A short but sweet guide to everything members on NetGalley need to know about reviewing. The Toolkit covers tips on writing book reviews, where to share on social media, and a bit of strategy advice. Readers looking through the ideas also have the option to click links that will take them to further tips on the We Are Bookish blog. Whether you are just beginning to use NetGalley and need help in deciding which member type to choose, or you have been part of the community for a while and are looking for ways to up your game - this helpful guide is just right for you.

Very useful guide to getting started with NetGalley, also helpful to those who need a refresher or just a little more direction. I actually wish it was longer.

I just made new account on Netgalley.
It's a great guide and very helpful to strengthen the Netgalley profile.

Useful document for beginners, that I wish I had when I started on NetGalley with great eye-opening tips for reviewers, especially as I am still trying to recover from my initial request spree! Attractive to the eye, this is a super introduction to NetGalley and being a book influencer in general.

I really enjoyed reading through this toolkit! I felt it was very informative and answered all of the questions I may have about how to succeed within not only NetGalley itself, but also with my Bookstagram. This NetGalley Toolkit, gives easy to follow steps on how to get started with NetGalley, breaks down helpful ways to write a review for each type of media platform, and finishes with strategies that will benefit your media accounts. Most of those platforms shown, did not apply to me, but that does not mean it would not be useful to other reviewers. I am a very visual person, so the layout of this toolkit was great for me. It was not just a bunch of text to read through, there were different colors and graphics that made going through the toolkit fun and easy. This is something I would recommend to anyone who is involved with any type of bookish social media.

This guide was extremely helpful! As a relatively new member of NetGalley I am still working to read and review books in an efficient manner. I especially liked the organization tips, the photography tips, and suggestions for hashtags. I will be referring to this guide often!

Loved this! This was so informative and so helpful! I'm still pretty new to Netgalley so I really enjoyed reading through this! I really liked the thorough steps and the explanations of everything. As well as the do's and don'ts of what to do. Thank you for making this and for making this available to everyone!

Thank you to Netgalley for sending me this for my honest review.

Good information! Thank you for providing this to help reviewers.
I find the material beneficial as I continue to review books provided bu publishers and NetGalley

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the opportunity to read a DRC of this kit for an honest review. (Publish Date: March 8, 2022)

I discovered “NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit” by We Are Bookish at just the right time! As a life-long book lover, I have been a member of NetGalley for quite some time and was looking for a way to take my book advocacy up to the next level.

The Book Advocate Toolkit had everything I was expecting and more! I had been playing with the idea of starting up a book blog and actively joining the BookTwitter community, but I wasn’t sure how to get started without feeling overwhelmed. This toolkit had such helpful information and tips that I now feel comfortable moving forward with both! For newbies, the First Steps list is critical for setting yourself up for a successful membership. Avoiding a request spree is my top piece of advice for anyone thinking about joining NetGalley, because it’s so easy to request any book that sparks your interest.

My only complaint about the toolkit was the embedded links didn’t work when viewing the digital version via the NetGalley Shelf App. Maybe using a different method would have fixed this problem, but I didn’t have any success and felt a bit let down that I couldn’t access the additional information that could have been useful for me.

Overall, I would highly recommend this toolkit to anyone interested in helping buildup, support, and spread the word on new books. Whether new to NetGalley or a longtime member, anyone can be inspired and benefit from reading through this kit!

This toolkit is a very pleasant, easy intro into NetGalley, book reviewing, and social meeting tips. It has cute images and helpful tidbits on information to get started.

The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is an incredibly useful guide for the NetGalley newbie and expert alike. I found the tips on writing book reviews and on use of different social media platforms particularly useful. I appreciated the links included to further information on many of the topics.

One thing I did wish had been included was a little more information on navigating the NetGalley website. Its simple enough once you have the hang of it, but can be a bit confusing when you first sign up. A fun thing to include in future editions of the Toolkit would be User Tips from long-term NetGalley users.

The Toolkit is definitely something I'll keep on (virtual!) file to refer to again and again.

A great resource for NetGalley beginners! I have been using NetGalley for over a year now, so I didn't find that I found it especially life changing, but I definitely loved all their helpful tips--having this resource will certainly be helpful in the future if I ever have reviewer's block!

Tons of helpful tips, thank you! There are so many useful tips and tricks to help us all become better reviewers. I look Forward to using all of them in my future reviews!

A great guide for new members, with straightforward and easy to follow tips on getting approved for requests and sharing your reviews, including specific tips for a variety of social media platforms. Reading this has helped me to feel more prepared for reviewing titles and increasing my success rate for requests.

Thank you NetGalley for this Toolkit!
This guide is perfect if you're like me: a total newbie to this platform. It will help you through everything you probably didn't understand within the first few hours of use. I'm definitely keeping this near me for my first book review!

This was such an insightful guide for a NetGalley newcomer! I was intrigued by the tips for building a social media brand and especially appreciated the section on accessibility. I'll be sure to return to this book in the future!

I'm really happy with "NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit". It's such a quick read and yet so clear and informative. It covers steps you can take to get approved for more of the books you request--It's not just feedback ratio! But feedback ratio is important and this book cautioned me against a request spree just before I was about to do one (witness the many tabs I had open for books that interested me). It also breaks down the important parts of a netgalley-style book review. It also explains how to avoid turning a critical review into a rant and how to make it useful to readers, publishers, and authors. It covers what to focus on in an audio book review. It also describes several blog review formats which I found useful because I'm thinking of starting a blog. And it has active links in each of these sections that take you to more information if you want more tips. Recommended.

Great and helpful tips! I can't wait to implement them. I wish it had more info on writing your bio. Otherwise awesome!
