NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is an outstanding resource for anyone starting on NetGalley or as a refresher for seasoned users. This guide is packed with valuable information that makes navigating the NetGalley platform much more straightforward and boosts confidence in using its features.

As the organizer of NetGalley November—a month-long event on my BookTube channel focused on reading NetGalley ARCs—this toolkit has been invaluable. It’s become my go-to resource for introducing newcomers to NetGalley, helping me confidently answer questions, and offering others the knowledge they need to start their own NetGalley journeys.

Thank you to NetGalley, and We Are Bookish for providing this practical, daily resource for the community!

Thanks for this book. It was a well laid out and easy to follow book. The tips were great. It really helps to know what publishers are looking for. I have now made some changes and found that I am definitely getting more approvals. It would have been helpful to have had this a while ago when I first began to do reviews for NetGalley. I recommend that anyone starting off on their reviewer journey start with this book. It will get you started on the right foot.

This is a helpful guide for new NetGalley users to become acclimated to the process of book requesting and reviewing. The PDF was helpful to develop an understanding of what the publishers may be looking for when selecting reviewers and how to adapt your profile to match their needs. They also provide a simple formula for crafting reviews if the reader is new to the process of writing. Would recommend to anyone getting started with reviewing through NetGalley!

The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a basic synopsis of exactly how to get started and how to write the most helpful reviews.

As someone new to the site, it was extremely helpful overall, but I particularly loved the examples of profiles and reviews. I definitely feel like I have a better handle on how to utilize Net Galley.

Overall, I recommend that everyone read this resource prior to getting started. Thank you to NetGalley for providing this resource. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to NetGalley for this copy of "NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit."

I appreciated this resource and will keep it handy for reference. There was so much valuable information that will be very helpful for both beginners and old-timers alike.

The layout was great and the graphics were so eye-catching.

For some possible improvements, the links didn't open when reading in Kindle which makes the document hard to use.

The links do work fine from the NetGalley shelf, though.

This is a very logically organized resource guide for readers to hone their reviewing and promotional skills whether new to book reviewing or well seasoned in their efforts. I only wish that it was available on Adobe Digital Editions rather than simple PDF.
