Very useful toolkit that had some wonderful information on how to properly use Netgalley. Will be applying some of the tips going forward on my profile and I really appreciate the section about the "will not give feedback" button when dealing with a book you didn't get the chance to download. I love the overall style of how the information is presented, it is quick, concise and gets straight to the point, very helpful!.

Thank you Netgalley for taking the time to create these kits!

This is great tool, especially for people new to #NetGalley. I've been a member for about 3 years so I learned by trial and error.

This was a wonderful guide for new or even older users of NetGalley to learn how to navigate the site. It was long enough to explain everything but short enough to read quickly.

It's a very informative guide to the basics of how NetGalley works. The graphics are engaging and the information is succinct without feeling like it's lacking.

This is a great tool for all NetGalley members. Because I have been writing reviews on here for awhile, it sometimes feels monotonous. I was happy to read the refresher for publisher expectations. NetGalley is my primary source for reading material. Thank you for giving the at home book reviewer these amazing opportunities.

This is a well laid out guide for NetGalley users, whether you’re new to the site or have been using it a while. I wish I’d had this when starting out! It’s full of helpful tips to improve your NetGalley experience, as well as links to more comprehensive articles.
There’s a guide to using the NetGalley Shelf app, and lots of great tips for improving your profile.

I also now know what the orange pencil next to some of my reviews means (and it’s something really cool!).

This guide helped make my bio and reviews more thorough and interesting. It gave me a better understanding how to navigate the website as well as what the publishers and authors are looking for. The most helpful part (besides review tips) was the chart regarding DNF’ing a book. It helped me understand when to use the “will not give feedback” feature.
