This toolkit is very useful and gives good tips on how to tackle the main obstacles a reviewer faces as a beginner. The book greatly focuses on reviewers whose audiences are found online in the form of Instagram, Youtube, a blog, etc., which is understandable. Nevertheless, I wish there were more tips to boost other reviewers profiles, even if they are a minority.
Really helpful for giving insightful and useful reviews. Plenty of good tips. I can see this being useful for someone newer to book reviewing but it has helpful advice for more experienced people too.
As designed, this helpful 'toolkit' will guide the 'new-to-NetGalley" and also some who have been at it for a while, to create good and better reviews as well as teach ways to disseminate these reviews in clever, fun and creative ways. Those reviewers who are more 'tech savvy' will be able to be even more engaging in being a book advocate extra-ordinaire. This through using their Blog, Bookstagram, YouTube, Booktoc, Twitter, hashtags and more. Give it a go!

Disclaimer: This is my honest opinion based on the review copy sent by NetGalley and the publisher.
This was helpful and will be used in future reviews. The information is easy to digest and there are a lot of great tips.
Thank you for this Gem, this is a wonderful guide for beginners. Reviewers should definitely have this guide in hand while writing, it's more than practical!
This is a really helpful tool that helps both the beginner and the more experienced book reviewer/ blogger get the most out of their NetGalley experience. I know I’ll be referring back to this regularly, and I’ve already used some of the tips. I wish I’d had something like this when I first started writing reviews. In fact, I’d go so far as to suggest that all new NetGalley users should probably be given a copy of this to get them started.
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!
Thank you Net Galley for this helpful guide! Very helpful, and I will put the information to good use.
I am super grateful for this book ! It has been so helpful in working on my netgalley profile. I love to
Read and I have been wondering if something was wrong with my profile because I wasn’t really getting advanced reader copies. This shows me step by step suggestions
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.
This was a great comprehensive guide,and I learned so much. I loved the way the information was presented, and will definitely put it to use!
A concise but very informative e-book, thank you NetGalley for creating this for all of us who wish to be the best book reviewers we can be! This book has an appealing format, the colors and design pop, and I learned a lot!
Great advuce, definitely ones I'll be remembering for the future - especially the one to update your profile every now and then!
This was a helpful insight for NetGallery. I was very happy with the information it gave. It gives me a better idea of how to post my review and ensures that it gets the information that is needed. Also, it helped give useful advice for NetGallery. This is great for all the new people that come to NetGallery. Thank you for this opportunity.
Thanks Netgalley! As a reviewer I'm always wondering what netgalley and publishers look for when approving books and how I can improve my profile. I also loved the tips for writing and sharing reviews.
Wow did I ever need this. I always thought my reviews could use some work. This toolkit puts all the information you need in a convenient digestible format
Netgalley"s Book Advocate Tool Kit!
