Some helpful tips and tricks. I was able to source about half on my own but this helped out. Submitting feedback due to score error

This was so helpful! ill be using all of these tips! I'm not 'new' to netgalley, but i have learned a lot and will be applying everything to make me a better reviewer in general and on here

This was a very helpful kit, very useful for getting to grips with NetGalley. Thank you for providing it!

This toolkit provides a comprehensive overview of NetGalley, and will probably save new users some time and frustration. The layout is colorful and clear, which makes it fun to read; I especially appreciated the links to click for more information, keeping the reader from being overwhelmed with details they may not need right now.
The section on Navigating NetGalley was particularly useful - it took me a few days of playing around on the site to find everything shown here. Also, the simple tips in How To Write a Review will help anyone who is struggling to get started or needs to review a book they didn't like at all. There's even a flow chart on How to DNF, to let the reader know what to do when they didn't finish a book for any of a number of reasons.
As quick and pleasant as this is to read, it also has quite a lot of useful information. I'd recommend that everyone starting out on NetGalley check it out. And, as they point out, reviewing it will help your books reviewed percentage. That makes it a win-win in my book.
Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this for review.

Very good tool book to help readers and reviewers get the concept of netgalley! Can’t recommend netgalley enough anyway and this little book really sums it all up and helps us.

I would highly recommend this resource for all new NetGallery users. It provides a wealth of helpful information! I've gained a much clearer understanding of the approval process and ways to improve my approval odds. I have found a helpful way to stay informed about upcoming review due dates through the weekly emails.

Easy to use and cute. Organized and a good way to track books. Will recommend! Wish it had a few more pages

This book has all the information you need to be successful on NetGalley. From information to tips and tricks, navigating the website and being approved by top publishing companies, you can find it all on this handbook. Thank you for being so helpful and for making this an easy and enjoyable experience!

Good resource for reviewers. Packed with information and easily digestible. A recommended read for anyone wanting to review books.

Very excellent and helpful guide to using NetGalley. It have me many helpful tips in how to use the site

Great publication for book enthusiasts looking to share their love of reading. The toolkit offers a lot of helpful information for people beginning in this area of content, reviews, arc, etc. We Are Bookish never disappoint in their offerings.

Every new NetGallery user should read this. So much helpful info! I feel like I have a much better understanding of the approval process and how to increase my approval odds, plus I learned that there’s a text to voice option and what to do if I don’t finish a book or don’t download something before it archives.

This was a super helpful guide to navigating the NetGalley website and gave helpful tips on updating your Bio, and writing reviews.

A brief but helpful primer for Netgalley beginners. It covers everything from types of members, your profile, how to navigate Netgalley, requesting books, and giving feedback. A good place to start your Netgalley journey.

Very helpful and informative! Will suggest to other new NetGalley users like myself. Thank you for this resource. 5/5

It’s short, to the point, and packed with useful advice on how to write reviews, engage with publishers, and build your platform as a reviewer.
I liked that it wasn’t just about getting free books, it actually breaks down how to write thoughtful reviews and promote them effectively. The tips on structuring reviews and using different platforms were especially helpful. It’s beginner-friendly, but even if you’ve been reviewing for a while, there are some good reminders about best practices.
That said, it’s more of a guidebook than an in-depth resource. Worth checking out if you’re on NetGalley or thinking about getting into book reviewing.

I found reading through this toolkit quite helpful with setting up my Netgalley profile along with learning the best and most effective way to leave my reviews!

This was a great guide for those just starting out on Netgalley, and a great reminder of how to get the most out of the platform for anyone else. Especially the reminder about request sprees :) Who hasn't done that?!
Wish I would have had it years ago!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a very helpful resource for anyone interested in using NetGalley for tips on writing book reviews.
