This Book Advocate Toolkit has become a necessity while I undergo my Bookstagram/BookTok journey! It has provided so much advice in terms of social media, book reviews, and book blogging.

Thank you for this helpful guide on reviewing books and building a platform. I plan to revisit this for the many helpful tips and tricks. Give this a read if you're new to Netgalley, or are planning to start any social media book reviewing profiles!

This is the first review I write for NetGalley. This book contains tips for making a good use of the platform, writing good reviews, getting your requests approved... I've found it really helpful, because at first I was a little lost regarding the use of NetGalley. After reading this I have everything much clearer, so I highly recommend this for new users!

Not only was this toolkit very helpful for requesting e-arcs and creating bookish content on multiple platforms, it also got me really excited to start my book advocate journey! If you are an arc reader, have a Bookstagram, BookTok, or Goodreads account, this is a must read! The information is clear, succinct, and relevant. I highly recommend this resource to anyone who wants to become a book advocate and/or book blogger.

This is such a great toolkit for getting started with Netgalley. I was reviewing books pretty regularly and then I stopped and recently started again. I really wish I would have read this again before I started requesting book. It was really easy to see that I got over eager and requested books that I probably would have gotten declined for or that didn't really have a good timeframe for review. There are great tips on writing reviews, promoting social media, and blogging. If you're just getting started or getting back into reviewing ARCs this is a great way to learn how to get started with NetGalley.

This book is a helpful tool for those just getting started on NetGalley. It would be helpful if this book was recommended/provided immediately to NetGalley members when they sign up not located later in the tips section.
