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.

There's a lot of good information in NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit. I was hoping to learn more about online presence, hashtags for the technically challenged and I appreciated the additional links for more information. The Do's and & don't were nice. This was a quick read with good suggestions on how to be successful at reviewing.

Thank you, NetGalley and Bookish, for providing me with this book and tips, so I can provide better reviews.
