This was incredibly helpful, I made some changes to my profile to better reflect my interests and also learned a thing or two about the platform.

For someone new to reviewing and sharing their reads this is the perfect way to help you begin confidently and use the tools provided by NetGalley to boost your outreach andd support the book publishing industry. I can’t wait to get started!

This guide is a must-read for anyone new to NetGalley—or even longtime members who want to level up their profiles and reviews. The Book Advocate Toolkit breaks everything down in a clear, approachable way, from setting up your profile to writing reviews that stand out (with examples that are helpful).

I found it incredibly insightful. Whether you're trying to catch a publisher’s eye or just want to be a more thoughtful reviewer, this toolkit gives you the tools to do it confidently. Highly recommend bookmarking it and revisiting as your reviewer journey evolves. It's a valuable resource I wish I’d read sooner!

This booklet includes everything you need to understand NetGalley and tips to deliver useful reviews. I recommend this booklet to anyone wanting to make their profile stand out and becoming a better reviewer.

I had a lot of good information for people who are just starting their journey on NetGalley. I recommend reading this to get a sense of how the site works.

The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to become a more effective and confident book advocate. As someone working to grow my influence and connect with readers, I found this toolkit packed with insightful guidance. It covers everything from crafting compelling reviews to building relationships with publishers and authors in a professional way. The examples and checklists made it easy to apply the tips immediately. I especially appreciated how it emphasizes authenticity and consistency in sharing your love of books. This guide has given me new tools and inspiration to elevate my advocacy efforts.

The Book Advocate Toolkit was helpful for me, as I've only done two AC reader reviews before. It was written simply and gave good tips which I am hopeful will make me a better reviewer. I think this is a must for anyone starting on NetGalley or beginning to review books publicly. Thank you for making this available.

This was super helpful and answered all the questions I went in with. I'm excited to update my profile based on what I learned in this guide!

love the tips and tricks! This is very handy! It's nice to have some guidelines as to how to give your best review. I will definitely be referring to this in the future. Also, it is very helpful to see how to review a DNF, that can be tricky sometimes. Very useful tool. Thank you so much!

This book was a great introduction on how Netgalley works, various tips and tricks for user experience and how to write constructive book reviews that both publishers and readers can enjoy. I found this book very informative and it helped me a great deal.

This was incredibly helpful to me as a newer member of NetGalley!! I have always seen folks on Bookstagram and Booktok talking about NetGalley and it's so hard to learn everything without help! I tried googling a lot of things, but of course, this handbook covers all of it in a simple, easy-to-digest way. I love to go back and reference this when I'm trying to figure something out that I haven't done yet.

I think this book should actually be recommended for folks as soon as they join as a Reviewer. I kept trying to figure out how to even get a feedback ratio in the first place, how to update my profile (and keep it updated), and actually participate in the NetGalley community.

If you're new to the site - in any member category - definitely check this out! It's a great initial reference AND great to come back to as you grow in your NetGalley journey!!

This is such a helpful guide on how to use Netgalley and post meaningful, constructive and informative reviews. I often struggle with review wording and find that it takes me a while to write what I actually want to say, and this is an amazing guide on how to execute it perfectly and ensure I’m doing all I can to support the authors who allow us to read their work early. Highly recommended.

This guide provides some great information on obtaining ARCs. Like, what you should say in your profile, and other things of that nature. I specifically liked that it mentioned what to do if you cannot finish a book. While, every author wants people to love their story, unfortunately, not every story is good for every person. I like that the guide helps you determine what to do next if you're unable to finish the book.

The Toolkit you provided serves as my daily reference for managing ARCs and following review best practices. A few thoughts: The “How to DNF” chart is excellent but it would be even better if it were interactive such as a downloadable decision-tree to help reviewers through the process. A brief section about using NetGalley Shelf annotation statistics to identify highlighted passages could help reviewers develop data-based review approaches. The inclusion of short case studies such as “Reviewer X increased their Feedback Ratio from 60% to 85% in two months” would demonstrate effective practices in action. A brief checklist containing instructions for adding alt-text captions to review images and video transcript prompts would help users practice inclusive sharing. The Toolkit provides immense value to users but additional modifications would enhance its actionability and community engagement.

Great guide, a useful toolkit for book content on social media, its specifically well made and aimed for ARC readers! Will be using it, thank you!

Contained helpful guidance on writing and sharing book reviews for NetGalley. Glad I downloaded it and gave it a read before posting my first review.

As someone new to the online book community I found this extremely useful! I was able to gain some valuable knowledge/information that really helped when creating my profile. There’s a lot of information online but this is user friendly - easy to follow, concise and uses simple terms so it wasn’t confusing in any way. This is definitely a resource I’ll come back to, thank you.

Thank you to NetGalley for the Book Advocate Toolkit! It is a very comprehensive guide to using the website, and to formatting book reviews. With my newly created account, I plan to use this to continue to build better reviews and become more successful on building my profile for approvals.

The NetGalley Toolkit gave me some really valuable advice for how to be a helpful and successful Book Advocate. After reading it, I made some changes to my profile to help give publishers the information they want when approving book requests and help improve my chance of getting approved for the right books.
