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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
