There are some weird issues with the text in some places where it sort of smushes into itself or doubles up strangely. It's still mostly readable, but it's distracting and incorrect. The blue sticky note on the Feedback Ratio page and the Focus On Book Reviews page are examples of this. I'm viewing the PDF in Firefox browser for reference.

It would be useful to note how withdrawing a request or DNFing a book impacts your review ratio since this is so important. A page specifically with things NOT to do is a good idea as well to cover all the common mistakes / issues people make in one place. Examples: downloading/requesting too many books at once, not downloading a book before it's archived, not checking that you're able to read the format given, etc.

The NetGalley shelf app page should definitely have info on the expiration time when you read in there. When you start a book in the Shelf app, you only have 60 days to read it or something like that before access is gone and how to renew that. This feels like a really important note especially if a book is far in the future and you want to be able to go back to it closer to the time of publication to refresh your memory for a review, follow up post, etc and then suddenly it's gone with all the notes you may have added.

I've been on NetGalley for several years and have read a lot of the FAQ and helpdesk guide info about it so this was pretty much all familiar. This is probably a really solid resource for people just starting though, as it gives the basics of using NetGalley and what's needed for each book you download.

Man, I wish this was available when I first started but I still learned new things I will be using to improve my profile (and hopefully, my approval frequency!). I think anyone utilizing NetGalley can benefit from going through this toolkit as well as the included links. You can learn how to use the site if you are unfamiliar as well as what should and should not be in your profile. I found the link to an article discussing what she looks for when making approvals extremely helpful! Thank you NetGalley!

Another helpful resource for reviewers! As someone relatively new to NetGalley there was a lot of good information in here, particularly on improving your profile and writing more effective reviews. I'd especially recommend it to people just getting started!

This is a very informative how-to guide for someone who has just signed up with NetGalley. I enjoyed the simplicity of this. I now have a better understanding of what to expect with my time on the website.

Thank you NetGalley & We Are Bookish for providing such clear and precise content for someone who just started their reviewing journey!

Super useful guide that I wish I had had access to when I first signed up to NetGalley as it would have been so much help for when I was just starting out. Even after being on this platform for a while, it had a lot of useful information which I will keep in mind and implement for my profile.

An amazingly helpful tool for determining how to improve your reviewing experience. I was impressed with the layout and the way the suggestions flowed from one topic to the next.

This tool kit is such a great idea to help book reviews refine their skills. It has so many great ways to help improve reviews and how best to navigate the Netgalley world. I’m looking forward to the social media toolkit!

I greatly enjoyed this updated Book Advocate Toolkit. I particularly liked the reminder that I can view the publishers' approval preferences, which is something I had forgotten after all the years I've been a NetGalley Reviewer. I also learned something I hadn't been aware of before reading the new Book Advocate Toolkit: the ability to withdraw requests made in error. I liked the book review tips, and I'm looking forward to the NetGalley Social Media Toolkit.

I downloaded this toolkit after reading they have updated it. Not only the toolkit has an overview of NetGalley, but it also provides useful information for writing reviews on all major social media platforms. It gathers everything you need to know in one place to get started. As always We Are Bookish's resources are very helpful!

This was a really helpful toolkit with lots of great information about NetGalley! It had some good reminders about things like updating your profile regularly as well as tips for how to write reviews. I found it helpful that it explained how to create lists in NetGalley - now I just need to go do it 😍

This is super helpful! I really like the tips and tricks and the guide to DNFing is very informative and Weil help guide me in the future. The colours are cute and it was easy to read, with all the information in little sections and spread out making it a quick read and easy to refer back to when needed.

helpful tools and tricks to get the most out of your netgalley account. info on how to raise your rating to increase your chances of being selected for arcs.

This is a very helpful guide in getting started on netgalley and also has helpful tips. I feel the tip to utilize your lists links to organize your tbr was particularly useful. Thank you for the update.

Great intro to NetGalley and how to use the platform.
Thanks for this being succinct and informative!

This was a really helpful read. As someone who has been using Netgalley for some years now, it gave me some helpful hints that enabled me to refresh my profile but also taught me that I can look at publishers approval requirements, something I wasn’t previously aware of.

thank you netgalley for this book advocate toolkit! it was very helpful and had some great points to help newbies (like me) with reviews!

I really like the NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit. I think this toolkit is great for people newer to NetGalley and also for those that have been using NetGalley for a long time. I really found the review section useful. I think the tips included in this toolkit are very helpful.

If you’re interested in getting ARCs (advanced reader copies) of books I highly recommend this book. To access this book you will need to create a NetGalley account (which you need to do anyways to get the ARCs) - setting up an account is easy to do, but this guide highlights the ways to get the most out of your account set up as well as other tips to get approvals from publishers.

After getting a rejection on an ARC I wanted to learn more about what I could do to increase my odds of approvals. I found a lot of helpful tips in this quick 31 page guide on how to get approvals but also how to get the most of out NetGalley in general.

Definitely check this book out if you’re interested in getting ARCs successfully!

I love NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit! I’ve had a NetGalley account for about a year now and have done my best to find the right information for my profile, figure out how to review properly, and navigate challenges with books. This new toolkit gives you a succinct guide to all things NetGalley! No more looking around or guessing - this tells you exactly what you need to know and tips for being the best book advocate you can be!

Thank you NetGalley for this helpful guide to navigating the site! I love the graphics and layout of this toolkit. I look forward to checking out the Social Media Toolkit that’s coming soon too!

THANK YOU Netgalley for this revised toolkit! I enjoy your service and am always thankful for your customer service!
