This is a great tool for book advocates who are new to NetGalley or have already been members. It will help you navigate the website, teach you how to create your profile, how apply for books, and much more. It The tips have helped me a lot, and I even found out how to put NetGalley into dark mode. Even though I am not a new NetGalley advocate, it has still helped me in many ways, and I will keep this handy and refer back to it as needed. I definitely recommend this to any new or existing NetGalley book advocate!

Another short and cute handbook for prospective media reviewers from We Are Bookish and Netgalley. As I get back into the swing of things on my reading and reviewing journey, I appreciate all the free resources they have put together for us. If you're new to the platform, need a refresher, or are just wondering why your profile hasn't been approved for anything lately I suggest giving this handbook a quick skim - you might just find something you need to work on.

Thank you to #NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this short resource #BookAdvocateToolkit for free to your readers and reviewers. (If you'd like to read this, you can download a copy directly on NetGalley)

Every website should come with a guide like this!

As a new reviewer, it was so helpful to have an overview of not only the full site, but what my responsibilities as a reviewer are. When I started, I had questions of what kind of information my review should have and what kind of information is okay for me to post to social media / other review sites and when. I feel like this guide cleared up that question and so many other questions I didn't even know I had!

It was visually appealing and contained links to other resources that I know will be just as helpful. I have a feeling I'll come back to this guide at least a few times as I get acquainted with NetGalley. Thank you for providing this helpful Toolkit for newbies like me!

I’ve been on NetGalley for about 6 months, but I’d only been requesting books here and there. Now that I’ve committed to reading and reviewing more frequently, I wanted a refresher. I was particularly interested in the review tips, and will refer back to them any time I get stuck. The flow chart showing what steps to take when you might want to DNF a NetGalley ARC is another standout. Thanks so much for this invaluable free resource!

This was very interesting and useful for new NetGalley users. It describes the various way to request books, and view and download books to your devices. It also gives a good well detailed overview of the website. And the graphics made it easy to read and then show us in tutorials how to navigate through other parts of the sites. I liked the additional articles, on social media postings as well, as that can be helpful to most of us who use TikTok, Goodreads , and bookstagram, and YouTube. Thank you for the copy.

This is a really helpful guide to NetGalley - especially for a new user, it's a really great place to start.

I picked up lots of useful tips and advice, and it reminded me to link my NetGalley account to my kindle.

The section on writing reviews will be invaluable and I'm sure I'll refer back to it often.

This guide was so helpful in knowing how to start on NetGalley and really excited me for the beginning of this journey! It helps that the presentation is so cute and well put together. I really liked the additional tips on what makes a good review, especially as someone who is just getting started in this space. It's useful to know both what makes a good review from the opinion of the reader, but also to the publisher themselves as well.
