This guide book is a great introduction to the world of reviews. One of the most helpful pieces of advice is to avoid going on request sprees. When I first learned of NetGalley, I was extremely excited and wanted to request so many books. It makes sense to slow down and only do a few reviews at a time. This better serves the reviewer by not overloading yourself, and makes it more likely you’ll be able to deliver on the promised review.

Also, the advice not to tag authors in negative reviews of important. There’s no reason to do that. Reviews are for readers. You don't need to let authors know that you didn't like their book.

There are some great basic tips in this book to help lead to review success.

I do think the cover is a bit busy. It could be simplified as it’s hard to see all the parts of the cover especially when viewing on a mobile device.

Especially the Bookstagram content was really helpful. I agree to others saying NetGalley should send this to you right after signing up because I know many will have use for it. Love the layout, they really tried to not make the amount of text overwhelming.

This book is very informative and I will aim to make my future reviews follow this more closely. Highly recommend.

For a beginner this is good feedback! I will try whatever is mentioned in the book. It's nice that they also included atuff on how to improve your bookstagram or blog account!

This book should automatically get sent to users when they sign up for NetGalley. It is helpful, especially starting off.

As a new reviewer I found this a great way to craft my first serious book review. Besides its helpful content I also loved the illustrations.

This book is an invaluable resource for book reviewers and bloggers, offering practical advice on writing engaging reviews, leveraging social media, building a strong online presence, and networking within the book community. Organized in a user-friendly manner, it provides actionable steps, checklists, and templates to help both new and seasoned advocates enhance their effectiveness. While more visual aids and deeper insights into SEO could improve it, the toolkit's comprehensive and practical approach makes it essential for anyone aiming to make a significant impact in book advocacy.

So helpful NetGalley - full of tips and tricks to help get the most out of the site.
Particularly loved the images that went along with as it made it less like a lesson. Thank you,

This was very informative and helped me create a checklist to make sure I’m doing all of the right things with NetGalley! I hope more people pay attention to NOT TAGGING THE AUTHOR in a less than stellar review. I’ll definitely be taking these tips to heart and can’t wait to see how they help me.

This was very informative. I have implemented some of these into my profile and reviews! Thank you, NetGalley, for putting pubs like this out!!

This is fantastic! I've been looking for ways to improve my rating and profile on this site, and this guide is super duper helpful. I will definitely be using these tips in future to help get approved for ARCs!

Thank you so much NetGalley for this tool kit! I will be revisiting it for tips as I grow and gain experience!

This is a great resource for anyone that is starting out in the book influencer world! I loved that it was seperated by the different social media sites one could use and highlighted the pros and cons of each. There was some really helpful advice for influencers of all levels.

Thank you netgalley for these tools.
I have thought enjoyed reading and reviewing the books I'm been approved for and hope to continue being a member of the great book community

I appreciated the advice shared in this toolkit. The hints and tips may help improve my Feedback Ratio which is an ongoing problem as I keep discovering so many great books being offered. I appreciate all the help We Are Bookish and NetGalley.

As a newbie at NewGallery, this toolkit was like a treasure map guiding me through uncharted territory. Even though it's mainly geared towards social media, it’s packed with nifty tips and tricks for crafting reviews and keeping key points in mind. Think of it as a fun children's workbook—easy to follow, with all the important details popping out like colorful illustrations.

The advice and tools in this guide were heavily focused on social media, which isn't a bad thing, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Only a small portion of the tools were geared toward improving reviews themselves, and I expected more of the toolkit to be about the reviews themselves and not about where all the reviews could be posted and viewed. I appreciate that there were links to the Bookish website for further information on topics, but it makes me wonder why this toolkit was made at all if all the information--and more--can be found together on the website itself.

This helped me understand more about Netgalley! Very helpful in how to review arcs on different platforms, such as: instagram, twitter, tiktok, goodreads and even your own blog!

Very helpful resource to have for those requesting and reviewing on NetGalley. I just wish I’d known about it sooner! I’ll definitely be referring to this guide regularly moving forward!

This is a resource on how to use Netgalley well, tips on what to do and not when starting out to write good reviews and increase your chances of getting approved for books you request. The second half is mostly about growing your online presence on various social media platforms to share your reviews and bookish thoughts to a wider audience.

I finally learned the reason for thanking Netgalley and the publisher in reviews, so I’ll probably be more careful about that in the future. Highly recommend if you’re new to Netgalley or trying to grow a bookish platform!
