Informative and helpful! An easy to read toolkit, with information that is beneficial to new to NetGalley users or even as a refresher to seasoned users.

Not a bad little guide for would-be reviewers. This isn't considered a book, and it's available only to NetGalley members. Goodreads now calls it Not A Book, so we can no longer review it there.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a quick read full of helpful tips about all things NetGalley and book reviewing. It is primarily geared towards people who are either new to NetGalley or new to the different platforms available for book reviews. However, even seasoned pros are likely to learn something valuable here. I have been writing long-form book reviews on my WordPress blog for a few years, and I started a BookTube channel less than one year ago, yet I still made note of some helpful tips to incorporate for both. My personal weakness is with sharing my reviews on my social media channels, and for that I expect this toolkit will be especially beneficial!

I would recommend this toolkit for anyone who is just getting started or for anyone who wants to freshen up their book reviewing space.

Really good for when you’re getting started on netgalley/bookstagram. It’s given me a lot of tips for going forward

A nice one-stop place to find and introduction to the both basics of NetGalley and some helpful tips for upping your book review game outside of NetGalley. This is worth a peruse for total NetGalley newbies, anyone that's only been on NetGalley a year or two, or anyone thinking about starting their own book blog, BookTube channel, etc.

Thanks Netgalley and We Are Bookish for making this toolkit! I think this is a great resource for those who are just starting out with Netgalley and the bookish internet, but I think it was a bit lackluster for those who have been using these platforms for a while. I liked that this kit talks about what to include in your Netgalley profile and how to write better reviews. This is definitely a good toolkit to check out!

I thought this was an excellent guide to Netgalley, it offered a lot of great information as to how to write reviews as well as how to set up my profile for maximum opportunities.

Thanks for this toolkit! I have been reviewing on NetGalley for a while but it was helpful to have a place to review what I'm doing, what works best, and how to set myself up best for approvals in the future. I thought the visual format and reviews of how to most effectively set up different platforms was particularly helpful. Now to heed the advice not to go on requesting sprees and get that percentage up!

I found this toolkit guide for NetGalley users useful and visually well presented. There is such an abundance of information out there on using social platforms that concise documents, highlighting key things to consider, are always welcome. While I was already familiar with some of the information provided, this document is a great refresher. I was reminded about useful tips I had forgotten about and also picked up completely new tips. The fact that several links are included, so you can read further on particular areas of interest, is great and really increases the benefits gained by reading the toolkit. Well worth the read, thank you!

An excellent guide - I have picked up some tips on how to improve and even some things I would have never thought about before reading the guide. Thank you NetGalley!

I’ve been looking to improve my reviews for NetGalley. I have done my profile and think this is actually my 200th review. Amazing! This guide provided me with those extra tips I was really looking for. This is what was most helpful to me:
1. Focus and Gain the Readers Attention Early. Then describe your points and finish with a summary.
2. Don’t use too many emojis. This does seem obvious, but I know I have written reviews that I thought were quite clever using lots of emojis to explain the book. It is not helpful.
3. Don’t use special fonts, bold, italic, or underline. This takes away from the publisher reading the review. That I did not realize.

Keep updating your bio. This I have been unsure about how much information to give. The book gave tips about this and even better additional NetGalley links.

So, thank you NetGalley and We are Bookish for a Copy of this Book. I appreciate your advice.

A wonderful piece of information all about how to start publicising your netgalley new books you've received or book reviews. Great colour schemes and easy to understand. It should be available to every new reviewer who begins with netgalley

Even if you have been using Netgalley for sometime it is well worth reading this. A perfect reminder on Do's and Don't's when using and writing reviews. Also, a gentle reminder of the book requesting spree which I'm sure we have all been guilty of at some time.
Shows a very informative way of how to spread the word when reviewing on different platforms.
Many thanks to Netgalley for a copy

Very helpful. Sometimes you get a little complacent in your book reviews. Nice toolkit for refreshing your ideas and helping new reviewers, as well.

Very helpful guide for beginners like me! I will definitely take these tips into consideration.
The use of graphics helped me stay hooked and not skip over most of the text (I could've missed something important). It gives excellent tips not only for the Netgalley platform but also for social media sites such as instagram, TikTok, twitter and YouTube.

This is a good reference for beginners, but there are some symbols that are attached to my reviews that I don't know why their there. For instance there is a paperclip attached to some of my reviews and I don't know why its there. Also, it would be great if there was a diagram that shows exactly how to get a link from reviews on Goodreads from. a iPad. Also, it would be nice to see a diagram on how to share a review to Twitter from my iPad mini because I couldn't find the twitter symbol anywhere after I wrote my review.

Great tool to help get started! Hadn’t even realised how many review platforms there were! Definitely would recommend!

A super helpful guide for beginners to get started on NetGalley. It has detailed steps to explore and make use of all the features available on this portal. Not just NetGalley, it has instructions and tips for growth on other platforms as well. It cover almost all mediums available to book reviewers/content creators to grow their bookish channels/account in an authentic way. I found everything helpful for my bookstagram account as well. Can't wait to implement the tips mentioned here. Thanks for this insightful guide!

This guide was really helpful and full great insight, not only for new members on Netgalley, but also for bloggers, and anyone looking to review books on social media. Everything about this toolkit, from content to looks was appealing and well laid out. I’ve been able to refer back to sections, specifically the bookstagram one, if I need help or ideas.

Thank you for this guide!!! This is the book that you didn't realize that you need until you get it. I have been on NetGalley for a year and I am always looking for ways to make my reviews more interesting. If you are a reviewer, then this book is for you. It will help help elevate your write-ups. I highly recommend all NetGalley users to download this book.
I want to thank NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
