The useful and resourceful “NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit” is one I had the pleasure of reading. It’s simple, yet informative language helps NetGalley users experience the best out of NetGalley.

What I found most helpful was the Profile Update section. Having some guidance on how to set up my Bio and to think about how to reach a higher feedback ratio was very useful.

The colorful and well-organized pages made this nonfiction text into a fun and quick read. I absolutely love and appreciate how there were graphics to separate ideas and suggestions. It made the toolkit a more pleasurable experience.

Overall, this was a worthwhile read, and I recommend it to every NetGalley user. I have been a NetGalley user for years, and I have learned a few new tips myself.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me an the opportunity to read “NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit”. All opinions are my own.

I want this in paperback:( What a blessing this has been. I have been a reviewer for 2-3 years now, maybe longer, i haven't kept track. I still feel like a newbie doing things the wrong way, incomplete etc. The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is helping me little by little to improve. Thank you for thinking of us beginners as well as those in the know. What a huge help! Wish I had this from the beginning! Even though I am not a blogger I am an avid reader reviewer an this provides tips across the board, different sites, different scenarios. Well done!

New Reviewer and NetGalley user here!

I found out about NetGalley a few months ago and had no idea where to start, I requested an ARC and was the immediately approved. I unfortunately, didn't really understand how this process worked nor did I think about the implications of not leaving a review when I was one of the selected readers.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit well, is very informative and delivered the perfect amount of clarification on the entire process.
This toolkit helped me revamp my bio, helped me understand the process of writing a review as well as offered many tips, tricks and links to other resources that I will find useful in the future.

I plan to keep this toolkit it in my phone to review whenever I need a refresher!

Bonus: The digital the presentation of this toolkit was very beautiful!

This toolkit provides a new NetGalley user with everything they need to start their journey, but in a way that is not overwhelming. It is very well laid out, with the perfect balance of examples and information to support users in setting up and beginning to use the platform. Without this book I would have muddled through beginning to use the platform, but instead I now feed prepared and excited to start my journey here.
