. Thank you for being so helpful and support to galley readers, NetGalley. :-)

A really user friendly guide on how to use NetGalley and write reviews! I wish this was here years ago when I first started using NetGalley and messed up my profile.

As a new NetGalley user, I found this guide to be incredibly helpful. I have been in the online review community for a few years now but have never taken it seriously. As I learned more about the community, I quickly discovered it's one I always want to be a part of and grow in. This guide will help me take my book reviews to the next level and offer the best for my audience. I'm now striving for an orange pencil next to my reviews ;).

This is a useful if very brief guide to how to use NetGalley. Nicely designed. I don’t have a great deal to say about it other than that.
