As a new user, this Book Advocate Toolkit helped me grasp exactly what was expected of me and how I could better utilise the resources this website offers.

Another great guide explaining how to set yourself up for success with NetGalley. This is particularly useful in understanding how to get approved for book requests. I love that these little guides are interactive and come with links to further resources. Also, the tips on how to write reviews were great! Thank you to the NetGalley team for providing such a useful resource.

This was a very helpful resource that I will definitely be returning to as I move forward in my book reviewing journey!

One of the things that make NetGalley stand out are the various resources that help book reviewers and book lovers succeed in their journey! And this Toolkit is one of the resources! It condenses all the information you would find online in this helpful toolkit, which feels like a guide. It's something to definitely go back to as a refresher and just beneficial to have on your NetGalley App. I really appreciate the helpful tips and examples to help strengthen my book reviews so publishers can see my work. Also, it even touches on the subject of DNFing a book. Which can be a touchy subject as a book reviewer, but a much-needed conversation. I'm grateful NetGalley's Instagram shared about this resource. Also, thank you We Are Bookish for taking the time to create this!

Thank you for creating this. it was very informative. Look forward to the next toolkit and its contents

This type of publication is so very helpful to both new and seasoned reviewers. I appreciate that you make this information available on Net Galley.

NetGalley, what would I do without you?! This was an extremely helpful guide and I have found myself going back to it repeatedly to reference a specific tip or set of instructions.

Everyone starting out on NetGalley needs to snatch this up, absorb it, and never delete it from their files. Thank you so much!!

This was such a helpful and engaging read! It’s made for beginners, and it totally delivers on that—walking you through the basics of NetGalley and how to become a solid reviewer. I read the PDF and honestly loved the layout. It felt like reading a fun, colorful magazine (in the best way).
The "Book Reviews" section was my favorite, especially the tips on how to write reviews. It really breaks down what publishers are looking for and how to write something helpful. Some of the basic stuff felt like common sense to me, but I get why it’s there—it’s meant to be a starting point.
If you're just getting into NetGalley or bookish social media, this is a great intro. Whether you’re a librarian, bookseller, educator, or just someone who wants to start reviewing, this toolkit has you covered.

This was a very helpful guide as I was considering how to expand and develop my presence on NetGalley. I enjoyed the graphics, they were engaging and informative.

Fabulous toolkit that I'm sure will improve my experience and my reviews! Thank you NetGalley for offering this invaluable resource to make this platform much better for everyone!

I just found all of these tools to help improve my reviews, and I'm looking forward to diving in. Thank you for this toolkit to help improve my reviews!

Very useful for navigating Netgalley's page and give you some awesome ideas. Thank you for the ideas and writing this

I like how it goes through step-by-step how you should set up your bio and it just gives you a bunch of details on what not to do and what to do.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit quickly and concisely summarizes the must-know information to get started requesting and reviewing books through the NetGalley experience. It includes links for examples and further exploration, making this toolkit one that I will surely return to as I start my reviewer journey.
Having explored a few other links to getting-started articles throughout the NetGalley site, I had come across much of the information already. So my single criticism is that the book could be presented to new book advocates even sooner.

Comprehensive overview of what NetGalley is and how to use every feature, very useful! I like how it includes review tips, descriptions for every type of Netgalley user and how to review audiobooks. Example of a review is also useful and feasible reasons why you might have been denied are also nice.

Useful manual for beginning the NetGalley adventure, with beautiful graphic design. I'm grateful to read it as a new user and it contained some helpful tips how to get started.

This is a great resource. Thank you for putting together this toolkit! As a new bookstagram account this has helped me understand how to proceed and how to get noticed. In my first 30 days I am at 60 followers and I feel humbled and know this toolkit has helped.

This is a really effective guide. It sets out clear expectations for NetGalley users and outlines the best ways to achieve them. There's a lot of information on how to use the site and the Shelf app. Knowing how to use the Dashboard and how Publisher Approval Preferences work is really useful. There's also lots of great, simple-to-follow advice for writing reviews, which has definitely been really helpful for me. All-in-all, I'd say that this is a brilliant reference tool for those starting out.

Excellent compilation of ideas and techniques to be a great book advocate. The book is clear and informative. This book is a must have for those just starting their journey or those looking to polish their art.

Thank you WeAreBookish and Netgalley for this book to review.

As a new NetGalley user, this is a great tool. I just finished my first book and am working on writing the review. Reviewing ARCs and ALCs are different than a standard review, so understanding the nuances and what publishers are looking for is helpful.
