If you are new to book reviewing and spreading the word about your reviews, this toolkit can start you on your way. The toolkit covers popular social media tools like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, plus publishing platforms like WordPress. It helps you think about how to publish your review in a few different ways.

Excellent guide on how to utilize NetGalley, understand the features of the site, and craft a profile that will appeal to publishers (which means more accepted read requests!)

Aside from connecting your social accounts, it's also a good idea to list a few favorite authors, include a brief description of the kind of content you create, and to update your profile every few months to demonstrate to publishers that you're active and ensures your stats are up-to-date.

I found this quick to read and easy to understand. I recommend it to anyone who wants to up their book review game and make the most out of their digital presence on NetGalley. Even if you have been using the site for some time, you will probably be able to find some useful tips.

Lots of good information and tips clearly explained for each of the social media platforms, as well as good tips for bloggers to create and schedule regular posts and grow your following, as well as specific tips for Net Galley. Very helpful!

Thank you for this toolkit! It offers great tips and tricks to navigate NetGalley. As a new member of NetGalley, I was able to learn a lot from this toolkit, such as feedback ratio, book reviewing, and content creating. This is a very informational tool for those who are interested in creating a booktok/booktube/bookstagram. The toolkit offers tips on updating my profile to help me get approved by publishers. All members should look through this before starting! Overall, thank you for all the wonderful tips!

A brilliant quick read that gives great pointers for those starting out reviewing or those who have been doing it for a while. I enjoyed the attractive layout and easy to follow steps.

This guide is unbelievably helpful for both people who are just starting out their reviewer journey on Netgalley, and seasoned reviewers who require a brief refresher course.

The tips it gives on reviewing books, and adding your own unique perspective so as to avoid drowning in a monotone drone is very insightful.

Incredibly happy that this guide was provided!

Excellent overall reference guide to NetGalley and the many aspects of reviewing. I will also continue to refer back to it to make sure that I’m doing everything possible in order to help not only authors and publishers but also other readers to find their next book.

I am grateful to have found this Book Advocate Toolkit in the middle of my journey on NetGalley. I tend to be a "binge requester" and find that I have more books to read than I know what to do with. This guide helped refocus me, and I've already begun to use a bunch of the tips to get organized and back on track!

The practical reminders at the beginning of the guide, while meant for newbies to NetGalley, were good reminders to me! Reviewing the ground-level expectations helped refocus me on what was most important. However, where this guide really shined for me was in their tips for BookStagram, Canva, and content planning! I'm a mood reader, and a binge requester, and so I can get overwhelemed when I look at my TBR shelves on NetGalley. Reminders to keep it simple, keep a content calendar, and "embrace the flat lay" were great starting points to helping me out!

I'm also SUPER GRATEFUL for the reminders about accessibilty! It feels like a constant battle to access content online when my autistic brain struggles with auditory processing, so knowing NetGalley is reminding all content creators to embrace captions and image descriptions (among other things) was a huge win in my book!

In all, this is a great guide for newbies to NetGalley, as well as those of us who need a refresher! Great job NetGalley!

This guide is very useful!! I look forward to implementing these tips when giving my reviews and growing my social media page.

Thank you net galley. After reading this guide and taking notes I feel like I’m ready to really start a blog for reviews as well as make a TikTok for my books reviews. The guide gave me lots of ideas and thoughts

I still consider myself a newbie to NetGalley and found the guide to be very helpful. It was easy to follow and links made it easy to go deeper according to my personal needs. Thank you for this informative and well constructed guide, I am sure to return to it from time to time.

This is such an amazing tool for people who are just getting into the books & social media community. This guide includes a lot of great tips for how to grow your platform and awesome suggestions for other apps that help with creating content. I definitely would recommend this to people who are new to the community or need a a beginners guide!

The toolkit is very useful for new users or existing users. The contents are explained in an organized way and with pleasing graphics. I loved that links have been given incase someone need tips in depth.

Thank you Netgalley for creating this amazing toolkit!

Great resource for anyone who wants to help promote books/authors. Lots of information and tools listed - for a newbie or a seasoned pro. The format is also very user friendly and easy to read.

Very informative to help be a better book advocate. I definitely see some tips and tricks I can use to make my reviews better and help in promoting authors.

This toolkit was very useful, even for someone who has been actively involved in the social media book world for a few years.

A couple of things I really loved about this guide were the organization and design of things. All the content was organized really well. It was broken down into specific ways to use social media and from there into specific social media channels. It was very easy to follow all the information and tips that were given because of this. The design also lent to the easiness of the guide. While the guide was cute and eye-catching, the design made it to where the eye was easily and smoothly guided through the information provided.

I also really appreciated the links to extra information and research that could be conducted if so desired. It made it to where any book advocate could find more information for the channel they needed extra assistance on without being overwhelmed with too much information on a million channels they didn't use.

Overall, I was very happy with this guide and will be utilizing some of the tips offered, especially those on hashtags!

I absolutely loved this handy little booklet on how to improve your bookish reviews and social media! I recommend it to everyone who has a NetGalley account, a bookish blog, or a bookish social media!

Nice guide to how to get started or restarted with NetGalley. However, a note about keeping personal and bookish social media might be a nice touch in further editions. I know that I try to keep my personal and bookish social media separate so I can focus on what needs yo be done.

As a long time user of NetGalley, I was glad to have the opportunity to use the Book Advocate Toolkit. Is is a very helpful overview on how to maximize your NetGalley account.

Thank you Netgally for providing this handy tool! I learnt so much and I’m ready to put it to action :)
