I learned quite a bit from this toolkit. It helped me to identify things I could improve upon in a concise and informative format. Glad to have this to refer back to as well as I hope to continue implementing new ideas and improving. Thank you to NetGalley, this was definitely worth the read!

Wonderful toolkit! Wish it existed when I joined NetGalley a year ago, but I was still able to find some useful information here. This will be super handy for new users and those who are comfortable with one platform but are thinking about creating a profile on another one. Highly recommended!

An excellent toolbox with helpful reminders and hints. Something I will refer to on a regular basis as a reminder on some of the basics. There are a lot of articles to click as well and I need to go back to further explore those. Thank you NetGalley. This is extremely helpful!

Very helpful tips

I downloaded this book without high expectations. I've been using netgalley for a few years, and this seemed to be more geared towards newbies. However, I love this short toolkit! There are so many helpful tipps, so I will definitely go back to this from time to time. Well done, thank you for these tipps!

Really helpful guide. I'm new to NetGalley but I would like to grow an Instagram book reviewing page and this has really helped. Also, has good links to other articles which I didn't know about from the general website.

I much prefer to read everything on my Kindle than on my phone, so it would be great if this could have been in a format where it could be sent to a device.

Thanks for this guide, really enjoyed it as an introduction.

Very helpful guide! Gave me great ideas for my bookstagram account. Lots of things I did not know about how to make my page clearer with a better audience

A collection of useful tips that will be helpful for beginning book bloggers and reviewers. The content is well organized and the use of simple visuals adds to both the readability and interest.

This is a comprehensive resource of tips and tricks for becoming a book reviewer (or becoming a more effective book reviewer). Topics covered include getting started on NetGalley, how to write a good review, and different social media platforms with book-centric subcommunities like Bookstagram and BookTok.

I've been reviewing for a while now and I feel like I had to slowly figure out a lot of this stuff on my own. This download is very helpful. The information is organized into short, easy-to-understand snippets. Thank you so much for creating this!

Great pamphlet, thank you you sharing. Will definitely put some of the tips to use moving forward. Thank you netgalley!

This is such a helpful tool for book reviewers looking to expand across different platforms or improve their reviews. I love how the information was organized – it was engaging, informative, and cute! I also appreciate how the guide hyperlinks additional resources we can look into for topics we are particularly interested in. Thank you, NetGalley!

An interesting bundle of information whether you are a veteran reviewer or beginner. It's a very concise document that is pretty on the eyes and good for the brain.

*SPOILER FREE* I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to become part of the NetGalley community. Provided great advice on how to get start with your account, how to request books and keep your rating high on NetGalley ( which increases your chances of getting selected for books you want to read), and how to start a social media and blog site, and much more. I found the do's and don'ts of being a proper NetGalley user most helpful.

Thank you! I appreciate this document consolidating tips useful for those of us who advocate for books and request, read and review books via NetGalley. There is actually more than 30 pages of content since many topics also have a link for "more tips".

Thank you, We Are Bookish, for this guide! For someone like me who had just joined this platform earlier this month and who is fairly new to the book blogging/reviewing community in general, this was a helpful, concise guide. It covers the technicalities of reviewing books, exploring the basics of NetGalley, as well as promoting bookish sites and platforms! Many of these strategies be incorporated to how I approach NetGalley and other platforms going forward.

This guide helped me so much with my review and how to promote them. I hope to keep improving as I read more ARCs and make my way as a reliable reviewer.

Great advice for new NetGalley members and for anyone who's reviewing books! Covers many aspects of the book reviewing process - starting from requesting/reading books from NetGalley, to crafting good reviews, to sharing your thoughts to others on social media and online platforms.

This is a concise, accessible, and well-written informational guide that shows the ins and outs of using NetGalley to its full potential; and even details tips and tricks for writing book reviews, as well as creating and maintaining reviewing platforms. This also covers content planning and different apps we can use to create or edit creative content to post on social media.

As someone who is brand new to the Bookstagram community (I began my journey in the beginning of 2022) and is thinking about creating a book-themed blog, this toolkit is definitely something I can see myself going back to and referencing in the future. Formatted in a way that makes learning fun, including with colourful and comprehensive graphics, it’s very well organized in four different categories: NetGalley Tips, Book Reviews, Bookish Social Media, and Strategizing.

I found this to be very helpful in how to write reviews and what to include and not include in order to catch others' attention; and I appreciate how there are relevant online resources being hyperlinked directly in the text for convenient access. But I would be thrilled if there was a more in-depth version of this guide. For example, I felt that are missing examples for what you mean by social media platform stats and which ones are important to publishers; to see more information or examples of reviews that catch publishers’ eyes; and guidelines for how to handle reviews for books I didn’t quite connect with.

This was extremely helpful, and can be applied to those new to NetGalley or those experiences who are looking to polish some skills. In addition, this information is applicable to multiple platforms and media, therefore is useful for a variety of audiences!

Focusing on how to enhance NetGalley bios, reviews, and engagement, this Toolkit provided a variety of tips and tricks for success. For those hopeful to increase approvals or audience, this is a great toolkit to start with.

I do wish there was a bit more detail on reviews, and particularly when to review (for example, I’m approved in March for an August release; do I share that review now or closer to the publication date, or both?). However, recognizing that some preferences are publisher specific.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the opportunity to read and provide feedback on this Toolkit, I certainly appreciate the opportunity!

Thank you for these advice ! I got great tips to do thing well on Bookstagram but also on NetGalley ! Also, I got a tutorial how to use Canva with this book and it's really Useful !

This is an wonderful resource! I wish I had this Toolkit when I first began my bookstagram. However, it is always nice to brush up these tips. Thank you so much Netgalley and We Are Bookish for more copy of Netgalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit.
