Book advocate toolkit?

Yes, please!

The Book Advocate Toolkit was a quick read, both clear and concise enough not to make it troublesome to get through. In fact, it had a lot of information that I found really interesting and helpful. Honestly, I think I'll probably come back to it often just for reference as I get further and further into the Netgalley wormhole.

5/5

As a new member, this toolkit by NetGalley and We are Bookish is extremely useful.

A very useful aspect is a look at social media platforms and how to layout your review based on those platforms, for example images and hashtags on Instagram and short live reactions to current reads on Twitter.

Not only are the contents incredibly informative, but the layout and content breakdown makes it very easy to use and will be a great reference as I continue my NetGalley journey.

I am a long time reader but fairly new to many forms of book related social media. I have been in a ton of book related Facebook groups for years but I only recently joined Instagram and TikTok and discovered the book communities on Twitter and YouTube. This was such a great resource for someone like me to get an overview of how all these spaces are used by readers. I enjoyed reading it and learned some super useful tips.

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for putting together this amazing Review Toolkit. If you are using NetGalley (or any type of review sites), you need to be using this kit! It's changed the way I write reviews for the better!

Even though I have been using NetGalley for a little while now, I found some tips really helpful. This Toolkit is broken down into four main parts: NetGalley Tips, Book Reviews, Bookish Social Media, and Strategizing. I was able to take away something from each section. I think my favorite thing about this toolkit is that in the Social Media Section, none of the different platforms are pushed as the better choice.

If you have ever wanted to start a book blog and wondered where to start- NetGalley is the place!

This comprehensive guide is the seminal text on how to establish your bookish brand and network with the publishers you already admire.

These 31 pages are a wealth of knowledge for fresh faces and refreshers alike.

Just like the advocate toolkit I'll keep this review short and sweet so you can spend more time pursuing your bookish passions.

Very informative. Short, concise and to the point. It's a good guide to get started on NetGalley and the book review sphere in general. I will say that some of the recommendations were kind of basic, but overall helpful.
