I am just starting out on NetGalley and this was exactly what I needed! It is a great resource for anyone on NetGalley from those just starting out like myself. Or those who have been looking for tips and tricks! This has a ton of information like how to write a review and how to utilize the NetGalley Shelf App. I am grateful to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for this opportunity.

This is a very useful guide! I have been reviewing on NetGalley for a few years, but there were some good reminders, as well as some new information (or things I had possibly forgotten). I really liked the graphics and the formatting. It presented information into useful and well-organized chunks. Thank you for being so helpful and support to galley readers, NetGalley. :-)

This is a very helpful guide for reviewing NetGalley titles, and just writing reviews in general. Will definitely pass this along to fellow reviewers.

A really user friendly guide on how to use NetGalley and write reviews! I wish this was here years ago when I first started using NetGalley and messed up my profile.

As a new NetGalley user, I found this guide to be incredibly helpful. I have been in the online review community for a few years now but have never taken it seriously. As I learned more about the community, I quickly discovered it's one I always want to be a part of and grow in. This guide will help me take my book reviews to the next level and offer the best for my audience. I'm now striving for an orange pencil next to my reviews ;).

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a nicely designed and useful guide to how to use NetGalley. Would recommend to anyone who wants to improve their NetGalley experience.

This is a useful if very brief guide to how to use NetGalley. Nicely designed. I don’t have a great deal to say about it other than that.

A direct yet interesting guide to the ins and outs of Netgalley. With engaging graphics and easy to grasp explanations, this guidebook is a step towards the right direction in informing the users of the site of its functions.

This was a super cute, concise, and informative little toolkit. I've been reviewing things for years, and I have my own method. I wasnt necessarily looking for tips in that area. That doesn't mean this wasn't incredibly useful, though! It gave me a lot of insight in to how NetGalley works and the best ways to navigate it's various resources. I especially appreciated the way they emphasize the importance of a clear and professional profile, and the little things that publishers are looking for. All of the quick little Do's and Dont's about writing a bio and all the reviews was also helpful.

Even though I have been reviewing for a few years, I appreciated the tips on where to find specific publisher approval requests, as well as suggestions for keeping my profile up-to-date!

This looks great! I am already a user of NetGalley for a couple of years but I'm sure I can learn something from all the information in this document!

How great it is to be able to get tips directly here on NetGalley instead of searching everywhere or combing through FAQs! The information is succinct, to the point, and full of great tips. It's a bonus that you can try reviewing a book by giving feedback to the toolkit.

This was a surprisingly helpful guide to NetGalley. A little more in depth than the kind of click-through tutorial you might find on a typical digital platform, but not so dense that it wasn't worth the effort of a read-through. Very useful for fine tuning my user profile, in particular.

The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is a concise and practical resource for anyone looking to enhance their book reviewing skills and connect more effectively with publishers. I appreciated the clear, actionable tips on how to articulate your interests to publishers. The section on writing effective reviews is equally valuable, offering guidance on crafting feedback that is both constructive and engaging. I am looking forward to the extended edition, which promises to include a social media toolkit.

Overall, I recommend this guide to new book reviewers who are serious about providing useful feedback to publishers and authors via NetGalley.
