There were quite some interesting tips in there! I will definitely try out some of the tipps for Instagram and maybe even booktok! :)

This is a great toolkit providing all the information one may need to start using NetGalley. It details helpful tips on review-writing, info about different platforms you can share your book reviews on, and other useful advice to make the most of your NetGalley experience. This is all presented in a simple, easy-to-read format full of colourful illustrations, perfect for dipping in and out of as needed.

I would definitely recommend this book to help readers become adept at spreading their reviews/opinions around the different social media available. The one giant caveat is that the reader needs to have a basic knowledge of navigating the media at their disposal. This is what I lack and wonder if it is an age related issue. I would love to know how others in my age group feel. When it comes to learning new ways of using the computer, I learn best when someone is sitting at my side, listening to my ranting and answering my many questions.

This is a useful tool for getting started with reading on net galley. I did the rookie mistake of requesting too many books. Now I am more selective and request only my favorites.

The NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit helps social media influencers and reviewers tips on how to write a review, set up social media accounts, and how to request books. They give do’s and don’ts and checklists in an easy to read format with infographics and checklists. It is a great reference for writing reviews and provides an index so readers can go back to reference in the future. I wish they had a worksheet for reviews that you could print and fill out to make sure all necessary information is included.

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I thank "We Are Bookish" for providing this very useful summary of how to be successful at NetGalley including straight forward tips on reviewing, time management, improving acceptance probability, and helping us become better reviewers and social network members at the same time. I am certain that I will continue to review this document in the future!

Thank you NetGalley and We are Bookish for providing a review copy of this excellent work.

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!
