This advocate toolkit is a great reminder on what to do and not do when you are posting reviews with tips on all platforms. I found it useful when making my first review. It gave me ideas that I didn’t even think about, so I was glad I read it before I started on my first review.

As a new member to NetGalley with little to no knowledge about the platform and how it works, this beginners toolkit was exactly what I needed. Not only was it very informative with extensive tips, but it was also beautifully designed. I especially found the "NetGalley Tips" section incredibly helpful. I learned about what to include in my bio, the process for getting approved for books, and what to look for on publisher's profiles. Furthermore, I also really enjoyed the sections "Bookish Social Media" and "Strategizing". As a relatively new account on BookTok and Bookstagram I found some helpful apps and tips throughout these sections. All in all, I would 100% recommend this toolkit to anyone new to NetGalley or bookish social medial in general!

This is a nice and easy guide for someone starting their journey in sharing their passions for books through social media. I liked the colorful layout and the lists were a nice touch to suggest actionable tasks. I’ll be referring to it from time to time, especially the section on reviewing books.

I just read through the entire book toolkit and I think there is a lot of great information in there for anyone using NetGalley. I am glad they cover a lot of things and platforms to provide reviews on. The feedback ratio is important for a lot of books. I liked all the social media planning tips that were provided.

Great information all together to get anyone started on the way to book reviewing for NetGalley. Some information seems like just something that should be known, but in today's world it is always better to say it. I didn't get much new info, I have been reading and reviewing books for years, but it was a nice refresher on what is commonly accepted. Thanks for the basic how to for NetGalley, I will keep ot for reference.

I really appreciated this guide and plan to refer to it often. I think it can feel a little overwhelming to start with NG but this certainly helps me feel more confident. I thought it was really well laid out and easy to follow. I hope to be able to find my way in this new part of my reading journey.

NetGlalley's Book Advocate Toolkit has everything you need to become a great reviewer on all platforms of todays busy internet highways. This toolkit explains the do's and don'ts of writing a review. There are suggestions for what the publishers are looking for, how to keep your reading ratio at a good level so the publishers will choose you for the book you want to read. If you are looking for ways to become an advocate on social media platforms, there are several pages of information about that too. These are just a few tips and tricks from this informative toolkit. I liked the information on writing reviews especially because I needed an update on reviewing. I would recommend reading this if you are thinking of joining the NetGalley universe of reading and reviewing or starting your own social media platform. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to review this title.

Good especially for people that have little experience on social media platforms starting out. I had never used instagram before starting reviewing books and this was a good first step into what makes a profile attractive and what beginners can do
