I have been utilizing NetGalley for a while now but this helped give insights behind NetGalley. I thankfully was able to use it to brainstorm new biography details.

A wonderful resource in helping you create the best base for being a book advocate!
This is an easy (and free) recommendation for anyone wanting to be just a little bit more bookish.

The Book Advocate Toolkit is a really helpful visual guide to navigating NetGalley's site as well as filled with tips about how to leave great reviews.

As a new user, the toolkit was invaluable as I start my book influencer journey. I especially loved the tips about how to leave good reviews when you get "review block" by sandwiching - starting with a summary and then adding deeper thoughts in the middle - this will help me craft reviews on other social platforms a well.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this tool as it really showcases how the company wants everyone to succeed in order to do what we all love - read more and share our feedback with authors and publishers!

I found the Advocate Toolkit very useful and informative. I enhanced my Profile and Bio based on its recommendations as well as gained insights on how to use the NetGalley website for the best results.

The book is aesthetically designed and thoughtfully written. The graphic/picture backgrounds, color schemes, style, and formatting doubtlessly make it a pleasure to read! The only problem I faced was that the links inside (the large arrows and underlined text) did not launch automatically from within my ‘SoftMaker FlexiPDF’ PDF reader ver 2.1.0. The corresponding URLs also weren’t displayed.

Overall, it's a great guide worthy of 5 stars! Thank you, NetGalley Team!!

A comprehensive guide on getting started on NetGallery. Even seasoned member should have a copy of this and read it occasionally, especially when it comes to updating your profile or if they feel stumped with writing a review. I really like how it was laid out. Very easy to follow and understand.

So "NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit" it the book I should have started with when I first signed up with Netgalley in 2014. Back then, Netgalley was a young site, and I was not really active. I mean, at all. I was a member in name only.

That changed late in 2022, when a GR friend recommended a book to me from Netgalley - Liar, Dreamer, Thief by Maria Dong. What a great novel, I thought, and one I would not have read otherwise. And it got me started in poking around the site, but I didn't really know how to use it. I read primarily on a Kindle at the time, and the Netgalley app was not available for my tablet. So unbeknownst to me, I couldn't read some of the books I was approved for because I couldn't figure out how to download them to read them.

I figured it out, eventually. Trial and error. I got a new tablet, an iPad this time. I finally downloaded the Netgalley app. And I finally could get the full Netgalley experience.

Had I read this book at the time, I would have saved myself a lot of heartache and grief and explanation as to why I couldn't review a book because the book was archived before I figured out the whole app thing. This and lots of other tricks and tips were clearly explained for the novice Netgalley user. As a more experienced Netgalley user, I still appreciate this book - it's a sleek, handy reference that's easy to read and remember. Nicely job to the We Are Bookish team!
