"NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit" by We Are Bookish is useful tool for reviewers. I found this guide really helpful!
A very helpful guide to NetGalley and how to review books for them. I’m looking forward to expanding my reviews and sharing with my followers.
I've been hoping to work on my surveys for NetGalley. I have done my profile and think this is really my 200th audit. Astounding! This guide gave me those additional tips I was truly searching for. This was generally useful to me:
1. Concentration and Gain the Perusers Consideration Early. Then, at that point, portray your focuses and wrap up with a rundown.
2. Try not to utilize such a large number of emoticons. This appears glaringly evident, yet I realize I have composed audits that I believed were very shrewd utilizing loads of emoticons to make sense of the book. It isn't useful.
3. Try not to utilize extraordinary textual styles, intense, italic, or underline. This detracts from the distributer perusing the audit. That I didn't understand.
Continue to refresh your profile. This I have been uncertain about how much data to give. The book gave tips about this and, surprisingly, better extra NetGalley joins.
Thus, thank you NetGalley and We are Scholarly for a Duplicate of this Book. I value your recommendation.

I just reviewed NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish. #BookAdvocateToolkit #NetGalley
Best suited for fans who are avid book reviewers.
This book is a useful tool on how to use NetGalley and submit reviews; I will refer back to it regularly.
Cons
- Needs a definition page for terms specific to NetGalley and reviewing
- Some of the links seem redundant
- Would have liked some formatted examples of reviews or templates (that can be modified to fit personality).
Pros
- The links work and lead to more pages of information
- The knowledge that can be gained will grow with the readers needs
Grateful to Bookish for producing this guide.
Really helpful and informative toolkit 💛 will be utilising some of these tips with my reviews
Definitely give it a download and read, even if its just to get some ideas flowing
The NetGalley's Advocate Toolkit was extremely helpful. When I first signed up I was, I was very lost on what to do next. I held off on using the website for a few days. When I finally decided to use it, I did try to request a few books, but soon realized that I was doing it all wrong. I was then rejected and directed to try checking out the Advocate Toolkit.
From reading this kit, I was able to view on how to get better chances on getting approved for books. I also was able to look up how to write better reviews.
This toolkit really assisted me on having to set up my Amazon Kindle. I was having issues on how to set up my email and getting it linked with NetGalley. It took me a few tries, but I had it up and running in no time. It really wasn't that difficult to follow. Overall, this kit was simple to read and follow. The illustrations made it simple to read. I liked that there were no pages of text that you had to read through.
At times, having a serious amount of text can get very overwhelming.
Super helpful to get you started on writing meaningful book reviews, understanding what publishers expectations are, and step-by-step guide to giving feedback.
Really glad I read it before I wrote my first review!
I downloaded this tonight and read it right away. I love it because it had a lot of helpful information regarding how and where to review honestly and productively! I would recommend this to anyone who loves to review books!
This had some really good information contained within.
I liked the layout, and how the information was divided into different sections.
Very helpful and very informative. Lots of good information for getting started in the book social media community. I found this easy to read and understand.
This is quite helpful! I wish I had seen it when I first became a member. This little pamphlet is a great overview of not just how to create a good Netgalley account, but how to write reviews, create a bookish account on social medias like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or a blog, and has plenty of practical tips for maximizing your reading and reviewing time.
This was a really helpful guide to getting started! While I used it to understand how to begin, it would definitely be helpful for readers and reviewers of all experience levels.
This was super helpful on how to get approval for ARCs. I've been wanting to do this process for awhile but never knew where to start. I'm excited to be able to start reviewing ARCs now and helping bring attention to new books
It is a guide to the content already on the Net Galley site.
There are many parts dedicated to social media, including Instagram, TikTok, and others. Maybe X?
There is a part dedicated to "How do I create profiles in relation to the platform?" A second part is dedicated to planning content, that is, planning how to publish content.
Instead, there is a small part that was the one I was interested in, dedicated to how to write reviews. There were two pages that I was interested in out of the 30 pages in the tool kit. There are also links on the two pages that take you directly to some of the pages on the site where the aspetcs are explained in more detail.
Is the kit more or less useful?
I personally did not find it very useful; however, I would have liked to find more insights dedicated to reviews.
Since NetGalley is for reviews, I expected more of this in the toolkit.
Great guide for NetGalley book advocates! Easy to read, very thorough, and detailed. Recommended for anyone who likes to use NetGalley. Thank you.
The Net Galley's Book Advocate toolkit is a reference guide designed to help new (or existing) NetGalley Book Advocate members take their profile, reviews and social media to the next level.
I found this book really helpful and plan to keep it in my library to reference periodically. It's easy to read and a great little reference guide to assist with review writing!
A must-read guide with clear explanation and visualization for starting your NetGalley experience and improving your book reviews on any platform.
A really light yet thorough guide. Easy to read, with tips for all platforms that range from basic starter tips to more complex things for those who already know how but want to get better. Definitely worth reading and revisiting for reference.
Useful guide for people just starting out on NetGalley. Will be using it to help with my NetGalley journey from now on.
I've never written a book review before and this guide really helped me get started. I will contine to use for future reviews, thank you!
