This toolkit was extremely helpful is giving me a better understanding of the best ways to use Netgalley, including thing to avoid doing including request sprees which I am guilty of! This also gives information for running an bookstagram page as well as a booktok account. This is something I will look back on repeatedly.

Thanks for the information. This toolkit was pretty easy to read and understand. I don't know what else to write so here an extra sentence to complete the 100 characters

I loved the formatting of this Toolkit. It wasn't heavily text-based and it got to the point with each tidbit. It was well-organized and up-to-date on the most recent social trends and apps. It was beautifully designed with clear imagery and coloring. It was a quick read and I can definitely see myself turning back to it to look up advice!

Highly informative! I definitely wish this helpful guide had been around when I had originally started using Netgalley. Now I know better why I should not bulk request materials, which I am so guilty of! Happy learning!

This was a quick, informative overview over the different social media platforms used for reviewing and promoting books. This toolkit is most useful for anyone starting a bookish account, but it also has some tips for more experienced reviewers.

I was hoping this was going to give us more tools to use but it did not. I’d like more reminder tips since I read so many books plus Netgalley isn’t the only site I read for. Certain publishers will send you reminders but not all of them do. Then there are certain publishers who won’t give you a book regardless of what your profile says.

I am sorry to say that I am unable to access the book advocate toolkit as it is a pdf file, and I am only able to read kindle files. Many apologies as I did not realise this was the case. I am sure this is a wonderful resource for readers to improve their reviewing skills.

We Are Bookish has issued a helpful and informative guidebook for NetGalley reviewers. It is well put together and provides plenty of advice related to reviewing, whether on websites or through social media. It will make a great reference tool for reviewers. NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit has my recommendation.

Great format and all the info you could want to get started on social media channels.
Very well curated and concise, there is nothing that I found that could be added to this.

This is a book about how to be better at sharing the word and building a social profile for book reviewing. It's more for visual learners, and it has links. 

I'll be using some of the recommendations given and will begin working on my reviews. But I do know that each platform is extremely different and people are more likely to feel better on one than the other. It has suggestions for almost all social media platforms and websites, so if you want to start brand new, this is a very helpful guide for making the best book review platform you can have.
