This toolkit was really helpful for those like myself unfamiliar with how NetGalley works and what the expectations were. I’m confident now after reading it that I’ll be able to give reviews and interact with the materials better than had I not had it.

A great guide for first time reviewers and book advocates!!

I was unsure about my first review on NetGalley and found this toolkit in the "How to write a book review" Section. It definitely helped me conceptualize how to craft an honest and professional book review.

I found this very helpful, especially the specialized tips for each different platform. I’m eager to implement the tips I read. My only suggestion would be a better summary, quick start guide or tldr page

I really enjoyed this guide! As a still fairly new Bookstagrammer and book reviewer, it was very helpful in reshaping how I go about reviewing books and posting on social media. I really appreciated the tips for each social media platform!

I will definitely keep this toolkit handy as I continue my journey as a Bookstagrammer so that I can refer back to it as often as I need.

What a fantastic and helpful way to start your journey as a NetGalley member. As someone who sometimes double-checks herself, being led by the hand by this book was a nice way to ease myself into the platform. Will definitely keep it close at hand!

I really liked reading NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit. It showed me more ways to interact and what I can do to improve my social platforms. It also explained to me better how to set up my profile to show who I am and what kind of books I am interested in reading. Thank you #NetGalley

Wow! I stumbled on this toolkit but didn't read it right away! I discovered that It is the perfect handbook for navigating the ins and outs of NetGalley. Loved the page designs and the number of topics covered.

The Book Advocate Toolkit is loaded with how to information NetGalley Tips range from how to request books and your Feedback Ratio. Immediately after reading it added my profile picture and checked out my Feedback Ratio!

The second set of topics deal will writing reviews and after reading the tips, I realized that I need to improve mine by including my personality in them. I was a librarian and wrote my district reviews with a more professional voice. In Netgalley, I can be my retired self and have fun with my reviews.

The Toolkit has an extensive section dedicated to Social Media Platform and how to set yourself up on the
various platforms. I not there yet but if I do decide to delve into that world, I be using the Toolkit as a guide.

The last set of topics deal Strategizing by encouraging reviewers to plan their content and using Hashtags!
Very useful information for those of us new to NetGalley, and those who want to step up their reviews.
It's a great Toolkit and a resource that I will use as a reference as I carry on reading and reviewing books!

This NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is a great resource for new and existing members alike. I've been in the reading, writing, reviewing world for a while but wasn't as sure footed as I wanted to be while giving reviews. This guide gives concise, specific information about social platforms, websites, and everything in between. I appreciate that this kit is laid out cleanly but is also engaging. Even after the first quick read-through, I was able to pick up tips that I could use immediately to level up my reviewing on NetGalley and on my own personal platforms. At this time, I have no critical comments because I felt like I still could go back and read it three times over and gain something new each time.


Thank you to #NetGalley for this complimentary digital #BookAdvocateToolkit .
