3.5 stars. I learned a few smaller things I didn't already know, but this is really most appropriate for new reviewers, or reviewers new to NetGalley.

This is a great tool and reference guide for people that give reviews and want to request ARCs on NetGalley. It's perfect because it shows you exactly how to request books and how to provide feedback. All the do's and don'ts of participating in NetGalley. I would definitely refer any of my bookish friends, that are interested in starting with NetGalley, to this Book Advocate Toolkit.

I love this expanded guide! The examples for things to include in your profile bio are super helpful, especially for a newer NetGalley user. I'm excited for the social media guide that they have coming, as that was the piece I liked most about the original guide!

As someone who’s relatively new to NetGalley, I have no context on whether or not things have significantly different from earlier versions of this document. I thought it was a very solid list of tips and recommendations for navigating the site on the whole and how to format a review. Nothing revolutionary or that majorly changed my usage patterns, but I’m sure it would have been very helpful before I got started originally.

Thank you. This was useful. I have been a member for many years but it’s good to be reminded of certain tools that I don’t use on a regular basis and of new features.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit has been extremely helpfull. I used the tips within to update my profile page. I have been using NetGalley since 2016, so you could say I should know it all. However, I was still able to learn a few things by reading this. So if you are new to NetGalley or you are an old pro, you can still find some useful tips within this resource. Definitely pick it up if you are a NetGalley Member.
