Very helpful guide! Thanks to NetGalley for providing this to its users. It has inspired me to make my own #Bookstagram. You can find me at @WhatDidAmandaRead on Instagram.
As a new NetGalley member and a new book reviewer, this 32 page toolkit was very helpful.
It gave helpful tips for Social Media and book blogs and advised on how best to create a review and your platform. I like how short it is and how attention grabbing.it is.
I do wish that it had links like it seemed to try to add so that I could actually click on the "find more ____ here"
I wil definitely be using this toolkit in the future and very much recommend for anyone who wants advice on curating your book reviewing platform.
Thank you to Net Gallery for providing this helpful toolkit
As a relatively new book reviewer, and new NetGalley member; I found this toolkit to be an amazing resource. Not only did it help me navigate NetGalley, build my profile and help me get approved for my first three titles, it prepared me to review these titles and how to approach my review process. The tools included for blogging, social media and how to effectively manage your time as a book advocate were so helpful. I plan to continue to use this toolkit throughout my book advocate journey and would recommend it highly to anyone starting their journey as well. A big thanks to We Are Bookish for creating and giving access to this wonderful resource.
This toolkit really does justice to its name! Netgalley has always been the spokesperson for book advocates and this toolkit is everything a newbie or experienced book advocate could ask for. It's just 32 pages but covers book blogs and all social media platforms - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube - briefly, with further links attached to their member blog We Are Bookish. If you're looking to up your game as a book advocate, just starting or wanting to try out a new platform, this toolkit is a saving grace. Will be making sure I save this one for future use!
I found this very helpful in understanding how NetGalley works. It explained everything very clearly.
By far the best toolkit for bookstagrammers, book bloggers, book lovers, etc! I do not think I will write a review without pulling up a copy of this toolkit from now on.
I started my bookstagram/signed up for NetGalley about two years ago. I wasn’t gaining many followers or receiving any arcs. After creating some more constant content, and researching/updating the best way to set up my profile on NetGalley last fall, I have seen a change to both! Within the last few months, my follower count has significantly gone up and I have received my first arcs!
Since I am used to just taking pictures of books and doing fun quick reviews on Goodreads, I pulled up this toolkit for help on writing better reviews. This 31-page pdf has helped me shape the way I write reviews, use apps like Canva, and just had a bunch of great tips!
If you want to create a book account, I recommend this toolkit 100%!
This book is very helpful for me (new bookstagrammer). It has helped me navigate NetGalley and the right was to post reviews.
A well done tool for new readers of influence! I found the ratings and social aspects of it particularly helpful, and it was very pleasing to the eye! Would recommend for new NetGalley users
I learned so much more than I expected! I highly recommend any book reviewer or book club leader to read this. Authors might learn some tricks too!
Thank you to Netgalley for providing this toolkit!
This book is filled with advice as well as tips and tricks for new and experienced reviewers alike. I found it to be a good refresher as I get back into the reviewer world.
Really helpful for someone new to NetGalley! I recently started reviewing books on this platform and was able to use this material to navigate the reviews and write better ones.
As a new NetGalley member and reviewer this Tool Kit is filled with information that has helped me to focus on the most important areas of getting started. The best sections have to do with Social Media. I am now able to create more professional and eye pleasing Instagram posts and I now understand the positive use of hashtags better. I found “Requesting Books 101”, “Feedback Ratio” and “How to Write…” extra helpful as well. This Tool Kit is easy to come back to as a reference. We Are Bookish honed in on all the pertinent areas and has created a nice resource for use.
A very handy guide for both improving your success rate on NetGalley and also in how to develop your social media skills.
a very useful toolkit that gives netgalley users lots of information about the platform, along with tips for both netgalley and other online book platforms, such as youtube, tiktok, instagram and book blogs! you can find everything, from a review template to a profile guide.
A nice resource with useful pointers - good to keep as a reference, especially if you haven't done much reviewing. Should be a first book for all reviewers!
Wow, this was SO helpful! I definitely got some amazing tips and cannot wait to branch out more. I would recommend this to everyone. Even if you think you don't need it, you should still give it a try.
thanks for making this besties, it was very helpful! Even as someone who has been using netgalley for a while, I learned many thing!
A book that contained things to think about when you talk and write about books on Social Media.
I will take what I read with me :)
Great guide for professional readers on how to review books and utilize many social media platforms to post reviews. The concise format is very handy as a quick reference to use on a regular basis.
As a new author, I found this guide to be helpful for getting early reviews on my book. As a reader, the guide helped me see how I can support other readers' experience by reviewing the books I enjoy.
