As someone who is fairly new to the book reviewer world, this was extremely helpful. Very simple layout and easy-to-understand advice. There were definitely suggestions mentioned in the pdf that I hadn't even thought of!

Definitely great for beginners though it would be helpful if the description explains it involves everything on how to set up a NetGalley account, how to request book review copies on there and how to plot out your reviews rather than help on how to draft all kinds of reviews, including critical ones. It's pretty short so definitely go for it if you're new to NetGalley and are looking for a basic guide!

This was very helpful to know what NetGalley is looking for and the guidelines to follow. Expectations were extremely clear in how to request titles, providing feedback for both positive and critical reviews, as well as how to manage social media.

This was helpful since I’m new to NetGalley I appreciated the advice of what to do and not do on this site.

I loved getting tips for the social media platforms I use to post book reviews. I mostly use instagram, but recently added a BookTok account, and loved these ideas to post Netgalley book reviews and videos. I also took note of the tips for requesting books on this platform.

*many thanks to Netgalley for the gifted copy

This is great! Very helpful. I have been on NetGalley for awhile and figured I knew what there is to know. Not true. I learned a lot. Thanks for this resource! 💕

NetGalley did a wonderful job putting together a step by step manual .. I really appreciated the guide for when you get stuck on how to review a book you may not have enjoyed.

Great! I was looking for a guide exactly like this!
It covers all the aspects of the reviewer work in general with some specific tips for writing a review or managing our social accounts. Great job!

NetGalley, with We Are Bookish, has produced a Book Advocate Toolkit. This toolkit is the perfect way to get started and comfortable on NetGalley. It walks the reader through creating a profile and selecting titles to review. There are tips for posting on social media including video reviews. Topics include hashtags and planning to put a review across all your social media platforms. It is a great tool to help the reader start with NetGalley or improve an already established profile.

This is an honest review of the title. I received it from NetGalley.

Great tips for newbies and the layout and design were eyecatching. I even learned a few things!!! I am sure to many people these tips were obvious, but for new people like me, I found a lot of the tips to be easy to follow and helpful.

Many people might already know a lot of the tips, but honestly, it's really good to see them written down. And there are some new things in there that are absolutely useful!
Oh, and I adore the layout!

Really useful, thanks Netgalley for this little manual because it helped me a lot and I will use it a lot to improve my Netgalley, instagram and goodreads account.
The advices are really on point, concise, clear and understandable to all and I also loved the very cute and organized graphics.

Good little tidbits that can help someone new like me get started. Nothing I haven’t really seen elsewhere or couldn’t figure out for myself though.

This is just the toolkit but it’s messing up my feedback ratio! So here is a nothing review- I appreciate the toolkit though! Thanks for making it! 😬

I think what I liked best about this toolkit was the liberal use of infographics - info was much easier to understand and RETAIN as opposed to paragraphs. The tookit is a great tool for beginners, not just with Netgalley, but on any platform you might post book reviews. Worth the read!

I am always looking for ways to be a better advocate and this has good information all the way throughout. It is the first stop for anyone new to Netgalley, and a great document to review every few months for seasoned reviewers.
