A great guide for people new to NetGalley or people like me who may have been using NetGalley for a while, but want to up their book advocacy game.

I will be using this book to help me with my social media presence to support books I love.

Es handelt sich hierbei um eine gute Einführung in das Rezensieren bei NetGalley und auch der Verwendung von sozialen Medien um Bücher zu besprechen. Sehr empfehlenswert für den Einstieg bei NetGalley. Zu beachten ist dabei dass das Büchlein auf Englisch geschrieben ist, es handelt sich aber um ein einfaches Englisch welches leicht verständlich ist.

Great tips presented in a very nice format. I recommend skimming it before requesting your first ARCs as this will provide great direction.

I love this toolkit! I wish I'd had it when I first started with NetGalley and didn't have a clue as to what I was doing. I initially messed up with what I should or shouldn't have in my profile. As in COMPLETELY messed up!

I very much appreciated the part about "making a sandwich" when struggling with reviewer's block - but I think the best thing I got out of reading the toolkit was finding out about the BookTwitter community. I hope this will enable me to expand my platforms and also to connect with more NetGalley readers.

Lastly, I can only hope that the reviewers who copy and paste the publisher's entire description of a book read the part that states "Use 1-2 sentences to give readers a brief overview" (of the plot). Ha!

This is a brief helpful guide packed with ideas for writing various types of reviews. I love the visual nature that makes it more readable and engaging than many guides of this type.

Thais guide was so helpful in getting started with NetGalley. It takes you through the basics of setting up your NetGalley account and prepares you to go off into all the corners of the Internet to talk about books. What could be better than that? I used this guide to optimize my first bookstagram post and I am very happy with the level of engagement I got!

Greatly appreciated and welcomed - plenty of tips and tricks and advice. Appreciate the hints for accessibility when reviewing.

Lovely and to the point advice! I like that they talk about accessibility for the readers audience; but a nice note when stressing consistency is to understand that disabled reviewers don’t have that luxury.

I've reviewed book on NetGalley for years now and learned so much from the well-presented, detailed guide on how to thrive and develop here. I wish I'd had this guide when I was first starting out, but am thrilled to have it now to further hone and deepen my reviews and participation in this amazing place. I received a copy of this book for free and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.

Brief, but excellent, guidebook for setting up your NetGalley account, requesting books, writing reviews, and social networking. I wish I’d read the book years ago, when I first got started on NetGalley. The advice to avoid requesting sprees is something I really need to try to follow. A must-read for anyone wanting to maximize their book reviewing experience. #BookAdvocateToolkit #NetGalley
