This was a great toolkit and answered a lingering question I had about not finishing a book but reading enough of it to be able to leave a review.

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.

The manual on what to do when you enter the world of NetGalley is a very useful and didactic tool that explains step by step all the resources provided by this platform and gives accessible and simple answers on how to use it. I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to enter the literary world prior to publication.

I loved this guide so much! It’s a perfect introduction into the bookstagram world. I say bookstagram just because that’s what I most prefer for connecting with authors. But really it’s great insight into the world of book reviewing and hyping up authors.

This Toolkit helped me know where to start when browsing and requesting titles, and it provided clear guidance for structure and content in a good review. I am a new reviewer on NetGalley, so this Toolkit gave a good insight into the norms of this platform. The format and aesthetic were easy to read and kept me engaged, especially with the many helpful tips sprinkled throughout. I appreciate that they put direct links I could press to take me to their suggested resources for more details on a particular area of the process.

I am excited to incorporate what I learned as I start reviewing, and I recommend anyone new to this space read over the Toolkit

The Book Advocate Toolkit from NetGalley is an invaluable resource for both new and seasoned users. I'm glad that I found this right at the beginning while I'm working on setting up my profile. This book really helped me understand what publishers are looking for and how I can best engage with the platform, and made all of the features of the site very clear and accessable.

This was a very helpful guide! I have been hearing a lot about NetGalley through my book club's Discord page and was curious regarding what it was all about. Once I signed up, this guide was the perfect way to familiarize myself with the website and app. Now, I can get started on requesting books!
