great resource on helping write an appropriate review. I appreciate the graphics, which are informative and easy to follow. the guidelines also don't seem so strenuous that your average casual reader will be overwhelmed and less enthused about reading and reviewing. thanks!

This is a really helpful guide, thank you. The insight is clear and it was a beneficial read that I’d like to recommend to other netgalley users. A clear, easy to follow user manual for readers looking to request and review upcoming releases.

Brilliant book, packed of tips for the keen book reviewer.

Especially helpful in regards to how to structure the review and the hashtag tips.

I would appreciate more information on networking & post promotion tips for bookish social media accounts in any future updates or new guides.

Thank you NetGalley!

Netgalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is an extremely useful guide for becoming involved with Netgalley. This guide explains and walks new members through starting book inspired social media accounts, and through navigating the system of Netgalley. Personally this guide helped me to begin a Bookstagram (Book Instagram). And I took notes on every part of this guide. I thought that it was very useful that the information was concise and short. However I also found myself wishing for more pages provided within the guide perhaps showing more detailed ideas for social media accounts. For example a list of ideas for Instagram posts. Overall I would recommend this toolkit for any beginner member of Netgalley, or for anyone who wants a brief informative guide to the site.

The guide also contains great tips on how to connect netgalley with social media. It covers Bookstagram, BookTok, and other platforms. The information was both easily accessible and helpful.

A supremely helpful getting started guide!

NetGalley has put together a clear (and colorful!) guide to help new users have a solid foundation on the platform. While it is focused heavily on the Reviewer role, they do discuss the other roles! This guide contains everything from how to overcome reviewer's block, to different types of social media posts. They even included a standard disclaimer you can use to met FTC's legal criteria!

A fun and fast-paced introductions to the world of book reviews, with tips for every type of reviewer. I particularly liked the breakdown of the different types of social media and what types of reviews were best suited for where.

A great toolkit for those new to the world of book reviews, and those who are wanting to up their game. The toolkit is well structured, written and provides a range of tips that are extremely useful for those using NetGalley, and other social media channels to write their reviews.

So glad I came across this prior to writing my first book review, as there will certainly be a lot of tips gathered from the toolkit that I'll be using.
