Gives lots of advice on how to create and maintain a social media presence as well as how to figure out how to word your posts. This guide helps you set up your reviews, how to hashtag them, and encompasses various media outlets and why they’re beneficial. It’s a really great tool for beginners!

I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of information contained in this Toolkit.

In 2022 I am planning to push further into the literary world, having started consistently reading and reviewing books last year.

NetGalley in general has provided me with an opportunity to read upcoming releases and feel more invested in the book community. This toolkit has given me a brief overview of what's typically expected, things that a casual reviewer like myself may have not known going into it. It helps to feel supported!

I very much appreciate the tips they have for creating review-type content on many social media outlets, things that some people may be unfamiliar with, or just how many options are out there!

This Toolkit offers something for everyone.

If you are just starting out with book reviewing, the tips in the kit are invaluable.

For the longtime reviewers, the kit offers lots of suggestions for different ways to go with your reviews: Bookstagram, BookTok, Instagram along with pointers for how to get started on each platform or site.

I liked the information about Hashtags and the many clickable more information possibilities.

Most readers and reviewers will find this very handy indeed.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC,

This book gave immediately-accessible advice to every Netgalley member for how to get our reviews written and seen. Really, not much else needs to be said. I wish this had been available when I started eight or so years ago. I know social media wasn't as big a part of things back then, but it might have prevented my requesting sprees I went on every time I came back from each illness. I'm still trying to figure out how to come back from a 37% Feedback Ratio. Thanks for this valuable tool!

This was a really helpful and informative guide when it came to starting my journey on NetGallery. The information was easy to follow and appealed to me on multiple levels as I was interested in getting started and showcasing my book reviews on my blog and across social media and Goodreads.

I feel the Feedback Ratio could be explained more as I had to Google how this worked on a deeper level, the guide provides a more surface level view and I feel a bit more of an in-depth explanation would help newbies like myself.

Overall I was satisfied with this guide and will be referring to it in the future.

Nice, accessible presentation of helpful tips for maximizing all the wonders of NetGalley. Thank you!

Super helpful guide! It provided plenty of information in an easy to read format. I was worried that it'll be like a typical manual, with the typical small font dense paragraph form, but it's all simple/clean infographics.

I also like how it provided links to articles for a more in depth guide on how to set up a blog/Tiktok/Instagram/etc. It even provided ideas for how to edit images, how to use hashtags, and accessibility (which is greatly appreciated, as I think it's something that's often forgotten).

Since I'm brand new to Netgalley and the online book community, I was a bit apprehensive on how to start a blog/Instagram, how to write reviews, and what is expected of me, so this guide really answered all the questions and I feel more confident starting out!

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for releasing this book advocate toolkit. I recently made the mistake of requesting too many items, but have since learned my lesson. It is difficult not to over request items since I want to read all the books, but only need to read a few at a time.
I clicked a bunch of links to check things out as I lack creativity and have no clue how blogs come to be, I just read/follow a few. I am on bookstagram and have been for quite some time, but I stumbled upon booktok a few months ago and added a few new authors and genres to my read and to be read shelves.

I do all I can to get people to read. You can get outside and enjoy the day while you read a good book under a tree. Sometimes digital copies are preferable, like if you are by the pool, lake, tub, or beach.
