This is a great tool for both those who are new to the review community and long term members for a refresh. It gives nice ideas on how to build your following and keeping your reviews relevant.
I will be popping back to this guide regularly.

Answers all my questions and will definitely use as a guide to go back to. I like that it gives many examples as well.

Good and solid guide for people new to NetGalley or reviewing in general. Can also be used as guideline for other ARC/DRC/ALC distribution services, as a good amount of the tips shared are universally applicable.

For veterans it holds a few reminders, some of us tend to forget (such as: update your profile every couple of months) about.

Some advice, on the other hand, is debatable, such as: write a summary. Yes, if you publish a review somewhere where no blurb or summary of any kind is available, that makes sense, but it absolutely doesn't if you publish it on sites where that info is readily available. As more and more reviewers seemingly also use AI to let it write reviews for them (what I - and authors - think of that ... take a stab in the dark), I am more and more gravitating towards: write only content summaries when absolutely necessary, as those rise suspicion in this day and age. Besides, no one wants to read a two page review that contains of 2 pages minus 2 lines summary and 2 lines of opinion. Which is what a lot of long-ish reviews are like (even the - very few - non-AI ones). No one needs those. The emphasis and strong point of a review should always be the reviewers opinion, clearly explained and put on a solid foundation (not just: I didn't like/did like but also why or why not). I wish this would have got pointed out a bit more strongly.

I found the design a bit "TikToky" or PowerPoint presentation like. Not my favourite, but that's a personal preference. I prefer a short, well-written text without much faffing about aside of it (all that graphics stuff - not a fan).

All in all: solid guide.

Very helpful will take everything into consideration for my future reviews! Thanks again NetGalley Staff!
