NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a great reference for new reviewers to gather their thoughts on where they want to start. It was really helpful to me to know what I was doing was on the right track.

Additionally, it offers tools and suggestions if you have a blog, post on Instagram, Twitter, etc., and gives ideas on how to start sharing about books on all of those platforms! I’m glad I found it, and will recommend it to other book friends who are just starting out.

This book was a fantastic introduction for NetGalley. The book also helped to provide insight on being successful when it comes to writing book reviews.
The only downfall is that the book is specific to NetGalley only. Working in a middle school library, it would not make for an ideal addition to the collection. However, in regards to my personal library collection, I will be making it a permanent addition.

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.
