I want this in paperback:( What a blessing this has been. I have been a reviewer for 2-3 years now, maybe longer, i haven't kept track. I still feel like a newbie doing things the wrong way, incomplete etc. The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is helping me little by little to improve. Thank you for thinking of us beginners as well as those in the know. What a huge help! Wish I had this from the beginning! Even though I am not a blogger I am an avid reader reviewer an this provides tips across the board, different sites, different scenarios. Well done!

New Reviewer and NetGalley user here!

I found out about NetGalley a few months ago and had no idea where to start, I requested an ARC and was the immediately approved. I unfortunately, didn't really understand how this process worked nor did I think about the implications of not leaving a review when I was one of the selected readers.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit well, is very informative and delivered the perfect amount of clarification on the entire process.
This toolkit helped me revamp my bio, helped me understand the process of writing a review as well as offered many tips, tricks and links to other resources that I will find useful in the future.

I plan to keep this toolkit it in my phone to review whenever I need a refresher!

Bonus: The digital the presentation of this toolkit was very beautiful!

This toolkit provides a new NetGalley user with everything they need to start their journey, but in a way that is not overwhelming. It is very well laid out, with the perfect balance of examples and information to support users in setting up and beginning to use the platform. Without this book I would have muddled through beginning to use the platform, but instead I now feed prepared and excited to start my journey here.

Good but largely just regurgitates points in the other toolkit, was hoping this would be focused on disability advocacy in giving reviews or advocacy in general

This was incredibly helpful to me putting my profile together as a new reviewer and figuring out my ideal strategy for reviewing all ARCs/books that I receive in a considerate and thoughtful manner. I plan on using these tips and tricks moving forward as I work on reviewing the books that I've received on NetGalley so far! Thank you again for taking the time to put together a toolkit of this manner.
