This toolkit is quite short, but contains all the information you need to start reviewing on NetgGalley and set up your bookish blog. I didn’t find many useful things for myself, but only because I’ve been on bookish social media for over a year now and am not new to NetGalley either. Great if you’re only starting though!

A quick but useful read. I think it's more valuable to new members or those setting up social media platforms than anyone who is already established. However, everyone could pick up a tip or two.
Thanks NetGalley.

A really useful guide for making the most of NetGalley - lots of hints and tips that I will be using!

Overall a very helpful and informative read! I found lots of helpful tips for starting and sustaining a successful review account, though I found most of it centered on sites that I myself don't utilize as much. In the future, when revising this, I'd like more about book blogging and Goodreads in general, as I feel that is still one of the more primary ways people review books nowadays. It might be pertinent to mention other book reviewing apps like Storygraph as well!

The tips in this book really helped me understand some of the new trends. The suggested apps and steps to follow where helpful and easy to follow. Thanks for a starting place.

This was super helpful but I did wish it included more about what to put in your profile description for NetGalley.

Such a helpful toolkit! This had so much good information for tik tok, instagram, and blogs. Will definitely be taking away some advice from this. It made me so excited to get posting about books.

What an incredibly helpful and comprehensive guide! I'm a long time #bookstagrammer but took a step back from the space last year and am now getting back into it. This guide was full of helpful reminders and new to me tips about how to engage, create, and advocate for books. It really motivated me to start creating content and sharing about the books that I love!

This is an extremely helpful guide and reference book for those like me who are fairly new to NetHalley and bookish social media in general. I'm sure it's a book I will refer to again and again! Great idea!

This kit is filled with simple yet insightful tips on topics like polishing up your NetGalley profile, refining your book reviews, and promoting them on social media. Even though much of it isn’t new for me, since I’m an experienced reviewer who’s been hosting his own blog since the end of 2018 and his own podcast since March of 2021, I appreciated what it had to offer nonetheless. However, I’ve recently gotten involved in Bookstagram and have been trying to figure it out, so the kit’s Bookstgram tips were helpful in that sense. Make sure you check this out if you’re looking to fine-tune your own book reviews.

This will be a particularly helpful tool for new netgalley members. As a long-time member, i was hoping to gain greater understanding of the publishers’ selection process, but did not learn any new specifics (other than increasing my viability on social media).

Thanks for the handy information. Very useful for starting out on NetGalley and book reviewing. It would have also been nice for this to be available in kindle format.

Extremely helpful read especially for anyone who is new to NetGalley, leaving reviews or navigating bookish social media. I highly recommended it!

I received NetGalley's Digital Reader's Copy from Negalley written by We Are Bookish and published in March of 2022.

I am new to NetGalley and leaving official reviews. I have been an avid reader for decades leaving reviews here and there on other platforms, but when I heard about NetGalley I knew that it was something I really wanted to participate in. NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit was extremely helpful in giving tips and tricks to get started.

The book itself is easily downloadable and only 31 pages long. Inside you will not find long winded paragraphs on what you should and should not do. Instead, it is filled with creative quirky pages in a pleasing design. Word bubbles and checklists make consuming the various tips easy to read and understand.

Overall I found the tips very useful and will be employing them in future reviews.
