Super helpful to make sure you’re doing things well. It really helped to check boxes I didn’t even think about!

NetGalley's advocate tool was definitely helpful in working through the process of reading eARCs. I appreciate the suggestions and how-tos included.

I suppose it was helpful. I am not sure what else to write here. I did not know what exactly I was clicking on when I clicked it. I would not click it and read it a second time. Thank you!

Great to use for an introduction to NetGalley. Shows you how to use the website and tips on how to put your best foot forward with publishers and accessing ARCs.

This toolkit has been really helpful to navigate NetGalley and especially the review writing process. The amount of precise and accurate tips to construct a thoughtful and critical review when sometimes we feel like we don’t know how to frase in depth what we thought of the book we just read. I find myself always coming back to this toolkit. That is why I 100% recommend it.

A great tool for those just starting out with book reviews. A tool kit everyone shold have saved somewhere for reference.

This is a user guide to NetGalley which is necessary since the feedback ratio & approval mechanisms are not what I expected. I will be encouraging new employees at my shop to go through this guide during account setup.

Again, another simplistic but visually pleasing guide for us all. It doesn't matter if you are a professional book reviewer or a growing social media account, this guide puts everything in layman's terms that are easy to follow.

Thankyou We are Bookish and Netgalley.

Netgalley's book advocate toolkit is really helpful. It provides instructions on every feature and also guides me on how to write my bio and what a publisher or author wants to see in a reviewer. As a newbie here, this toolkit is a much-needed requirement.

I didn’t think this book would be included in books I needed to review. I originally didn’t review this and it has effected my feedback percentage.

It is a very interactive and engaging with the theme of the graphics. Everything is concise and clear. It includes guidelines for creating profiles, tips to maintain ratio and much more useful information.

Helpful book for writing guides however I didn’t think this book would be included in books I needed to review. I originally didn’t review this and it has effected my feedback percentage.

I learned so many extra tips from this guide and so many things about netgalley that I didn’t know!

Such a helpful list and guide!

This guide was very helpful! I hadn't realized that different publishers have different approval preferences, so I'll be sure to check that going forward. Netgalley is my first experience with arcs and leaving a full review as opposed to just a star rating. Due to this the book review tips were also extremely appreciated!

I’m new to Netgalley and the ARC world, so this was a super helpful guide on how to thoughtfully construct a review and general tips on getting started. I honestly didn’t really understand how even the feedback ratio worked, but this book did a great job explaining terms I was unfamiliar with! Will definitely be implementing these tips as I get started on my ARC journey.

For anyone just starting out their NetGalley journey, this toolkit is indispensable! It helps with prepping your bio in order to heighten your chances of being approved, how to write your requests, as well as how to write and submit feedback for the ARCs you are approved for. Highly recommend reading through it for a better NetGalley experience.

It’s a great and important resource for both newcomers to the platform and those who are already using it.
It offers excellent tips and serves as a fantastic tutorial to help guide users through the platform.

LOVE THIS!

When I originally created my account YEARS ago, there wasn't anything like this available.

That original account got deleted by accident, but I'm so happy to be back, and I'm glad that I stumbled across this resource, as well. Although I already knew most of what this toolkit contains, I love that it's a lovely resource full of great tips for new reviewers!

Great job, Netgalley! Keep it up!
