I found this book to be engaging and effective. It provides all the information a beginner would need to get started on Netgalley and beyond. One thing I really enjoyed about this short guide is that it was both encouraging and realistic. It didn't shy away from the fact that it's being a constant book reviewer isn't as easy as reading a book and typing up some notes. It takes a lot of work, dedication and time. If you're willing to put in the time and the work, this 32 page guide is an excellent starting point, and worth reading cover to cover. I look forward to taking the tools from this kit and putting them to use in the future.

Need help getting started writing book reviews? NetGalley's "Book Advocate Toolkit" is for you! This accessible guide has tips and tricks, dos and don'ts, and general good advice for expressing your opinions about what you read. The Toolkit is well-designed and does not have to be read sequentially. Middle school and high school students can easily access the information in this booklet.

I will use this Toolkit to help my students find their voice as we begin a project to promote books to our school community.

Thanks #NetGalley for providing this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

This was very helpful in understanding how NetGalley works. The information regarding reviews was especially helpful. I expect the need to refer back to it in the future.

This is a great guide to brush up on your skills but also be exposed to useful tips. The user format is informative and engaging with the graphics and colour used. It's perfectly paced with information broken down into summary, bullet points and visual aids.

It focuses on a wide range of tips from various social media platforms to how to construct your review.

The tone is encouraging, simple language used and great examples provided. I would recommend this to first time reviewers.

We are Bookish's Advocate Toolkit exceeded my expectations by a great margin. Not only does it compile information, tips and tricks on all relevant topics, it also provides links for further knowledge aquisition. Their presentation in lists and nicely designed bullet points makes it a pleasant read. I've been a part of this community for a few years now and I found it refreshing and a valuable collection that anyone can profit from. Thanks We are Bookish, and I'll be sure to check out your other resources provided on the blog.

This was super helpful for any new Book Advocate using any of the popular social media or internet platforms to post their reviews. The Toolkit is short but packed with great tips to get you started using NetGalley and the basics of writing good reviews. It was concise enough to not be overwhelming for the beginner, but filled with tangible bites of do's and don'ts'. I really appreciated the advice to "stick to what works" and not feel the need to be on every platform. This is something I will save to reference in my future posts and expansion to other platforms.

Great tool for getting started on NetGalley. Can also be used for a refresher. It never hurts to get a reminder on how things are set up to work. I still check the advice on writing reviews, just for a reminder of what should be included.
