It was alright but not as informative as I was hoping. Most of it was fairly obvious stuff, and there was not much to help those of us who don't primarily use social media. Also slightly annoyed that I must review it for the sake of my NetGalley ratio considering I don't have 100 words to say about it.

Definitely a good tool. I will be sure to use the tips in this book from now on!
I love the layout of the book. I also love how easy it is to read. The design and graphics that were used are nice and keep it from looking really boring and bland.

I had no idea where to begin when my friends suggested I check out NetGalley. All I knew was that I would be able to access more books from publishers who print novels from some of my favorite authors and discover even more books to add to my TBR list. Book Advocate Toolkit opened my eyes to how to truly get myself involved with NetGalley and different publishers, how to navigate the site and access bookish materials, and grow as a reader and reviewer!

What a great way to get started on NetGalley. I've been seeing people post about getting books on this site over on Goodreads and wanted to see if I could brush up on my reviews. I'm so excited to start now that I've gotten some great tips from this book. It's really easy to read and illustrated in a way that's easy to navigate. I've been wanting to grow my reviews for awhile now, and this will give me a great list of concrete ideas to make that push!

This is a great tool for new and seasoned reviewers. It provides helpful tips to make your review more substantial for the authors, publishers, and fellow reviewers. It includes tips that you wouldn't necessarily think of right off the bat. I was able to take tips and tricks and apply them to my review process.

Excellent guide to setting up an account and writing reviews. I appreciate the information on Bookstagram and BookTok. I also like the idea of a google document to track posting. Currently I post to my blog, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn and I would like to track if I miss any reviews. Highly recommend this toolkit to all Netgalley participants.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish
is a useful ebook for new book reviewers. I have read the blog articles so there were not many new pieces of information for me.
I really liked the graphic side of the ebook. I would welcome more tips for writing reviews and especially critical ones. Some examples would be great. The ebook could be more promoted because I found it accidentally.
After all, I liked it and I think it can be really useful to newbies.

Very helpful if you're new to reviewing, like me! I like to keep this book around and use it as a check list for my reviews.

Great tips for book reviewers or book advocates. Thanks for making this resource for us. When I downloaded based on a NetGalley tweet I didn't realise it was added to my list of books to review. But I do recommend that reviewers read this. Especially if you are new to NetGalley and the world of book reviews.
