This is a great guide for those who are starting to review books or are looking for tips on how to improve their reviews!
As for someone that has been a netgalley member for a while I like that it helped me update my bio and refresh on my book request.

What a great find! I am new to NetGalley and Bookstagram so the hints and suggestions are exactly what I need.

A perfect overview over all the available review and interaction spaces there are for readers! Since i already kind of decided on my platform (Bookstagram) there weren’t any big news revealed to me, but i might check back on different chapters in this guide whenever i’ll feel like maybe starting a BookTok or BookTube account.

I feel like this guide is perfect for review beginners or someone who isn’t sure which platform suits them best.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookish for this guide.
This helpful guide is invaluable, and definitely gives us all some needed pointers!

As an example, I thought my reviews initially were far TOO brief, so I began adding more detailed information to my reviews. Although in the reviews we post here and on retail sites such reviews might be appreciated or add value, your reminder that concise meaningful reviews on social forums are a better choice.

Thank you. Netgalley (requesting, ready, and reviewing books,) has quickly become my new favorite hobby.

I am working hard to get my review ratio to the 80% expectation/goal, and soon I will begin a book blog site that I can promote for broader book (and Netgalley exposure).

I also found the "Dos" and "Don'ts" guidance chart to provide useful information I had not considered.

Personally, I will print out a copy and keep it for reference when posting reviews in the future.

As enthusiastic 5 star rating for this enormously helpful guide!

However, although the details may be fine for fans or on certain forums such as retail, this guide

This is a great resource for those such as myself just starting out in the Net Galley reviewing process. I will probably refer to many times in the future.. Reviewing books has a learning curve and this is a step in that process. .

If you are getting started with NetGalley - this guide is a must read!

There are so many tips to help you succeed. You will find ideas for setting up your profile, how to gain publisher approval, how to structure your review posts, and creative ways to share your reviews on social media.

The Do's and Don'ts section is particularly helpful as it gives you guidelines to follow. And, as a blogger, the Content Planning Tips offered up some ideas for creating consistent content and ways to stay organized.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is an invaluable resource that I will refer back to time and time again.

Great guide for new members, just like myself. I will come back to it, because there was a ton of information I could not process with just one reading. I like how there are separate guides to the different platforms.

This guide really helped me as I was trying to update my Netgalley ,Edelweiss and Blog Bios to be more up to date. Certain things I already had on my bio but others that the guide say include to help improve your changes of getting of ARC I put on there. This is very informative for people who want to increase their changes of getting approve for a book they want to reread.
