For the newcomer and Netgalley old-timer alike, this guide provides tips and ideas for book review writing and book promoting on social media platforms. I will most likely return to it periodically for a refresher on best practices.

My preferred platform is TikTok and this tool kit had been verg helpful in helping me organize my thoughts and posting content more efficiently. It is very challenging to constantly churn out content given the fast-paced trends of the app, but it is most rewarding indeed!

This was a helpful tool for all new NetGalley reviewers, and I appreciate NetGalley making it available to us. I hope that it remains available after I provide my feedback, as this is a resource I plan to return to again and again. The Book Advocate Toolkit provides tips on how to set up your account, what publishers are looking for, how to get access to ARCs as a beginners and do's and don'ts related to each review channel. Every new book reviewer should start here!

This is a great guide and honestly a life saver!
I am using it still as I am only starting to get into NetGalley and reviewing now, and it is a great source of material where a lot of questions are asked. It gives a lot of practical examples which I always love, as I tend to get confused when there is too many words.
It does seem a bit overwhelming at time, like I don’t know where to start, but I am also aware that there is a lot of info that is being shared and it’s inevitable.
I honestly cannot wait to start reviewing and this will be my bible for everything in the foreseeable future!

Helpful leaflet for starting your reviewer journey. It's very focused on social media platforms, with tips and tricks. I am more of a Goodreads reviewer, but it was a nice read.

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

“NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit” by We Are Bookish (2022) is a highly relevant guide to writing reviews, publishing them on social media, and marketing your book content. NetGalley members will find themselves bookmarking endlessly as they follow the links provided for more information.

As someone who considers themself a social media newbie, this guide includes a lot of tips that I’d like to implement. I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised with the format. Tips are kept short, color is used amply, and there are headings! Between all of that and the use of bullet lists, this is a very ADHD-friendly read.

I highly recommend this book to those who do book reviews and want to up their social media game. I also would recommend this book for book-related content creators to use as reference to check how they’re doing. It does include comments on accessibility that serve as nice gentle reminders to consider how to post content that is accessible to most people.
