Thank you NetGalley for giving a comprehensive and thoughtful guide for those who are starting out reviewing. This was well structured, easy to follow and demonstrated the main reviewing and feedback ratio objectives that reviewers should have.

It is a helpful 'know how' for anyone starting out their journey on this platform.

This was a really helpful collection of tips to read, some of these were ones that I hadn't considered before and I would recommend this to anyone who is new to Netgalley and even those who have been on here for a while

Great book with such helpful tips and tricks to make your profile and reviews better than before.

It was a super easy to follow book that is packed with helpful information and I really have taken some new things I’ve learned and will start applying them to my reviews for sure.

Definitely read this Book Advocate Toolkit if you are new to NetGalley or writing book reviews in general. It is informative, helpful, and a great place to start your ARC journey.

Used this to set up a dedicated bookstagram and will be referring back to this when creating content for booktok and bookstagram

Thanks to Netgalley for providing the free copy in return for an honest review.

There's a lot of simple advice in here, but like all simple advice, it's only simple if you already knew it, and a lot of the things in here, are not things that new reviewers would know, certainly not even me, and I've been reviewing things for a few years now.

Whether you're a beginner or veteran reviewer, there'll be things in here that can help you improve how you do things, well recommended.

Definitely read this if you’re just starting out on NetGalley. There are a lot of helpful tips in a really easy way to read and understand. I think the social media section was especially helpful because it was broken down by platform and specific to what information publishers will be looking for. It’s a quick read too.

Great book covering ways you can promote the books you really enjoyed on different social media sites. It's a good place to start for those new to NetGalley or promoting books.

Thank you for the tips. I want to excel in the book review world and I think this will help. Very clearly written out and organised.

It was interesting, and I definitely learned some things from it (like scheduling a review day! I'm definitely going to be trying that).
Although I found the general tips too general — anyone who has been using NetGalley for long enough will have read them before.
My favourite part were the book review tips. I was hoping to get more like that.

I just reviewed NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish. #BookAdvocateToolkit #NetGalley So helpful! I wish I had read this before I wrote my first review.

An incredibly helpful guide for navigating the request and review processes on the Netgalley platform.

As I read and write voraciously, I discovered Net Galley’s guide to writing reviews when I signed up to read and review advanced copies of new authors and their latest works or just simply know what new books are coming out soon. I highly recommend this book be a part of any book reviewer’s toolkit. I am new to the Net Galley platform, and I continue to use this book to guide me when sending reviews to Net Galley, publishers, or retailers. It is a valuable resource for anyone wishing to start a small book review freelance gig, or for those of us who just simply enjoy reading new authors in genres we love. A solid four-star guidebook. Thank you to Net Galley for the digital copy. This opinion is entirely my own.

This in-depth guide to all things NetGalley was so informative. This seriously answered any questions I might have, not only about NetGalley but about book content creation as well. This was so incredibly helpful and I am so grateful for NetGalley for providing this for us.
