A direct yet interesting guide to the ins and outs of Netgalley. With engaging graphics and easy to grasp explanations, this guidebook is a step towards the right direction in informing the users of the site of its functions.

This was a super cute, concise, and informative little toolkit. I've been reviewing things for years, and I have my own method. I wasnt necessarily looking for tips in that area. That doesn't mean this wasn't incredibly useful, though! It gave me a lot of insight in to how NetGalley works and the best ways to navigate it's various resources. I especially appreciated the way they emphasize the importance of a clear and professional profile, and the little things that publishers are looking for. All of the quick little Do's and Dont's about writing a bio and all the reviews was also helpful.

This was a great quick guide to NetGalley!! I liked the sample profile and review sections and the tips an out what to include!

Even though I have been reviewing for a few years, I appreciated the tips on where to find specific publisher approval requests, as well as suggestions for keeping my profile up-to-date!

This was a very helpful digital toolkit for getting started with NetGalley! Tips about navigating the website, what publishers are looking for, filling out your profile, and writing reviews. I'm glad that NetGalley has this resource for reviewers to use.

This looks great! I am already a user of NetGalley for a couple of years but I'm sure I can learn something from all the information in this document!

How great it is to be able to get tips directly here on NetGalley instead of searching everywhere or combing through FAQs! The information is succinct, to the point, and full of great tips. It's a bonus that you can try reviewing a book by giving feedback to the toolkit.

This was a surprisingly helpful guide to NetGalley. A little more in depth than the kind of click-through tutorial you might find on a typical digital platform, but not so dense that it wasn't worth the effort of a read-through. Very useful for fine tuning my user profile, in particular.

The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is a concise and practical resource for anyone looking to enhance their book reviewing skills and connect more effectively with publishers. I appreciated the clear, actionable tips on how to articulate your interests to publishers. The section on writing effective reviews is equally valuable, offering guidance on crafting feedback that is both constructive and engaging. I am looking forward to the extended edition, which promises to include a social media toolkit.

Overall, I recommend this guide to new book reviewers who are serious about providing useful feedback to publishers and authors via NetGalley.

Really helpful for folks starting out on Netgalley, and was a good primer on how to upkeep the profile and reviews.

A very helpful, step-by-step guide on how to leave a review of a book/audiobook. This toolkit could also benefit students that have to write reviews.

Such a great tool to help make the most of my NetGalley experience and reviews. Highly recommend to NetGalley users!

Thank you! This was very informative. The extra links were especially helpful. The infographic style made it easy to navigate and find answers.

I absolutely adore everything We Are Bookish creates! The resources for readers are truly invaluable. I had previously gone through the Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet and really enjoyed that and this was no different. First, I love the overall design of this toolkit. It is cute, engaging, and overall pleasing to the eye! Sometimes when I go through courses where they are almost too simple, I quickly get bored! I can appreciate the fact every page is different. It kept me engaged and made me excited to keep going through it! Also, the fact we get 31 pages of good and helpful content is amazing! NetGalley can be kind of intimidating at first but this really helps explain every single thing a new reader/user of NetGalley, or even an experienced reader/user, can find helpful! I have had followers of mine reach out for tips on NetGalley before. From now on, I will 100% be recommending this! I am excited to take an even closer look at each page and hopefully learn a few new things to implement in my own strategy here!

Thank you so much, NetGalley and We Are Bookish! :)

This was informative about the workings of NetGalley and will be kept for future reference. Thank you for sharing with me.

Helpful review of how to use Netgalley. Most of it I did not find useful but I did especially like the tip to set a reminder to update my profile every couple of months. Newbies will find this toolkit particularly helpful and filled with useful tidbits. I wish I had had this when I first started using Netgalley!

Good advocate toolkit. Very helpful and very useful. Will recommend it to all those who want to grow their social media audience.

Thank you for the nice refresher. I feel inspired to edit my bio again! I always find the tips from We Are Bookish very helpful for reviews and for how to use the platform.
