Thank you NetGalley for this helpful guide! This covers a bit of everything - creating your profile, writing reviews, posting on social media, photo editing, and accessibility. Folks who have been in this space a while might already know the majority of the information, but I think everything can take something away from this.

I've come to expect that We Are Bookish's guides are going to be very well designed, and this one was no exception. A lot of good info in here that I wish I had known earlier about NetGalley (R.I.P. my feedback ratio) and some good tips for setting up a review blog, insta, or tiktok. Nicely done.

This toolkit is a great little guide showing the ins and outs of using NetGalley. Some of the items covered are how to write a review, tips on posting on most social media platforms, taking great photos, etc. I would imagine this is mainly aimed at new users, but I have been on NetGalley for a year and a half and I still picked up a couple tips, so great job!

This toolkit was so helpful! I have been using netgalley and Instagram for a long time now and still took awake new information from this! I would recommend this to everyone using netgalley and social media. Such a great thing to keep on hand as well!

A great toolkit got newbies and veterans alike! This guide provides advice on how manage arcs, write great reviews and make a good impression to publishers when requesting books.

This is very helpful information. I feel like this will help me to be more successful both on NetGalley and my Bookstagram page. Thank you NetGalley!

This had a lot of great advice and I will definitely use this as a resource. I think this is a great guide for any user but especially beginners to the site. I wish I would have this as a tool all together when I first joined.

I personally have been doing this for about 6 months and even though I felt confident in how I publish reviews, this wonderful toolkit helped me tune & refine what I already do which I loved! It doesn't matter if you're new at this, an intermediate user or advanced, anyone & everyone can take something away from this.
And I will now try my best not to do a request spree 😂

Very very helpful booklet of what to post, how to post, where to post….tips and suggestions for reviews and all around general advice. Which I had found it when I started doing reviews.

This is an excellent toolkit not just for new reviewers but also a good refresher for people who have been posting reviews/requesting ARCs for some time. Easy to follow and very useful. Thanks.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit
by We Are Bookish

Synopsis: This is an informational packet that details tips and tricks for writing book reviews as well as creating and maintaining reviewing platforms. This Toolkit also goes into different applications one can use and content planning.

Review: Overall, I found this very informational. As someone who is fairly new to the Bookstagram community and is opening up to creating YouTube videos as well, this Toolkit was incredibly informational and is needed in the bookish community for those who are new to these types of topics. The graphics within added visual interest and the Toolkit was very well organized. This is definitely something I can see myself going back to and referencing in the future.

Thanks for the help NetGalley, this is a great reference for reviews and I’ll be looking back on it as needed

This book had some good tips! I did not even consider the accessibility of my posts and will make sure not to use font generators in the future. This was a great guide for someone just starting out.

Net Galley's Book Advocate Toolkit

I began my journey as a book reviewer in 2019. My experiences with Net Galley since joining in Summer, 2020 have been all positive. I've received so many wonderful advance reader's copies of books and audiobooks, with the opportunity to share my reviews. So, as a book advocate myself, I'm thrilled to review this toolkit. The resource offers guidance and increased knowledge in aspects of navigating Net Galley, writing reviews, and sharing reading experiences with the public.

We Are Bookish first welcomes us warmly as book advocates. Four categories are: Netgalley Tips, Book Reviews, Bookish Social Media, and Strategizing. As a retired educator, I appreciate how well-organized and comprehensive the kit is. Formatted in a way that makes learning fun, the content includes visuals, colors, information, and links. I learned so much about improving my reviews, sharing my content, and building my platforms. Tips for staying organized are very helpful, to allow for keeping up with reading, reviewing, and staying within the guidelines established by Net Galley.

In the final "What's Next" section, other resources from We Are Bookish are provided, with links to social media, a newsletter, and a website. All of these areas will be updated so that Net Galley users can stay up to date and current with the most recent information.

With two years of book reviewing under my belt, I am grateful for this kit and what it taught me. I highly recommend it to both beginning and experienced book advocates, so that we can all deliver the best possible information about books, authors, and publishers that we appreciate. My purposes in being a book advocate are promoting literacy, supporting authors and publishers, and sharing my joy of reading for both learning and fun. I'm grateful to Net Galley and We Are Bookish for the opportunities given to meet my goals.

Thank you to Net Galley and We Are Bookish for the advance reader's copy and the opportunity to provide my unbiased review.

Oh how I wish this was around when I started my NetGalley journey back in 2016. I'm 6 years in, and have made many mistakes along the way (ahem - requesting sprees). Now, I am focusing on correcting those mistakes, and really upping my NG game. This was a great refresher read for me, and is amazing for beginners!

A helpful guide to getting started. Suggestions and tips and tricks galore! I'm motivated to get started. This is going to be a fun journey.

This Toolkit was perfect for me at this point in my NetGalley journey. I found most helpful the tips for setting up my Profile and I feel my Profile is more on point now that I have utilized the info. I now understand Feedback Ratios and have set up my weekly NetGalley email. Details such as setting up Favorites for Publishers and being able to access Publisher Approval Preferences has helped me feel more knowledgeable and sure of myself as I get ready to submit my very first Request for an ARC (the other ARC I reviewed on NetGalley was a 'Read Now'!). I am not ready for my own blog just yet but have my NetGalley tool kit easily accessible to refer to as I continue reading and reviewing through NetGalley. As an avid reader for many years, I am so excited for this opportunity to access ARCs and be able to provide my insights on them.

This was very helpful and informative! It taught me a lot of things about NetGalley and how to use it! Would definitely recommend to everyone just starting out on NetGalley!

This is an excellent resource for novice and advanced reviewers alike to help ensure that your review game is on point. Thank you for such a useful tool to help with my endeavor to be a successful book reviewer.

I've just skimmed through this and it's a really great summary of how to be a book person online. It's great for a beginner but as someone who's been hanging around for about four years there was nothing new. That said, I wish it existed when I started out!
