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.

This tool kit will help you learn about the different apps or website that you can use to be able to create a nice photo for social media. It gives you different advice on how to create your reviews. I enjoyed it, I found it very informative and helpful. It is helpful since majority of my post are very simple and straightforward. This will allow me to improve on my post in social media and be able to create different backgrounds for the variety of books that I read. Remember that these are just advices and information that can help you improve in reviewing and posting.

This was very informative and helpful for not only getting started on NetGalley but it also gave helpful tips on upping your approval rate as well as great tips for writing your book reviews.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a very helpful resource for people new to NetGalley, as well as those looking for tips and information. The advice on book reviews and profile content is especially useful; everything is presented nicely in a way that makes it easy to read and understand. It really helped me to better prepare myself, and I will definitely reference back to it in the future.

This is a very informative guide that really helps to understand NetGalley better. When starting out it can be confusing and this kit was excellent l.

An incredibly useful resource for anyone looking to improve their influence as a bookseller or content creator in the book community. Its got tips for crafting compelling reviews and understanding how to boost visibility on social media platforms, which is just amazing. I found it so insightful and will definitely recommend it for anyone getting started on Netgalley and wants to advocate more effectively for the books they love

A handy little guide to using NetGalley. Reminded me to update my profile. And I learned I should be calling audiobook reviews "ALCs" rather than "eaudio ARCs"--thank god, that phrase is so awkward.

I was surprised it had an entire section on DNFing, how very woke of it lol. But no, really, I'm glad to see DNFing acknowledged and quasi-normalized. I used to get so stressed out forcing myself to finish ARCs I hated because I felt obligated. Now I just explain why they weren't to my taste and move on.

I love that there's a "Withdraw Request" option these days (for those times when I don't quite manage to curb my impulsiveness). I think I've only used it once or twice, but it's comforting to know it's there.

On the other hand, the "will not review" option might as well not exist because I'll never use it, not when it counts against the all-important feedback ratio. I can't have that. If I didn't get to a book before it was archived (because shit happens, lbh) and I have to purchase the book, use an Audible credit, or wait six months for a turn at the library, that book will get read and reviewed.

The only thing I disliked about this guide is THAT font--the stylized one that pops up here and there, like "Revised and Updated" on the cover. I don't understand it and it's hard to read (the k's!)

This toolkit is great for beginners on NetGalley!

The toolkit provides clear instruction and tips from setting up your account to how to write reviews. I loved the visual interest this toolkit provides as it makes the information appear less intimidating. I think this would be great for anyone first starting an account and for anyone needing a little more direction into the book review space! I can't wait to apply some of this knowledge to my account and to build a stronger platform for myself.

This toolkit is the perfect guide to getting started on NetGalley. I read the old version of this when I first joined, and this version is even better!

This book is a concise yet comprehensive overview on how to be a good NetGalley member. A someone who is on their book review journey, I found several things helpful. The Dos and Don'ts of your bio I found particularly helpful. This is great for any NewGalley newbie!
