Very handy guide to NetGalley! It really helped me understand what I should include in my profile and the best way to layout reviews. Some of the info was pretty self explanatory but overall a helpful compilation.

Generally very informative, but quite basic. A lot of the information given is fairly self-explanatory and I feel that the bigger issues that I've faced as a Book Advocate aren't covered here, or in the support sections of the website.

I would also say that some sections (particularly the beginning) come across as quite condescending and patronising.

This is such a helpful Toolkit to begin your journey on NetGalley. It covers everything you need to know about setting up your profile up to becoming an established book advocate. It is definitely a must read before you start requesting and reviewing books. I am glad that I will always have access to it on my shelf. So that I can go back to it whenever I need a reminder!

I've been a part of NetGalley for a good while and would like to see how to improve my chances. Hopefully the tips will help my profile. This was also so nicely designed.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a great resource for anyone who is new to reviewing ARC's on NetGalley. I learned a lot throughout this short book on how to properly review ARC's. It was incredibly insightful and I am thankful the resource was provided. Thank you for making this available for reviewers.

I wish I had read this sooner! I think this is a crucial handbook for any new Netgalley members. It explains how ARCs work and how to use Netgalley to your best advantage. I also love that it provides actionable tips on writing reviews and when to post them. Not only is it meant to hand-hold any new member in setting up their profile, but it also serves as a useful guide to get answers to common questions that arise even after a member becomes more seasoned in ARC reviewing and Netgalley as a whole.
Thank you so much to the team for providing this!

This was a concise and easy to follow guide on using NetGalley as a beginner. I really liked the walk through of the site, reviewing, and tips on writing a useful book review for other readers and the publisher. It also gives you a headstart on reading via the NetGalley Shelf app - which is how you'll access books in the future. Definitely would recommend to all beginners + anyone who needs a refresher on review writing tips.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a great resource for helping write your reviews.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit

I’m so happy that I downloaded this colorful, image-packed guide. It’s definitely a great resource for exploring NetGalley and using it to the fullest.
I love that the toolkit includes links to articles at the We Are Bookish blog that explain certain aspects in even more depth. Likewise for the section on “Tips, Tricks, and Tools” (page 29) that points out the many great NetGallery features such as casting a vote for covers that appeal to me (Cover Love) and the link to the Publishing Glossary so I can get familiar with “common publishing industry lingo” that I may not have run across before.

One example of that lingo is DNF. Although I am a bookworm, I was not familiar with this abbreviation, which means Did Not Finish, so the explanation and instructions on what to do if I find myself DNFing were most valuable.

The main reason I downloaded this short book was to read the information on writing a review. The advice given on that topic was invaluable and has sent me on my way to become a better book reviewer.

I know I’ll head back often to this short, well-written volume of advice and facts.

Thank you, We Are Bookish!

This was an excellent summary of how to request and review books on Netgalley. I had seen this linked to as a resource from a different site, but would recommend it for anyone starting out on here. There were a few tips that I gleaned even after reviewing books for some time now. Honestly, making this guide more prominent for new users will only enhance their experience, especially after viewing the flowcharts and definitions. I'm grateful for the advice provided and appreciate how Netgalley has made this a positive reviewing site.

This Book Advocate Toolkit gives a really great overview of NetGalley's features, how to set up and improve your profile, and how to write a good review. I really enjoyed this Toolkit as it delivered the information in a simple, easy to follow way and was very visually appealing while giving great advice. If you're new to NetGalley, this is definitely worth reading!

A must read for anyone wanting to streamline and needing tips with anything and everything on Netgalley!

During 31 pages, we are taken through the whole process from creating your bio to navigating the site to how to write a compelling review. We Are Bookish have put together information in an easily understandable way.

I followed the steps throughout reading and feel now, that my profile is more appealing.

Thankyou Netgalley and We Are Bookish for this free eArc.
