I found this resource on NetGalley after completing a few reviews. The layout and information in this guide was easy to ingest and was helpful. It has been a month since I built my profile, and there were several areas it inspired me to go refresh. I am interested in future toolkits they will be providing.

The revised edition of The Book Advocate Toolkit, which I have found to be user-friendly and easy to comprehend, is now available. The layout, which is both simple and bright, caters to readers of all kinds and is abundant in advice and suggestions. Throughout my years as a book reviewer, I have consistently relied on these toolkits to ensure my profile's ongoing relevance and to refresh my knowledge of NG new functions.

Whether you are new to NetGalley or an experienced user, this toolkit is useful for future reference!

This toolkit pretty much breaks it down one step at a time for a well balanced Netgalley account with management. It had information on profile, how to reviews, and how to manage requests. I think even a seasoned netgalley member would appreciate this toolkit with refreshers and tips.

A great little refresher course for oldies and for new reviewers lots of helpful hints. The graphics and explanations are very helpful. I also like the different type of reviewers. I’m an educator and I signed up as a reviewer, not knowing the different categories. It does have it perks but also some downfalls. Some publishers will only allow “wish for it” and not request for their books. This makes me sad as I am an educator, but also read for myself
