This toolkit gives great tips, tricks, and advice for NetGalley readers learning to navigate the website for the first time. As a new member, I found this book very helpful and easy to learn. Some of those book review tips were great and I made sure to write them down to remember later! The review example was also extremely helpful too!
I highly recommend all new NetGalley members take the time and read this book. I promise it will make your NetGalley experience that much better!

This was so helpful! I am new to NetGalley, and this gave me detailed, step by step guides as to how to get the most out of my experience. All easily digestible with cute graphics. Highly recommend starting here.

Ok, this book is super helpful and I regret not reading it sooner! As a crash-course guide to book reviews, you’ll learn the ins and outs of writing a review and raising your feedback percentage, and you’ll also get a lot of useful tidbits on creating your own review voice and what appeals to followers. Not only that, but I expected page after page of a textbook like manual but nope! What you’ll get is quick and easy to follow instructions with colorful graphics that are clear and concise. This guide will only take you a few minutes to read, but you’ll gain a ton of valuable insight

I felt this book was extremely helpful with explaining how to set up my account, write a review, and help strengthen my profile. It also explained how the program altogether. I have been reviewing books on Netgalley since 2019 and I learned quite a bit from this toolkit.

Thanks NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this guide!

I recommend this to all new NetGalley users. Helped me tremendously when learning to write good reviews and updating my profile.

This short tutorial to NetGalley's main site was helpful for those just starting out with the platform. It contained helpful links to forms and gave examples of key features like your bio and a review.

As a longtime user who has more in-depth questions, I felt it was lacking a little. For example, what profile type is a freelance editor? Do books received via email from publishers count toward your feedback ratio if you don't complete it?

All in all, this is a helpful guide for newbies or those with simple beginner questions.

This book was amazing. It gave the tools to understand NetGalley and what is expected. It tells the reader about their profile, what a publisher looks for, how to do a review, etc. I wish I had read this sooner.

Very usefull! I would probably be in the unknown without this on NetGalley. I think this title should be give to new user and be use as introduction to the website.

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the Book Advocate Toolkit! As a Bookstagrammer, it’s incredibly helpful to have clear tips and resources that make it easier to promote books thoughtfully and effectively. The guidance on writing reviews, sharing on social media, and being a supportive part of the book community really resonated with me.

It’s clear that a lot of care went into creating something that helps readers feel confident and creative in their advocacy—and I’m already putting some of it into practice. Thank you for making this available and for supporting reviewers like me!
