I enjoyed this easy-to-read and visual toolkit.
It gives great tips on writing reviews, do's and dont's and also highlights the many different channels tl share book reviews. Important! Form your own voice in your book reviews, your readers will appreciate this.
I think future video toolkits would be a great idea. Thank you netgalley

Very helpful to setting up blogs on various social media formats - I will be taking some of the advice forward in setting up my Wordpress and Bookstagram blogs!

This was a very informative and helpful little read! I especially found the different tips for different review platforms extremely helpful, as sometimes it's hard to know how to review in various spaces.

I did find I was unable to follow any links listed, and I'm not sure if that was because I was reading this on my phone on the netgalley shelf, but I would have loved to have explored the extra information that was mentioned.

Overall, this was such a big help, even to someone who's reviewed books in various ways on a couple different platforms, and I look forward to putting some of the tips I learned to use!

A lovely and informative book, arranged in a clear to read design setting.
I am relatively new to NetGalley and reading books and posting book reviews, so I found this book(let) useful!
An easy read and might come in useful for people who are starting threat reading and online bookish journey.

Very useful for people who are just getting into review writing. Some things were new even for me, a long time reader and reviewer.

Nicely laid out bitesize guide with some good tips even for the experienced reviewer. Not all was applicable to me, as I find the very idea of TikTok, etc, faintly exhausting (I'm the old-fashioned Goodreads/Amazon only type) but I'm sure people who do use these platforms will find the advice helpful.

Worth a look.

This guide, full of practical advices and tips presented in easy to digest form, should be useful to any NetGalley user. I just wish ai could read something like this when I was a newbie, but still it is worth reading even if you are an experienced reviewer.

Thanks to the publisher, We Are Bookish, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.

The Toolkit is a great guide to start your online book platform in many forms. As I am only starting my bookstagram and am learning a lot about the platform, my style, how the algorithm works etc, I have found this toolkit to be super useful and packed with great tips how to start. I will probably come to those advices a few more times to create a habit out of them and boost my bookstagram account! Definitely recommend to anyone in the bookish community!

Excellent overview for readers new to NetGalley or wishing to expand to more reviewing or social media platforms. Brief guid to the various platforms, so you can consider what would work for you, even covering some free editing tools that are widely used in social media. Do’s and Don’ts are also very helpful for those of us who want to avoid putting our foot in it.

Excellent guide! I enjoyed reviewing the content on what to include and what not to include while writing a book review. Many helpful tips on posting photos and what hashtags to include.

Highly recommend to those just starting out with NetGalley and reviewing books on social media!

Excellent and concise!

I learned a lot from this guide and would surely use it well. I especially like and love the conciseness and beautiful format of this resource. Thank you!

This was a brief and concise “how-to” guide to help the average NetGalley user write better reviews and use social media to their advantage. I don’t use TikTok, etc so I did not find that part useful.

An excellent resource to ensure reviewers have the know how to share out reviews in the most effective way possible!

I'm not new to NetGalley, but I'm always looking for ways I can do my part to help expand my review reach and to make them better. This helped with that immensely. Its easy to read, easy to understand, and just the right length without being something you have to take time out and read. I'll refer back to this whenever I need help reviewing in the future. Honestly this should be given to every new NetGalley member!

This obviously isn't something my library will purchase, but this is a helpful guide for all of us on NetGalley!
