This was really informative, visually interesting, and should be the first book new NetGalley users are suggested!

This was such a helpful overview for me as I got started on NetGalley. I have a better sense of what to expect and what is expected of me.

Very helpful! I noticed that some of my requests have been denied. I was getting defeated but then came across this book. I will utilize some ideas to help spruce up my profile!

Lots of great tips on how to get started on NetGalley! I've been a member technically since 2015(-ish?) but fell victim to requesting a billion books whilst on my last year of medical school, so I completely tanked my feedback ratio and it was pretty abysmal for a time since the books had been archived and I didn't have them downloaded.

I've since been on a reading spree this year and sought out several of those books from 2015 at local libraries so things are better now! This guide includes helpful tips on writing book reviews, sharing on social media, what to include in your profile, content planning tips, and even what platform might be best suited for you as far as sharing reviews go. (As you may be able to tell, I tend to be more verbose, so blogging/Goodreads = where it's at for me..)

Thank you for putting this together!

A wonderful guide for those who are new to NetGalley. This book helps to navigate your way through the Galley World. It also allows the reader to see what the publisher is looking for in a potential Galley reader.

This toolkit was so helpful in helping me understand how Netgalley works, what tools I can use to succeed as a reviewer, and how to market my own reviews. Thank you for such a helpful quick read. I will keep it handy for when I need a quick reference guide for success.

A brief yet comprehensive overview of working with NetGalley to receive and review advanced Reader copies of books. I found several parts of the guide helpful, but it was almost too broad of an overview for someone with more of a niche audience. I appreciated the basic introduction to NetGalley, however!

This toolkit was very informative. It provides great suggestions and resources for improving book reviews on a variety of social media platforms. I will definitely be referring to it as I create my book reviews.

Der Inhalt ist kurz und bündig. Alles wichtige ist dabei und ich konnte wichtige Sachen mitnehmen (wie ich meine Bio noch verbessere zum Beispiel). Ich mag die Übersichtlichkeit, es wirkt ein wenig wie eine Powerpoint Präsentation oder ein Instagram Post, aber das finde ich okay, denn bei beidem wird darauf geachtet, dass das wichtigste da ist und es keine Ausschweifungen gibt.
Das Cover allerdings finde ich nicht so gut, also wüsste ich nicht, dass der Inhalt hilfreich ist, würde ich nicht drauf klicken, denke ich.
Daher 4 von 5 Sternen.

I found this to be super helpful! I appreciated all the information provided, especially the photo tips, and content planning.

I recommend this to anyone wanting to start a book focused social media.

This was so helpful! Much more than I expected!

Unless you are super experienced with reviewing books on every platform, even then, I feel this is a really amazing resource for all experience levels.

All social media platforms / reviewing sites / blogs aren’t made the same. Some have different requirements than others. I love how straight to the point the material was and I didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. Every page had helpful information!! I highly recommend everyone to read thru this and look back on it along the reviewer journey.

Really happy I found this!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish has proven to be a nifty little guide that has aided me in my process of getting back into the habit of writing book reviews.

Very informative while still keeping it light. It includes valuable tips for reviewers and how to elevate your NetGalley profile, but it's probably an even more important tool for those thinking of starting a book-related social media account and doesn't know how to start.
