This is a very helpful booklet to read when one is just getting started on netgalley. It is especially helpful for writing reviews, even including an annotated example. I will definitely be referring back to this throughout my time on netgalley.

After going through NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit, I updated my profile to better showcase my personality. The PDF was really insightful, as it clarified what publishers look for when granting access to advanced copies, both digital and audio. I recommend it to anyone looking to become a stronger book advocate.

Fantastic little book of information. I especially liked that the booklet had information about how to write reviews. It could have more explanations and details on that, as I know a lot of people, including myself, who don't feel confident with their review. Either way, it was supurbly done, and I look forward to putting some of those lessons that I learnt to action with some reviews. I figure now is a good start.
Great written voice, and the writing is clear and easy to understand making it a quick and reliable read. Would recommend it to new NetGalley friends.

This is something I didn't think I needed but now it's the the best Netgalley toolkits I've seen.
Full of tips and explanations and how to better write your reviews.
I will for sure use this toolkit everytime I write a new review from now on

I was excited to see that an update the Netgalley's book advocate toolkit was available! This is filled to the brim with useful info and great direction for any Netgalley member,

This was a perfect reminder to everything NetGalley. Having been a member of NetGalley for years, I really loved giving this a read and finding out some tips and tricks to update my profile.

This 2024 version of the NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is the updated we needed and that I wish I had back in 2010 when I started this account! What I love most is how it goes in depth about practically everything so that you can make NetGalley work best for you! Bravo, Netgalley team!

This is AMAZING for a reviewer. Thank you so much for providing us with such detailed information so we can pass along the best possible reviews for both authors and potential readers. <3

This is a must read for anyone serious about reading through NetGalley.

Appealingly laid out, with a comprehensive information and easily do-able suggestions, this was great; it goes into a lot and covers so much so much of what new-to-NetGalley users are facing and has tons of useful information even for NG readers of years.

This is a great reference tool for beginners or anyone needing a refresher on different aspects of NetGalley or requesting books from publishers.

The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a clear, accessible guide to being the best Netgalley reviewer a reader can be. From how to set out the profiles to the process of getting approved and cautionary tales of request sprees, this book provides everything a reviewer needs to get started. Need help writing your review? This guide can give you some pointers here, too.

Clearly laid out, with bold infographics and easily-digestible text, this is an essential guide for new reviewers and a great refresher for experienced book advocates.

~ Many thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review~

Super helpful. I always appreciate guidelines to help me flourish. Thanks, Netgalley, for this guide.

Very informative, while I joined NetGalley earlier this year, this toolkit helped me understand the website and processes a lot more. I appreciated the info on DNFing books and the advice throughout the toolkit. It was also fun and easy to navigate.

This toolkit was sent to me to read and review by NetGalley. It will help me so much to write my review correctly and help the authors, publishers and people like me who just love to read. I took screenshots of the three pages I needed so I can refer to them the next time I need to review a novel.

This is so helpful, especially to new members! And even as an existing member, I still found some new tips and tricks to help me as well. I can't wait for the social media section when it comes out!!! As someone who loves reviewing and being active in the bookish community, I think it will be super insightful for new and fresh ways to rave and build hype for new books. Thank you so much to the Netgalley team for creating such useful tools! It really shows how much y'all care about your members.

Thank you, NetGalley for this toolkit! The NetGalley's updated advocate toolkit is user-friendly and has a beautiful concept and layout! I found this toolkit extremely helpful with easy-to-understand examples of how to update your profile which I did go and do! It even went through how to set up your devices and navigate NetGalley which can be tricky at first. I highly recommend you download this toolkit if you are just beginning or if you need a refresher on how to be most successful using this platform!

I am learning through this toolkit it is important to not request everything unless you can keep up with your feedback because it does affect your ratio! The ratio is significant because it tells the publisher how likely you are going to rate and review the book you are requesting. I think the section describing how to give the best reviews was explained well and gave great examples of what works and what doesn't. I definitely will keep in mind for the future, who I am recommending this book for and being unique in my reviews.

Overall, I am impressed with this toolkit and would highly recommend this to others getting into NetGalley! I am also very excited to see that coming soon, NetGalley is offering a kit called NetGalley's Social Media Toolkit! I think this will be very helpful, for those using Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to review books!

I really enjoyed reading this toolkit and learning how to elevate my profile and reviewer status. I learned a lot of new things and I’m excited to utilize these skills! Since I have updated my profile, I have been already invited to read a debut psych thriller! ( my favorite!)
Thank you for taking the time to break things down for me.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is very helpful! A handy resource for NetGalley book reviewers for sure!

This was super helpful and accessible for my broader understanding of the NetGalley website and its inner workings. I updated my profile according to some of the advice given in this toolkit to be more professional and less personal, as well as adding some of my favorite authors to read and recommend. It was very helpful to get an understanding of what publishers are looking for when they are approving ARCs for people, since I previously kind of thought it was up to chance...I plan to refer to this with any questions I stumble across in my NetGalley journey!

Glad to see that this guide is being updated regularly and sticks to a nice structure besides the practical info! This guide contained many useful details about using the NetGalley Shelf app, how the website is being structured and so on, besides the usual advice related to creating a nice profile and reviewing.
