Helpful and Informative. For Readers who are new to NetGalley- I would certainly recommend this tool kit. What else can I say except that reviews require one hundred characters or more. This is a great way to read more and explore new authors and genres. Try it and enjoy. #netgalley #review #readmore

This was very helpful! Thank you for sharing these tips for free! I found the most helpful information to be how to get more “more popular” books to review. I will definitely make sure I tag the author AND the publisher in future review as well as linking my goodreads review to my Instagram review.

This book was a really nice primer of being new to NetGalley and how best to interact with the platform. It gave practical advice and ideas which I will definitely use going forward. This should be a must read for anyone joining the NetGalley ride!

What a great guide on how to start your book reviewing journey.

It covers all the do's and dont's along with how to improve your reviews on each platform.

If only there was more time to read all the books.

This is a super helpful resource for those new to NetGalley as well as seasoned reviewers looking for a refresher. I am a victim of the “request spree” when I first joined NetGalley, and I wish I had this available to follow when I first joined.

Thank you NetGalley, I will absolutely come back to this for all the tips and tricks.

This toolkit is just what I needed to start my bookish journey. I look forward to diving deeper into its contents. But on initial review, it's a gem of a resource.

Helpful for those new to NetGalley. And good for those of us who've been here for awhile to refer back to.

This is a very helpful toolkit! Thank you, NetGalley, for preparing it and sharing it with your Book Advocates.

Exactly what a book reviewer needs to get started sharing their love for books online. Not just how to get ARCs but how to review them on social media!
Tips like not tagging authors in bad reviews, not going on a request spree, and more are all necessary for the beginner and even veteran book reviewer to know in this new world of book influencers.

As someone that is just diving into reviewing and getting serious about it this is great! It helped me decide the platforms that are the best for me and what I am wanting to do. Would be really interested in detailed guides for each platform.

A fantastic beginners guide not only to using Netgalley but to being a book influencer. Netgalley's Book Advocate Toolkit covers how to create a Netgalley account and follows it up with instructions on requesting books including tips for the process. I'm a big fan of the reiteration of the tip "avoid the request spree."
I found the sections discussing social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and Youtube) particularly helpful as someone looking to do book reviewing on a larger scale than Netgalley and Goodreads.
I really appreciate Netgalley creating this guide and everyone looking to do book reviews online should give it a read.

5 stars. Very helpful for people starting out in reviewing ARCs. The toolkit is very helpful to learn how best to review and promote the novels that you are issued ARCs of. Thank you NetGalley!

This Toolkit was easy to follow and very helpful! It has information and suggestions beyond just social media. I am creating a blog and it gave me good insight into what I may want to add.

This is an amazing toolkit. It provides a lot of info about how to set up a Netgalley account and gives tips on the basis of the social media. It is simple to read and the graphics make it even more interesting.

Love this toolkit! It is incredibly thorough, user-friendly, and filled with some great information on how to get started as a new user on Netgalley. Not only that, it provides some great resources on how to utilize social media and sites like Canva to grow your platform. Also, it gives some great tips on content planning and staying organized. If I had to add anything else to the organization tips, I would also suggest Notion! I love using it to keep track of my TBR list, notes from books I'm currently reading, and book review drafts.

Thank you, Netgalley!
