4/5 stars

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is the best tool for new reviewers. I, being one of those, found it very helpful and with lots of useful information. As I'm new to NetGalley I'm still not so confident about my reviews, and reading this book reassured me a lot because now I have something to rely on.
I think everyone who needs help writing their reviews or developing their social media accounts should take a look at this book, as it covers a great deal of important doubts and issues we all face when we are in front of a blank page and have to start reviewing.
And in case you need more information or help about something, this book has several links where you can find more and more helpful resources.

The Netgalley Book Advocate Tool Kit for reviewers offers information and advice for multiple platforms, as well as suggestions for the actual book reviews. The platforms covered both in suggestions and how-to's include Booktube, Bookstagram, Booktok, and Twitter. They also discuss basics like setting up your Netgalley profile. I found all of this very useful. I especially liked the tips on the reviewing itself. As a new reviewer I appreciated all of the tips and suggestions.
I received this tool kit from Netgalley and We Are Bookish.

This was a very helpful read as a new netgalley reviewer. This booklet has helpful tips for using netgalley including do's and don'ts for different social media platform and different types of reviewers. Recommended if you are getting started.

I genuinely wish I had this toolkit when I first ventured into the bookish community.

The efforts of We Are Bookish and NetGalley have resulted in an exceptional toolkit PDF that not only navigates the intricacies of NetGalley but also offers invaluable insights into how to leave a lasting impression on publishers and maintain impeccable organisation. It's a well-rounded gem that even seasoned NetGalley users will find enlightening. It offers an array of organization tips for handling multiple book approvals and nifty strategies to overcome the dreaded "reviewer's block."

What truly stood out to me, beyond the NetGalley-specific advice, is the toolkit's focus on enhancing your online presence. This demonstrates NetGalley's profound understanding of its audience and the publishing industry. By empowering reviewers to bolster their online profiles, NetGalley not only ensures their continued engagement but also assists publishers in expanding their reach and improving book marketing. It's a brilliant move that deserves applause. I particularly appreciated the toolkit's comprehensive exploration of various social media platforms and how to utilise NetGalley effectively to venture into realms like video content creation. As someone who has shied away from video content, it made me feel more confident about exploring this avenue.

If I were to nitpick for areas of improvement, it would be the toolkit's last update, which dates back to 2022. While the information remains relevant and highly beneficial, the ever-evolving landscape of technology and the book community could benefit from periodic updates (such as Threads!). Nevertheless, kudos to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for offering this invaluable resource to its members; it's an innovative and commendable addition to the bookish world.

It does what it says on the tin, a useful guide for someone starting out as a reviewer, easy to read with good graphics and a flow. It should equip users with skills and strategies for effective book promotion.
It covers:
Creating a useful profile
Review writing
Social media postings
Building a bookish community
Clear instructions are given and examples for each stage of the process.
The layout is good (appealing to the Social media generation) with infographics and easy-to-follow steps.
It also has downloadable resources for offline access.
Networking and collaboration is encourage among book advocates.
Some of the terms might be unfamiliar to some readers, (e.g. VSCO) so a link to a fuller description embedded in the text might be helpful.

Thank you Netgalley for creating this how to guide.

It's got some great tips and tricks for reviewing in general and for popular social media platforms - this is a great first step for creating a book review empire!
