The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish provides very informative and easy-to-follow guides and visuals to help those new or needing a refresher to NetGalley's usage. The visuals were very clean and professional. Many links were included to helpful articles and resources to the different user types that may use NetGalley. As a new member myself, this toolkit helped me build and structure my profile in such a way that I feel confident in future success as a book influencer and reviewer with NetGalley and my Bookstagram. I highly recommend new members of NetGalley to download this free toolkit to help them quickly learn the ins and outs of the site and to succeed in accomplishing their goals with the site.

Quick read with easy to follow instructions!
Would have liked a bit more detail on actual links to share for example Goodreads, but it was great information all the same.
I also loved the graphic design, it made everything easy to read and understand.

As a new member of the NetGalley community, this was another helpful read! The toolkit succinctly explains how NetGalley works in a way that is easy to understand. It helped me understand how I can increase approvals from publishers and what exactly they are looking for. Providing Do's and Don'ts when starting out was also super helpful, especially knowing to not go crazy with the book requests as it may come back to bite you later on. I will definitely come back to this later on for a refresh when needed!

Thank you for this informative guide as I am new to reviewing and book social media!
This will be a go to for me every time I write a review and share a book on socials. I look forward to being able to grow a platform and connect with readers and authors!

This toolkit helped me write my profile and how to write a review. It gives a detailed description of the features available on Netgalley and a great guide for newcomers.

Great toolkit to use for a book advocate! I will definitely be looking to incorporate things from this

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is one to go through! Though I've used the app sometime before, this really helped me better use it, add information to my profile that would matter and many more. I feel like I'm able to better navigate this place with the help of this. Definitely recommend to someone who's just starting out with NetGalley!

This toolkit is like your trusty life jacket — packed with practical advice and handy tips to help you navigate bookish content.
From setting up a member profile to keeping your feedback ratio in check (because yes, that really matters), this guide covers all the basics and then some. What I really liked is the section on reviews — especially those awkward “critical” ones we all dread writing. It offers solid, straightforward tips that make the whole process less intimidating and way more doable.
If you want to get the most out of your NetGalley experience without the guesswork, this toolkit is a good, easy read that delivers practical info without the fluff. Definitely worth a download!
Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish.

This is a useful tool. It helps me keep on pace with the reviews I do. When I find myself reading 5 to 7 books at a time, I need a tool to help keep it all together.

This was a helpful overview. It inspired me to update my profile and leave this review for this book to improve my Feedback Ratio. Reviewers should keep their Feedback Ratio above 80% because publishers consider that when providing ARCs. The explanation of "Read Now" vs. "Request" was also useful. It also explains how to withdraw a request.
This book/toolkit is very graphics heavy, which made it visually attractive, but I think it would have been easier to read if it had just been written like a normal book or simply as a webpage.

This toolkit is super helpful! It's is a must read for everyone using NetGalley or if you are interested in book reviewing.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a great introduction to NetGalley's platform for new users like myself!
I've revisited it multiple times to reference different topics, and will continue checking it every time I write a review. The book review section is really invaluable.
Overall, it's a handy reference guide that makes navigating and utilizing NetGalley far less daunting.
