I found NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit to be very useful. It serves as both guidance for those starting out reviewing/blogging as well as a refresher for those that have been at it awhile. My thanks to NetGalley for giving me an inside peek at this useful advice!

Wonderful guide to getting started on NetGalley. I’ve been on NetGalley for a couple years now and I still found this super helpful! I’ve been debating starting a Booktok and this had several great ideas.

A handy tool for newcomers and veterans: NetGallery's Book Advocate Toolkit!

A couple of authors I know along with friends had told me about NetGallery. They knew how much I love reading and books and so they recommended that I create an account on NetGallery. I'm new to NetGallery, and found this a win-win. I get to read a wide variety of books while making a difference by writing my reviews/opinions.

Thus, I found this tool kit to be really helpful. Is full of useful tips and ideas that can help anyone in all levels ranges in navigating in using that gallery. I highly recommend using this tool kit to anyone!

This book was a great starting point to understand how NetGalley is designed to work and run. I appreciated the background on reviews and the process, and how to understand what the publisher or author is looking for in their reviewers!

Looooooove this so much! I have always been a big reader, and then I discovered NetGalley, and my life changed. I really enjoy being able to give publishers and authors feedback for all of the amazing work they do. This guide helped guide me on how to provide that feedback in a helpful, respectful manner!

Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish for this ebook ARC!

This was a great little guide. The book is useful and a great idea! It is written in a very readable format. I think they should always keep this book in the Read Only section of Netgalley so that everyone can always access it (or maybe they do, but I check that section regularly and had not seen it until recently.) Most of the info was basic but I did get some ideas on some things to add to my Netgalley profile from reading the book. And it has some good basic social media info at the end of the book.

A great collection of information on all things book reviews! A lot of this information is widely available online, as I have done internet sleuthing about Netgalley and reviews before but it's nice to see it all collected in one clear and concise space! It's definitely a great tool for beginner book reviewers and I will be using some of the strategies outlined within it!

Thank you for the tool kit. I have a bookstagram, however, with these tips, I may start more than one social media review channel. I really liked the checklists with what needs to be in a review. I will keep it with me in order to provide better feedback on the books I read. I would like a kit like this to be able to bring my approval ratio back up.

This is a must-read for ALL NetGalley users. New reviewers will find it particularly helpful as it lays out the best way to write reviews and how to share your books reviews on social media.

I appreciated how easy the toolkit was to read. It was laid out in a logical order, contained several graphics, and flowed from page to page.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the DRC.
