As an avid reader and reviewer, I believe it is always helpful to continue one's education and learn new things constantly. It not only helps me stay on top of trends, but it keeps my mind strong. NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit did exactly that for me: continue to learn and grow. I often write reviews, and I'm on a few author's ARC lists. I always strive to write a thoughtful, engaging review that pulls others into it. I can see where my errors and strengths are now that I've read NetGalley's Advocate Toolkit. Now, I have a list of notes to gauge my next review and continue strengthening and growing my NetGalley profile/account.
I would recommend any reader, reviewer, or professional in the book industry to read NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit to learn the website, tips & tricks, and, most importantly, build a strong profile with the tools necessary to guide you to write strong reviews. It was a very informative tool to digest, and it took no time at all to read. The knowledge you gain is well worth it.

A toolkit for advocating for books is always a good thing. This was easy to use and made using Net Galley easier and more rewarding

Thank you for the PDF and for the opportunity to be an ARC reader! I appreciate the guidance with submitting and creating reviews for readers. I'm new to reading ARCs, so I definitely needed the extra leg up!

Love these toolkits that netgalley puts out. They are a lot of fun! Love that they've added more to do and fill out

I love this, it is such a great resource to use when first start reviewing. I wish it had been available when I first started.

This is definitely a helpful guide as you are first starting out on this sight as a review. Good information to be reviewed and come back to when needed.

thumbs up. this document was very helpful. not sure what else to say about it since it is an internal guide book and not intended for distribution beyond this platform.

I think this is a great resource to let NetGalley users know how to strengthen their reviews and what to include. It did feel a bit repetitive at times, but overall very helpful and a great resource.

AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VALUABLE INFORMATION. IT WILL HELP ME TO WRITE PROPER REVIEWS AND POST TO SOCIAL MEDIA.

Useful and easy to access resources for reviewers that are new to reviewing and established.
As I discover more and more about NetGalley the more I realise how important these type of resources are.

This gave great pointers. I am looking forward to reading the updated version of this particular toolkit.

this was really helpful information for those new to netgalley - it was a little repetitive but overall will be an asset

This was super helpful and information for newbies. It was easy to follow along and helped me with creating my bio and to help find titles.

This was somewhat repetitive but overall helpful. It lays out a number of good points for getting started in reviewing, even a few I hadn't thought of before.

It's fine - want it off my shelf. Review must be at least 100 characters long. It's fine - want it off my shelf. Review must be at least 100 characters long.

This was a helpful guide for understanding how to structure reviews and what kind of feedback and information is good to include in my reviews.

This guide provided a great starting point as someone who is fairly new to formally reviewing books. It’s allowed me to be confident in sharing my opinion but also understanding what is helpful for people to see in a review.
I can see myself referring back to this guide to ensure my reviews are in check. I’d recommend all new NetGalley users check it out!

This was really helpful! Thank you for providing reviewers with this amazing resource. I’ve been reviewing books on and off for years and it was nice to have specific guidelines set out and to know what the expectation is in order to level up my book reviews.
