This toolkit is like your trusty life jacket — packed with practical advice and handy tips to help you navigate bookish content.

From setting up a member profile to keeping your feedback ratio in check (because yes, that really matters), this guide covers all the basics and then some. What I really liked is the section on reviews — especially those awkward “critical” ones we all dread writing. It offers solid, straightforward tips that make the whole process less intimidating and way more doable.

If you want to get the most out of your NetGalley experience without the guesswork, this toolkit is a good, easy read that delivers practical info without the fluff. Definitely worth a download!

Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish.

This is a useful tool. It helps me keep on pace with the reviews I do. When I find myself reading 5 to 7 books at a time, I need a tool to help keep it all together.

This was a helpful overview. It inspired me to update my profile and leave this review for this book to improve my Feedback Ratio. Reviewers should keep their Feedback Ratio above 80% because publishers consider that when providing ARCs. The explanation of "Read Now" vs. "Request" was also useful. It also explains how to withdraw a request.

This book/toolkit is very graphics heavy, which made it visually attractive, but I think it would have been easier to read if it had just been written like a normal book or simply as a webpage.

This toolkit is super helpful! It's is a must read for everyone using NetGalley or if you are interested in book reviewing.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a great introduction to NetGalley's platform for new users like myself!

I've revisited it multiple times to reference different topics, and will continue checking it every time I write a review. The book review section is really invaluable.

Overall, it's a handy reference guide that makes navigating and utilizing NetGalley far less daunting.

This has some useful info for newbies but I didn't find much in the updated version that I was not already aware of or is common sense after using Netgalley for a while.

But some good quotes to pull for people who have questions about starting on NG and a nice reminder to update my profile

Thank you To NetGalley and Bookish. A super quick read that took me maybe 10 min. Helpful and informative with not only how to navigate the reviewing aspects of the site but how to actually write your reviews as well. I love that they included what to do if you DNF'd a book or just really didn't enjoy it all. That way you could still leave a constructive review with insight instead of giving little to nothing or nothing at all.

This guide is accessible and thoughtfully organized, making it easy to navigate from start to finish. The visuals and graphics are not only there for the aesthetics but also systematically arranged to enhance clarity without overwhelming the reader. Its tone is encouraging and beginner-friendly.

What truly sets this guide apart is its focus on empowering new reviewers. It covers essential topics and offers practical advice on how to begin reviewing on NetGalley and develop your unique voice. This concise resource delivers exactly what you need to get started.

This NetGalley information packet was incredibly helpful for writing my reviews. Thank you for sharing!

Always helpful Netgalley. Through and full of tips for the novice book reviewer as well as those who have invested time previously.

Got it! This is great! The information was great and it will really help me with my reviews. I think we need to find a way to not have to write a review for this book as jt is just to help us review things. Much appreciated though!

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolbox is a practical, easy-to-digest guide that walks readers through how to make the most of ARCs (Advance Reader Copies) and how to write reviews that are both professional and influential. As someone who wants to contribute meaningfully to the book community, I found this guide straightforward, motivating, and packed with clear strategies.

This is a well laid out guide for NetGalley users, whether you’re new to the site or have been using it a while. After reading it I made some changes to my profile in order to better reflect my personality. It was super helpful because it shows you all of the things the publishers are looking for, and how to do those things correctly.

This toolkit provided great guidance for how I should use NetGalley going forward. I will take the advice presented into consideration as I edit my bio and structure future reviews.

Thank you NetGalley for helping to ensure that we have the information to leave thoughtful and detailed reviews. The infographics were clear and were visually laid out in a way that made them easy to follow, and the information contained inside was detailed enough to make things clear without being so wordy as to make it hard to comprehend. The embedded links and specific references to where to find certain items on the website made it very easy to follow along and figure out how to check all of our reviewing boxes!

Thank you to Netgalley for the helpful tips to make myself a better advocate for your platform. I found this really helpful, especially if just starting out in Netgalley!

Super helpful and engaging guide. I especially appreciated the sample bios and will be updating my profile accordingly. Thanks!

This is a guide that has been put together to give advice and provide some hints and tips to users of NetGalley. As a very new user to net Galley I found it really useful in terms of getting started., particularly as I had already been accepted for a book, but wanted to understand how to be succesful as a reviewer.

Ths guide was easy to follow and laid out logically. This is a document that I will be returning to.

Wish I would've known sooner that this existed.
This is a great overview of all things NetGalley!
I've also enjoyed that is visually pleasing assembled. :)

This was extremely helpful in understanding how NetGallet operates and how to get more involved. I will be using these tips and tricks to up my ARC game.
