NetGalley is a marvelous digital space where authors can share advance reader copies of their books enabling reviewers to help promote and get the word out about new books. NetGalley has created a guide to help new (or seasoned) reviewers improve their performance.
For anyone new to the world of book reviewing (or to NetGalley specifically), I highly recommend requesting this toolkit. The first section offers a helpful orientation to all things pertaining to NetGalley and its website. This section serves as a tutorial for getting the most out of the website and for becoming familiar with its various sections and features.
The second section pertains to the nuts and bolts of writing reviews including general tips for writing, an explanation of DNF ("Did Not Finish"), an example of a review for reference, and some general helps on how best to use social media.
The third section gives more tips, tricks, and tools for taking your reviews to the next level. I appreciate how much NetGalley does in the way of support and education to help reviewers be the best they can be. I've been reviewing on NetGalley since 2017 and I learned a few things myself!
Disclaimer: I received a free digital copy of "NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit" for the purpose of review. No other compensation was received.
