Super easy to understand the content included, but it was very helpful to my understanding of NetGalley as a whole. I recommend this to all NetGalley users, both beginners and veterans, as there is so much useful information inside! A very valuable resource.

This very super helpful when crafting my very first book review! I loved the detail put into each section. It was very informative, but not overwhelming and easy to follow. I especially liked the different tips depending on what platform you are reviewing. I would recommend this to anyone looking to start reviewing books. Thank you NetGalley!

Being new to NetGalley, this toolkit was informative and a great guide to get started. I would recommend anyone who is new to NetGalley and wanting to get approved by publishers of their choosing to read through this toolkit. I also appreciate the education of review etiquette which I did not know beforehand and am glad this went over that too. Overall, very educational and great guide!

I found NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit filled with many helpful tips to using NetGalley, writing reviews, using social media sites to share your reviews on. The easy to follow format and colorful pages made this book easy to follow. I would definitely recommend new users of NetGalley to read this book before you get started.

Useful guide for a newbie. Short and concise. Plenty of tips, do’s and don’ts. Covers all platforms; Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, blogs and Goodreads. Colourful and engaging.

As a first-time user of Netgalley, this was a beneficial title to look through when starting on this platform. I was excited as a book blogger to finally have a perfect space to request arcs without feeling needy or annoying when trying to do so. The tips on here were constructive, along with ideas on other questions to research individually to help further my success o this platform.

Wow - I read this after seeing it on NetGalley's TikTok and was pleasantly surprised on how detailed, engaging and helpful it is!

Super helpful to establish your NetGalley account and any other book related accounts.

I have read other guidance before but none have surpassed the level of this!

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish!

This book advocate toolkit was so much more helpful and educational than I expected it to be - I suppose my expectations were low, because most online guides I've come across are so basic that I don't learn much. This was the opposite experience - this toolkit covered pieces of information I've not spent much time thinking about and gave me some fantastic ideas for how to plan content for bookstagram, as well as choosing hashtags AND designing posts. My favorite section of this toolkit was the page discussing do's and don'ts of accessibility - I learned so much about what type of text isn't friendly to screen readers, and I'm excited to utilize this newfound knowledge going forward with my bookstagram adventures.

This short ebook was a very quick read. But, for being short, it had a lot of good tips for sharing content and staging photos!

This was an excellent resource outlining advice and tips for book reviewing. The text is clear and easy to read, and the page designs were eye catching.

What I liked the best about this book is that, not only does it provide clear advice on how to write your reviews, but it also goes into some great depth on expanding your reviewing style on a bunch of different social media sites. With tips for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, this book covers a lot of ground in not too many pages.

A great source of information for any one wanting to expand their reviewing presence on the internet.

This toolkit was very helpful in introducing how to use netgalley! I especially liked how it helped show what publishers were looking for when setting up your account! Huge help!

I found the kit very helpful and friendly, everything was explained in detail and I found the details about social media interesting, as well as the things publishers may want to see. Personally what I loved the most was the tips for members, i.e. how to set your profile in a more professional way.

Really great and very helpful kit for anyone reviewing "DRC's". When I first joined the information was available, but this book actually hones into the essential tips and information. a practical format.
Thanks you NetGalley and We are Bookish for the DRC
