NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit
by We Are Bookish

Thank you so very much, NetGalley for this very useful toolkit! I know after printing it, I will indeed use it. The PDF was a great thing. I can know review more in tune with what I need and want to in the review of a book. Some days I KNOW I could and should review a book better. What a great help, and one I will use all of the time.

This is a great starter guide to how to use NetGalley in conjunction with your own social media. I like that it had such an accessible approach, assuming no prior knowledge on the readers part. The guide even goes so far as to cover hashtags and suggestions for finding ones unique voice. I also liked that the guide mentions the nicknames readers have given the bookish parts of social media, such as Bookstagram and BookTok. Truly the beginners guide.

This is a great toolkit to help navigate NetGalley and how to keep everything up to date! This gives you great information on how to request, when to request and simple do's and don's for social media and reviews!

Very helpful! Thank you, NetGalley! This is especially informative given the upcoming updates to the app.

This guide is the perfect refresher course for requesting books on NetGalley that includes tips and suggestions for giving great book reviews. I especially liked seeing the list of platforms that can be used to share book reviews. Thanks, NetGalley.

The Toolkit is a brief read but packed with information on the NetGalley process as well as many helpful tips on improving reviews and expanding social media use. I will definitely be putting lots of these ideas into practice!

What a great PDF! Even though I've been on NetGalley 2 years now, this was still a great refresher. And for new users, this is the perfect starting guide to help you understand the platform and suggests great tips and tricks on how to improve your profile and get the most out of your account.

This was incredibly helpful! I've struggled for months on what to include in my NetGalley bio. I've read random tips online to use it like a resume for publishers, but had no idea how to develop a bookish resume. This toolkit and all of the inserted links helped me put together a profile that I think finally gives publishers the type of information they're looking for. I also loved that it includes tips for sharing reviews across multiple social media platforms, and apps that can be used for editing photos and videos relating to book reviews. I wish I had come across this book sooner!

This was a very helpful guide for getting started with NetGalley. I can also see it coming in handy in the future when I need a refresher on writing reviews.

I found it interesting and useful. It´s a short guide, but you can find links in case you would like more information. I think it was a good to creat this Toolkit to help the reviewers. Thank you Netgalley.

Lo he encontrado interesante y útil. Es una guía corta, pero puedes encontrar enlaces en caso de que quieras más información. Creo que ha sido una buena idea crear este Toolkit para ayudar a gente que hace reseñas. Gracias Netgalley.

I requested this book in hopes of getting advice on setting up a profile. I didn't really feel like there was a lot of info on this topic. There were a lot of tasks about how to keep your profile ratio high, and there was also repeating information.

This would def be good for someone starting out but I have been with Netgalley since 2011 and there really wasn't much to benefit someone like me.

This toolkit was really helpful as a newbie in the world of requesting books. The toolkit provides a lot of tips on how to up your chances in receiving a requested book and how best to reach as many people as possible with your reviews. I have held my Goodreads account for years but have never mastered the art of providing quality reviews and successfully networking but thanks to this toolkit, I feel much more confident and am super excited to start this journey!

I found this to be quite informative and helpful. Definitely a lot of tips and tricks I'll keep in mind in the future.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this toolkit.
I found it informative and really useful as I begin my journey of reviewing books on NetGalley!

An interesting read with some good tips for reviewing! I'll definitely keep some in mind in the future to help build my feedback in a more constructive manner.

This book is actually really helpful. To be honest, I am horrible HORRIBLE at sending reviews. I never knew what to type. I always felt like i typed too less but this book really helped me. If you’re planning to be a “professional” at book blogging. You should read this atleast once.

What a great way to get beginners started on NetGalley! I really appreciate and admire the content within, and will be putting it into use!

Coming from the perspective of an aspiring book reviewer, this was a super helpful guide! It outlined the most popular platforms for book reviews and connecting with fellow bibliophiles as well as all kinds of tips and tricks to help you find your unique space to grow and share your content. Will definitely be referencing this guide in the future as I develop my own style of expressing my love of books and would recommend it to anyone looking for advise on promoting a book or related content!

I really enjoyed reading this NetGalley toolkit.

It was very helpful and included a lot of useful information, including:
- tips for requesting NetGalley books and keeping your feedback ratio high
- creating book reviews for various formats (e.g., blog, YouTube, Instagram, etc.)
- social media tips and strategies

I particularly enjoyed the strategizing and accessibility sections! There were a couple of formatting issues I found, such as deleting extra spaces, but overall I really liked the format of the toolkit.

I recommend this to anyone just starting out on NetGalley or who is looking to improve their experience on this platform.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free review copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great guide for both new and established netgalley reviewers. It is full of information, ideas and tools to help you have the best experience possible with all of the publishers and books available to request.
