I greatly appreciated the information about setting up a NetGalley profile.

Whether you're new to NetGalley or have been using it for a while, this guide is an incredibly helpful resource. It’s well-organized and packed with useful tips to enhance your experience, from optimizing your profile to writing stronger reviews.

I found the section on the NetGalley Shelf app particularly useful, and the review tips helped me refine how I approach feedback. The guide also clarified things I hadn’t fully understood before—like the meaning behind the orange or green pencil next to some reviews.

One of the most valuable insights was learning more about what publishers look for when granting access to ARCs. The DNF chart is useful in deciding when to use the "will not give feedback" option.

Overall, this is a useful resource for Netgalley book advocates.

As someone just starting on their book review journey, I appreciate resources such as this one that NetGalley has provided to its users. The guide in particular lays the groundwork for all types of members to understand NetGalley's ecosystem. I found the the following pages very helpful:

Very helpful tool for writing reviews!

I often don’t know where to start or write in a stream of consciousness type way- so this helped give me a guideline to follow.

Very detailed overview. Please do not leave your settings on dark mode as it may make the text unreadable.

Definitely an amazing and useful tool, and I stumbled across it at the perfect time - just as I was trying to do research on a proper way of writing reviews. Being a new reader, and excited to read more and more as I go, this toolkit was perfect for not only someone like me - a new reader - but also a long time reader/reviewer as well!

this was honestly sooo helpful! I started Netgalley last year and I've been looking for ways to grow my profile!! thanks for the help, netgalley!

Really appreciate NetGalley putting this toolkit together and making it available! It's wonderful to have all these tips in one place and I definitely learned a couple of new things.

Thank you NetGalley for the Book Advocate Toolkit. I am glad I read this as it explains so much. Going to make a few changes in my bio.

This Book Advocate Toolkit really came in handy when I had questions about how to navigate NetGalley as a new user. I will continue to revisit this resource in order to become a better reviewer for publishers!

This Book Advocate Toolkit was very informative and extremely helpful for the beginners, like myself, on NetGalley that are just starting out with reviewing! It detailed exactly how to make the most of the site and provided clear instructions on what to do, how to grow and become a better reviewer! The guide was very insightful and used easy to follow tips and the graphics made it all the more engaging for me! I learned a lot and I’m hoping to put it to good use!

This is such a beautifully composed guide to Netgalley. It was easy to follow along and gain tips for every aspect of the site. Appealing visuals, helpful links, and how it was organized, all led to a comprehensive guide that I took many tips from. If you are new to Netgalley, this is a must read.

This guide was super helpful and interactive! I really appreciated the different layouts that kept things engaging. That being said, I do wish I had read the first 10 pages before creating my account, as they would have been incredibly useful beforehand—but hey, better late than never!

The "Book Reviews" section was particularly interesting. As someone who already has their own system for writing reviews, revisiting the basics actually got me excited to refine my approach and structure my thoughts more effectively. And I have to give a special shoutout to the "How to DNF" guide—it was such a nice touch! DNF-ing is always a tricky subject, but this breakdown was clear, concise, and easy to follow.

Overall, this is definitely a resource I’ll be coming back to often as I embark on my journey as a NetGalley reviewer!
