Very helpful and informative. I didn’t realise that you should tag the publisher and netgalley on twitter
Thank you NetGalley for the toolkit! This was filled with great advice on not only writing reviews but also navigating social media accounts and getting approvals for reviews.
A short and simple read for any reviewer whether they’re a veteran or a newbie!
This toolkit was quite useful and I am glad I took the time to read it. It is comprehensive and allowed me to both refresh my memory on the things I already knew and learn new things.
Thank you NetGalley for the toolkit.
This book from net galley was very useful for me! I was able to read and understand how to best use this website to the best of my ability. I loved all the tips it gave me and I’m looking forward to putting them to good use. Thanks bet galley!
A comprehensive overview of book reviewing, both specific to NetGalley and book reviewing in general, “NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit” covers everything from the basics of setting up accounts to techniques to bolstering engagement. I appreciated the space spent on distinguishing between the aims and benefits of each social media platform. So much time is often spent discussing how to succeed on each platform but rarely do guides and forums discuss what platform to divert one’s attention towards. Although so much material was covered, if one pursues book reviewing they will need to supplement this guide with other material, for nuance is lost where brevity is gained. Ultimately, this is an easy to understand, accessible guide that is great for those starting a reviewing platform or express initial interest in doing so.
Thank you to NetGalley for this toolkit!
This is a great quick overview on Netgalley and how to make your profile look attractive to book publishers as well as writing helpful reviews. It was useful to give me tips on how to effectively use my account and how to increase my social media reach.
Thanks to NetGalley for this book. I am new to NetGalley, so this guide was quite helpful to understand how to get ARCs and what publishers are looking for. This short pdf brings a lot to the table and would be helpful for any NetGalley member.
This is an absolutely fantastic guide. I picked it up thinking I probably wouldn't see much new, but maybe it would be a good refresher. But yeah, I actually learned stuff, haha. This is really comprehensive and gives tips for using different platforms. The formatting is attractive and makes reading easy and enjoyable. Thanks, Netgalley!
This is a great overview of how best to write a book review. It includes a lot of tips on writing reviews for different media platforms and is well-worth a read for anyone who would like to have their reviews noticed or who would like to be involved in writing reviews for a blog.
This was incredibly helpful. As a newcomer to NetGalley, I found myself a little unsure of where to begin. This is the perfect guide for making the most out of NetGalley and all its resources.
NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit. I’m a newbie to NetGalley and have been overwhelmed by the amount of action that goes on in the site. After stumbling through my first review I thought “there’s got to be a better way” – and there is. I was working hard instead of working smart.
This short 31 page document has all the ins and outs, hows and whys, when and wheres that you’ll need to review books without stress.
You learn how to prioritize and meet the publisher’s criteria. What’s a hashtag and how to use them effectively? How to grab your audience. What if you have a critical review? Posting to Social Media and specific audiences. The 80% rule is your friend.
This is a great resource for anyone who isn't quite sure what their book reviews and feedback should look like.
Lots of great tips and advice that will go a long way. Can't wait to put these tips to good use.
I really recommend this it’s got so many helpful tips I am new to NetGalley so this is such a big help full of tips and suggestions
Some really helpful ideas and great reminders on reviewing and supporting new authors and new titles.
Really helpful for getting started on NetGalley. Lots of great ideas for reviewing and using social media to promote titles and reviews.
This was really helpful. I appreciated the easy-to-read layout and accessible information. Looking forward to applying what I've learned in my social media accounts and book reviews.
Great ideas for bettering your reviews and feedback ratio. I never thought of some of these small things. Looking forward to putting some into practice.
Very helpfull! I often find myself struggling when I'm reviewing a book, since I find reviewing in English (not my first language)sometimes very challenging.
Great tips! I love how they separated the types of social media and gave examples of how to include publishing agencies and authors within the type of social media you use.
This toolkit is extremely helpful for someone who is starting to be an active NetGalley reviewer. The content is to the point, with graphic examples useful for beginners like me. I find the dos and Don'ts especially helpful for engaging on different social media platforms. Thank you so much for this book, and I will keep it in mind as I review and share.
