Thank you NetGalley! This was a quick and easy to read guide about reviewing books on NetGalley & across social media! For someone who has not done enough reviews I found this very helpful and I’m sure I will go back to it many times!

Thank you NetGalley! This resource is a must read when first joining NetGalley.

This guide is simple, visually appealing, and an easy read. The information was well structured and signposted. It provided a great overview without being overwhelming, and I feel confident now about where to go for more information.

I know I will be continuing to refer back to this guide as I build my advocacy. It’s a fantastic resource for new and experienced reviewers alike. Whilst I’ve now reviewed many books, I’m taking away some really helpful learnings, and also refining knowledge that Ive already learnt the hard way!

As someone new to posting on social media with bookish content, I found NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit incredibly helpful. I appreciate how there are sections on basics of NetGalley, how to best use every major social media platform, and general review etiquette. I was even pleasantly surprised on a page on accessibility, which is a cause that’s very important to me.

I learned a lot in these 32 short pages, and I highly recommend using this before you continue on your NetGalley journey!

A quick and easy to read guide about reviewing books on NetGalley & across social media. I found this book to be full of great tips for getting started and successfully running a book review account. I especially found the Instagram & NetGalley specific blurbs to be helpful. I would recommend this to anyone looking to review books online & grow a bookish community.

A very succinct and helpful guide to being a NetGalley Book Advocate. I had a lot of questions when first signing up and figuring out not only the process but the website itself, this toolkit answered all of those and beyond, going into various social media channels and how to best utilize those platforms. Also gorgeous graphics for the entire toolkit!
