Super helpful. I always appreciate guidelines to help me flourish. Thanks, Netgalley, for this guide.
Very informative, while I joined NetGalley earlier this year, this toolkit helped me understand the website and processes a lot more. I appreciated the info on DNFing books and the advice throughout the toolkit. It was also fun and easy to navigate.
This toolkit was sent to me to read and review by NetGalley. It will help me so much to write my review correctly and help the authors, publishers and people like me who just love to read. I took screenshots of the three pages I needed so I can refer to them the next time I need to review a novel.
This is so helpful, especially to new members! And even as an existing member, I still found some new tips and tricks to help me as well. I can't wait for the social media section when it comes out!!! As someone who loves reviewing and being active in the bookish community, I think it will be super insightful for new and fresh ways to rave and build hype for new books. Thank you so much to the Netgalley team for creating such useful tools! It really shows how much y'all care about your members.
Thank you, NetGalley for this toolkit! The NetGalley's updated advocate toolkit is user-friendly and has a beautiful concept and layout! I found this toolkit extremely helpful with easy-to-understand examples of how to update your profile which I did go and do! It even went through how to set up your devices and navigate NetGalley which can be tricky at first. I highly recommend you download this toolkit if you are just beginning or if you need a refresher on how to be most successful using this platform!
I am learning through this toolkit it is important to not request everything unless you can keep up with your feedback because it does affect your ratio! The ratio is significant because it tells the publisher how likely you are going to rate and review the book you are requesting. I think the section describing how to give the best reviews was explained well and gave great examples of what works and what doesn't. I definitely will keep in mind for the future, who I am recommending this book for and being unique in my reviews.
Overall, I am impressed with this toolkit and would highly recommend this to others getting into NetGalley! I am also very excited to see that coming soon, NetGalley is offering a kit called NetGalley's Social Media Toolkit! I think this will be very helpful, for those using Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to review books!

I really enjoyed reading this toolkit and learning how to elevate my profile and reviewer status. I learned a lot of new things and I’m excited to utilize these skills! Since I have updated my profile, I have been already invited to read a debut psych thriller! ( my favorite!)
Thank you for taking the time to break things down for me.
NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is very helpful! A handy resource for NetGalley book reviewers for sure!
This was super helpful and accessible for my broader understanding of the NetGalley website and its inner workings. I updated my profile according to some of the advice given in this toolkit to be more professional and less personal, as well as adding some of my favorite authors to read and recommend. It was very helpful to get an understanding of what publishers are looking for when they are approving ARCs for people, since I previously kind of thought it was up to chance...I plan to refer to this with any questions I stumble across in my NetGalley journey!
Glad to see that this guide is being updated regularly and sticks to a nice structure besides the practical info! This guide contained many useful details about using the NetGalley Shelf app, how the website is being structured and so on, besides the usual advice related to creating a nice profile and reviewing.
Fun! A lot of this I had picked up over the years but hadnt seen it all laid out in one place before. I will be changed the style of my reviews going forward.
Thank you so much Netgalley for making these guides for your users!!
This is so very helpful and exactly what I was needing.
This guide was very helpful and I enjoyed reading the revised edition. I actually edited my profile to be clearer and more concise after reading the toolkit. THE DNF flowchart was easy to understand and I will know when to use that feature in the future.
Thank you NetGalley for this information, a great resource and very comprehensive! The flow was easily understandable and helpful for future reviews or profile revisions.
This is one of the best tools out there! This toolkit is incredibly helpful, fun and informative on how to get plugged into the NetGalley community. I've been here for a bit but have been trying to learn from others over the last year. Since I am not a full-time reviewer, this has given me so much insight into how I can improve my visibility in the bookish community, how to find my voice and best ways to present interviews. I look forward to implementing some of these tools and ideas in the coming months.
What a great resource! Thank you for all the helpful tips and advice to increase my experience with NetGalley!
I love the screenshots and colors in the book. I found the information very helpful and will use as I request titles and search in Netgalley.
I enjoyed this book because there was so much detail and screenshots. I am excited about ways I can improve as a writer and a reviewer.
So helpful, thank you NetGalley for sharing this comprehensive guide - great for beginners just starting out and seasoned reviewers looking to expand their reach.
This guide is excellently structured for NetGalley users, catering to both newcomers and seasoned members. It’s a resource I would have appreciated when I began! The guide is packed with useful advice to enhance your NetGalley journey, including links to in-depth articles. Additionally, I particularly liked the tips about the profile as they helped me go back and streamline mine a little bit. It also provides a tutorial for the NetGalley Shelf app and numerous valuable suggestions for enhancing your profile.
