Really great and helpful intro to Netgalley! Collects a lot of the best material from the blog and organizes it in an attractive high-level way. Wish this resource had existed in this format back when I first signed up, it's a really great "boot camp" for folks new to NetGalley and the world of bookish social media!

This is such a useful guide, for newbies, old timers & for people that are in a review or social media block. This guide is not only useful for Netgalley but all bookish social media too.

This is a great little booklet! Although geared to those who are just starting out their NetGalley journey and trying to figure out the social media sphere, there are some useful reminders in there for those who have been doing it awhile. It's great that there are tidbits for every platform (blogs, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc).

Such a useful tool for netgalley newbies and even old timers who find themselves getting a bit stale. Fantastic to have such a resource available and especially one that will be updated with new features etc.

This is a very useful little guide for NetGalley and for book social media in general! I appreciated how it was organized by platform so I could easily find the information that was most relevant to my reviewing. I especially liked the tips about accessibility and hashtags.
I think this will be super helpful for anyone just getting started on NetGalley and it takes some of the mystery out of the process so it's less intimidating. Thanks for this resource!

A lot of this info I already knew, but I still appreciated learning a few things! I didn't realize you guys post hashtags I can use on the book info page. I will also try using more unique hashtags on Booksta from now on. I also didn't know to not use special fonts on my Instagram posts. This was a quick helpful read. Thanks for sharing!

This toolkit is a really fantastic resource to have for any new or even experienced Netgalley reviewer! Some of my favorite sections are….

-How to write a variety of reviews. For example, how to write a review when you’re having reviewer’s block! This is genius, as it happens to me frequently. I also found it helpful for quick tips on how to write an audiobook review and a critical review.

-The Dos and Don’ts of posting ons social media. These are great reminders that may slip someone’s mind when they’re viewing many books in a short period of time.

-As a Bookstagram reviewer, Bookstagram 101 is great. I wish I had this when I started my account but am using the tips regardless. Same with Canva 101, Bookstagram photo tips and Hashtag tips.

Every part of the Toolkit is extremely helpful. The formatting is great and the pages are laid out in a way that’s easy to digest and understand. Thank you We Are Bookish and Netgalley for putting this resource together!

Thanks for this overview. It was nice to have answers about the best way to approach reviews and what is encouraged in regards to posting on other platforms. This book had a bunch of ideas that I think I will try out. Thanks.

This is a concise and info-packed guide to getting the most out of your NetGalley membership.
It features a welcome guide, hints and tips about writing and promoting reviews, reviewing on all the popular social media outlets and a very useful and enlightening “dos and dont’s” section, amongst a wealth of other advice.
The book is colourful and brightly laid out, creating a fun and accessible guide which should be essential reading for every NetGalley reviewer.

This is an excellent and useful resource that I wish I had when I first joined Netgalley! It's a comprehensive guide filled with tips that not only covers content planning, reviewing and general pointers, but also shares recommendations for the various popular book blogging platforms.

I particularly loved the tips for getting over "reviewer's block" — I think it's something many of us experience but yet nobody talks about, so it was definitely helpful! I also enjoyed how there was a section dedicated to Canva and another to accessibility.

Overall, this is a diverse, inclusive and handy resource that all Netgalley users, reviewers and book bloggers should pick up!
