Really informative and helpful, I struggle to know how to write book reviews sometimes so having the reviewer's block resources is such a great addition for me

Not a book review, but a thank you to NetGalley for this Toolkit.

I have been using Netgalley for few years, and I know I am guilty of requesting too many books, and not having the time to actually read them.

What I especially liked is the information on how to take your book reviews further using platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

I also appreciated the tip on superimposing book covers on ereaders for posts. i have never thought to post when I have been approved to read something, I generally only post after, for the reason that the PDF on my iPad is not a very inspiring image...That will change now.

Lots of tips that I am trying to use in my reviewing of NetGalley books. Great advice on things that I should be doing, as well as things I should not be doing. Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for creating this toolkit. I enjoy writing book reviews but was looking to expand across different platforms and this guide was super helpful. I can’t wait to utilize some of the tips included. This book will be very helpful for new reviewers trying to get started or as a refresher for seasoned pros.

Netgalley's Book Advocate Toolkit really gave higher order help to me as a reviewer. I have struggled with clarity in reviews, bookstagramming, and requesting. So far I have set up a recurring reminder in my calender to both update my profile quarterly and check my reviews monthly. Super helpful! I'm also working on developing my own personal style of reviews emphasizing my background as a psychologist and medical educator.

I couldn't find the weekly email checklist link so maybe that could be clearer--I did read this pretty fast though and may have missed it!

Thanks Netgalley for preparing this Toolkit. I will be referring back to it often!

A useful fun guide to reviewing books on Netgalley. Useful for existing users as well as newcomers. This guide gives useful tips and different ways and options to review books.

This was beneficial in getting me started with sharing my reviews on different platforms. If possible, it would be interesting to explore review priorities for different genres in future editions. If, for example, fantasy and sci-publishers look for specific reader appeals separate from what a romance publisher would see.

„NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit“ ist eine großartige Einleitung in die Book-World. In einfachen visuellen Bits werden alle Grundlagen wie das Schreiben von Rezensionen und das Erstellen von Social Media Accounts für Bookstagram, BookTok, BookTube, usw. übersichtlich erklärt. Auch für Leser, die mit den Grundlagen bereits vertraut sind, können die praktischen und prägnanten Tipps des Toolkits praktisch sein.
Als neue Userin auf NetGalley konnte ich vor allem einiges über NetGalley selbst lernen. Bisher habe ich Rezensionen vor allem als Meinungsäußerung geschrieben, aber in diesem Toolkit habe ich gelernt, warum es wichtig sein kann, auch eine kurze Zusammenfassung des rezensierten Buchs anzufügen.
Da die Tipps alle sehr kurz gehalten sind, hat das Toolkit mir das Gefühl gegeben, jetzt auf allen Plattformen professionelle Accounts errichten zu müssen, obwohl ich dafür realistisch keine Zeit habe. In einer Neuauflage würde es mich freuen, wenn das „so KÖNNTEST du es machen“ größer geschrieben wird als das „so MUSS es gemacht werden“.
Vielen Dank an NetGalley, dass ich dieses Buch lesen durfte!

This was a great toolkit for new people to NetGalley. I did feel that something was missing. I wanted more on how to write a good book review for the people that use NetGalley to choose their books.

A very helpful guide to NetGalley for new reviewers. I especially liked that it gave guides for promoting on other platforms like Instagram, YouTube etc.

Ideally, they should make it that when you first sign up for NetGalley, this appears automatically on user's shelf.

Great little kit with some handy tips for posting, reviewing and getting approved. More info on Canva would’ve been handy as I struggle to use the app. The hashtag tips were especially useful.
