As someone who’s relatively new to NetGalley, I have no context on whether or not things have significantly different from earlier versions of this document. I thought it was a very solid list of tips and recommendations for navigating the site on the whole and how to format a review. Nothing revolutionary or that majorly changed my usage patterns, but I’m sure it would have been very helpful before I got started originally.
A great resource made even better! You guys are listening and providing valuable content for us to engage with as reviewers!! Honestly, I’m really impressed with the level of care you give to making this experience better and better.
Just read the updated toolkit and it's as great as ever. I now have a plan for attacking my backlist as well as improving my feedback ratio. Great job NetGalley!

I really like the updated Book Advocate Toolkit. There are so many tips and tricks contained within, in order to give reviewers the best possible chance at being approved for book requests. I enjoyed the layout and design. It has all the info one needs without overwhelming the reader with information. Thank-you NetGalley!
This was ok. It was interesting and fun.could not get the stickers. Not sure if I would download it again. But, I did check it for the activities. I am sure some found it helpful. Nice of Netgalley to provide.
Thank you. This was useful. I have been a member for many years but it’s good to be reminded of certain tools that I don’t use on a regular basis and of new features.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit has been extremely helpfull. I used the tips within to update my profile page. I have been using NetGalley since 2016, so you could say I should know it all. However, I was still able to learn a few things by reading this. So if you are new to NetGalley or you are an old pro, you can still find some useful tips within this resource. Definitely pick it up if you are a NetGalley Member.

I have been with NetGalley for several years now and I really valued this reminder of how reviews should be structured and how to best position yourself to be approved for advanced digital copies from publishers.
This is a great idea for any NetGalley user - old or new. It explains everything really well and I like that they updated it to include the newer additions. I also like that they added what to do for dnfs.
I'll definitely keep this on my shelf and hope to see even more updates to it whenever NetGalley does something great. I also like that it's nice and bright and a lot of cool designs all over that kept my attention - I'm glad it just wasn't blocks of text.
Great tips on how to get started and helps clarify the details of getting selected for an ARC. Perfect starting point for newbies to netgalley
This is a great document for those new to Net Galley and to reviewing books. It gives detailed information for how to navigate the website and how to best utilize the tools provided by Net Galley.
This toolkit is perfect for both new and old reviewers. I have been reviewing Netgalley since 2013, and this kit mentioned a few things I should be doing to keep my account relevant to publishers who may look at it before approving me for a book I have requested. I love how easy it was to click on links to get more in-depth information on interesting topics. I highly recommend this to reviewers new to NetGalley and reviewers who have been here for a few years or more.
