While I am new to NetGalley, I'm not new to reviewing books. This book had many tips and tricks that I wished that I had a year ago. The information is broken down by sections such as what to include in your profile, review tips and the various book communities across different platforms. While I've been aware of said communities, I've often felt intimidated by the amount of knowledge that was seemingly required to be a part of them.

One of the most helpful things I've found was tips for what NOT to do when sharing book reviews. While I thankfully haven't done any of that yet as far as I can tell, knowing what's good to do and not good to do will be helping me out a lot and everything will be feeling less like a trial and error process.

I received this book free from NetGalley.

I enjoyed this quick read. It was very informative and I will keep it so I can reference it when needed. It gave me lots of ideas of how to boost my chances of getting approved for more books!

I wish this book was published when I first started with NetGalley in 2017. However, I still learned a few new tricks. Thanks for publishing it!

This book does an excellent job of helping novice reviews be successful when it comes to setting up their blogs and book reviews. It goes into detail and gives dos and don'ts for each specific platform (insta, Twitter, tiktok, etc). The differentiation helps to reach all types of bloggers!

Awesome tips for fellow booklovers who are just starting out their book journey or someone like me who wants to come back to the blogging world. Straightforward, easy to understand, and has included on-point tips and topics a blogger needs to know and focus on as a beginner.

Well organized, easy to read guide loaded with tips to get started in NetGalley. I personally loved the visual style and many links to find out more info and plan to return to it often. May not be as accessible to non visual readers. #BookAdvocateToolkit #NetGalley.

This toolkit has a little bit of everything! From how to write book reviews to best practices for bookish social media, everyone in the bookish community can benefit from reading this. I learned a lot and use it as a quick reference for various things all the time.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy for an honest review.

Thanks so much for the guide NetGalley - I've been blogging for a few years but found this guide so informative and think it's something I will refer back to frequently. I've also bookmarked a few of the further reading articles to read at a later date too.

I love this guide! Well written and easy to read, exactly what we’re looking for in a toolkit. I feel ready to start confidently reviewing books.

Lots of other communications tips in there too which can be used in your general social media presence and feel like a bonus. Nicely illustrated Which I found makes it more engaging.

Highly recommend this to anyone starting or struggling with using NetGalley and reviewing books.

Thank you NetGalley!
