It helped me write a book review for Netgalley and it also contained several helpful tips about requesting books, as well as writing reviews so I'll definitely be using this book for my reviews from now on!

This is a fun, thoughtful resource, even for a long-time Netgalley member like myself. Thanks for making it available.

This is a must have book for any book blogger. Not only is it a great tool to improve my reviews, the format is creative and drives the reader straight to the point with all important information. My only wish--I had it in hardcopy to quickly reference (electronic copy will serve me until I can find a hardcopy).

This Toolkit was so helpful for someone just starting out with social media. There are tips and guides specific to various platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok that can help you decide which might for best for your needs to help you reach a larger audience. I especially appreciated that tips were included to make your content more accessible with descriptive text and captions. Thank you so much to NetGalley for making this resource available!

This was super helpful as a new Bookstagramer and netgalley member. It had great information that was presented in an easy to understand format. It was also very visually appealing!

The best part of this experience is that I felt welcomed with this kit.
This is a tool that for me as a writer of reviews and blogs provided me with a direction for the optimum way a review should be written and this learning will hopefully make my reviews more crisp and to the point.
I appreciate NetGalley for creating this tool as a reference and guide for reviewers, readers and social media enthusiasts to share their reviews and updates.
The kit holds enough information for a variety of tasks and gives a feel about the various channels and media to propagate the information.
I have yet to align my social buttons apart from my blog towards my reviews. Something that this kit will help me in the days to come.
This was the first book that I got from NetGalley but has become my second review having completed another book earlier.
4 stars.

A helpful toolkit for navigating the review process. The basic information was useful, but I did not personally need to read about how to make my blog/ Instagram/ other social media site better to attract more attention.

This toolkit is amazing! Both for brushing up on my own NetGalley experience, as well as for communicating what NetGalley is to others like my coworkers. I'm sure I'll be referring to the toolkit often as I use NetGalley and review books. The toolkit is accessible, colorful and fun to read.

As someone who is familiar with NetGalley as a company, but entirely new to using the platform - I found this kit super helpful! I love that it's a one-stop-shop for robust and impactful resources (instructions, links, dos & don'ts, etc.) and I especially appreciated the accessibility section.

Some content I'd love to see added to this kit in the future is how to recommend a publisher be added to the NetGalley portfolio. My bookworm heart would be so happy if I could request books from Arsenal Pulp Press!

All in all, this is an excellent toolkit and I'm so grateful it exists. If you're new to NetGalley like me (or book-focused social media platforms in general), it's definitely worth your time!

This is a great tool for NetGalley reviewers. Especially appreciated the specific thoughts about how to use social media to grow the exposure for my reviews. I'm off to set up my StephReads Facebook account. Definitely will be helpful to people who are new to NetGalley as well as experienced reviewers.

Whether you are newbie or need a reminder, this toolkit will inspire and guide you for future reviews. These are very helpful and I wish I had read it sooner. Thank you.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit was the first item I've read on Netgalley. I signed up some time ago but was a bit overwhelmed to get started to take my reviewing to the next level.
Last year I started to read books again and found out it was a lot of fun to write reviews of the books I read. I changed my social media more and more towards bookish accounts. I also started a Goodreads and Hebban-account to write longer reviews, because I started recieving reviewcopies from publishers and authors. A fellow-bookstagrammer pointed Netgalley to me so here I am, but where to start?
NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is very helpful. In compact blocks several social media and review options are explained, along with tips, do's and don'ts. I even found the golden tip for me, to start using Canva to up my game on Instagram, Tiktok etc. It's essential to complete your profile and make good content on the bookish sites and your socials, so you can get approved for reading here on NetGalley. I'm just starting, but i am very happy to have read this Toolkit. The pointers are very handy and I'm sure I'll be back to check them again once I have made another babystep towards my goal: Read and review new great books in advance! Thank you We are Bookish, for this wonderful NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit. The tips are very helpful.

This guide was really helpful as I am newer to sharing book reviews. There were a lot of useful tips and information that I have already started to put into practice.

This guide was extremely helpful and I would recommend it to anyone doing on-line reviews whether pre-pub or purchased.

Very helpful information! I expect I'll review and refer to it frequently as I get used to the Netgalley platform.
