Thanks NetGalley for this clear instruction guide! It helped answer the questions I had and loved that you talked about feedback ratio

NetGalley's guide sufficiently covered each area I felt was able to get me started - immediately after finishing browsing through, I made several updates to my profile; having a much better idea of what it should look like there. My only real note would be that the guiding screenshots appear to be of a previous edition of the site. Or, in some other way, do not match how my screen looks when visiting. It's not a huge effect: the information and proper menu titles are all still present; it was simply notably distracting.

This is an extremely helpful guide that has everything you need to know on how to navigate the site, the process of getting Arc's and how to tailor your profile to attract publishing companies. Highly recommended for all those new to Netgalley.

Super helpful tips for making the most of NetGalley! The examples are really good for updating your profile.

A great toolkit for reviewers who want to upgrade their book advocacy. I am excited to see more materials focused on NetGalley.

It's a handy tool for new users of NetGalley, helped me learn how to navigate the website. Easy to use.

I was so glad I downloaded this. I know I have to brush up on my reviews and this is going to help me a lot. Especially on how to write a review for DNF books. Thank you for caring so much about the community.

Helpful guide, I always come back to this even for the basics. Helps a lot new users and I highly recommend everyone read this before navigating the world of NetGalley

This was fantastic advice on how to start my account on NetGalley, and a really helpful tool to utilize!

Thanks for the copy of the NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit, I have been a member for over five years and my profile needed a makeover. I wish this was available when I joined, as I made the mistake of over requesting and I'm still trying to catch up and improve my feedback radio.

This is a great guide on navigating and has detailed advice on how to build up your NetGalley profile!

I enjoyed reading this updates version of NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit. I have it downloaded both on my phone and computer to refer back to when writing reviews and used the tips to optimize me profile. This is an invaluable tool and is helping me up level when it comes to reviews, social media, and paying attention to the details. Thank you NetGalley!

This seems like quite a useful guide! I am just starting on my book reviewer journey, so I will definitely be going back to it a lot. It's easy to read, it has quick tips and tricks and the layout of the text makes it interesting and easy to go back to.

This guide was extremely helpful in learning how to navigate NetGalley and updating my profile to connect with more publishers and request books that I commonly read. Highly recommend everyone to read this guide!

Thank you, This is great feedback on how to give quality reviews and how to set up your profile to best represent yourself as a quality reviewer!

This was great! It is easy to read, and since I am very visual, I appreciated having photos to guide me better. I learned a few things that I was not aware of. For example, I have only DNFed a couple of books, but now I know better how to handle that. Definitely worth the read!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a helpful guide to navigating NetGalley as a new reviewer. I loved the infographics they used to display their information, it helped me easily understand the tips in a fun way. The most helpful part was setting up the profile, I wasn't sure how to write my bio and this guide truly helped me. I would recommend this to anyone who reviews books even if it's not for NetGalley.

This guide has been super helpful for utilizing NetGalley! Thank you so much for creating this resource !

This Book Advocate Toolkit ended up being a really wonderful wealth of information.
Some of my favourite sections included the links to dealing with readers guilt as well as the comprehensive section on how to actually write a good review.
Some of my favourite tips included trying to avoid the requesting spree (I've been guilty of this and I'm still trying to dig my way out of my terrible reviewing ratio because of it) and the flow chart on DNFing.
Overall, I really loved this and hope to see more of this (particularly the social media section that was labelled as coming soon!)
