I must admit that had signed up for NetGalley a while ago, but truly did not understand how it works. I did read and review some works, but totally forgot about others, requested way too many books at the same time and got really behind. Reading through this Book Advocate Toolkit really helped me understand some of those mistakes I made. I appreciate the simple and graphic way this toolkit has been put together and I will make sure to follow it's advice in the future.

This is a really useful resource for reviewing / bookstagram and having a positive return for books on netgalley.

I've particularly appreciated the hints and tips for reviewing audiobooks and writing critical reviews.

Very helpful for reviewing guidance and feedback tips. Just submitted my first review earlier today - thank you NetGalley!

Great guidelines for reviewing books with some easy to follow suggestions! I’ve been reviewing for awhile, but these were nice reminders!

Tysm for making this for us netgalley newbs. It was informative and helpful.
I'm sure it will help me get my score up.

Even though I’ve been using NetGalley for over a year now, I found this toolkit to be very helpful. I’m just now branching out to social media as I’ve always preferred Goodreads. But I know that I can reach more people if I try out Twitter or instagram so giving it a go. Lots of helpful advice for newcomers and even those like me who already know the basics. Will definitely be referring to this as needed to help me create better content and reviews!

Really helpful, I am glad that I have read this guide. It gives nice advice and helps with some specific things. I really liked that a part focussed on accessibility because it is so important and yet so many bookish accounts choose to ignore those facts.

Very informative, helpful and overall a very nice toolkit to have in your backpocket while reviewing books!

This short guide was very helpful. It gave simple ways to improve your reviews and social postings. It had simple step-by-step tips for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and blogs.

If you're brand new to reviewing (like me), this is the perfect guide for you!

Happy reading and reviewing!

Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish for putting this together.

Great resources. I didn't know it would be a mandatory review when I got added to Netgalley. I think it could be helpful to others.

I found this guide to be super helpful in rounding out my reviews and long term goals with reviews. I love guides/tools that are easy to read actually work.

The NetGalley Advocate Toolkit" by We Are Bookish is an invaluable resource for new reviewers. It's incredibly detailed and informative, and I've found it helpful with my first NetGalley review. The toolkit offers tips on using hashtags, content planning tips, bookstagram photo ideas, creating designs on Canva, and much more. I'm very grateful for this comprehensive guide!

This book was a great help with creating my NetGalley account and adding things to my profile that will advertise myself to publishers and authors. This also was a major help in finding tools to create content for Instagram and tiktok. I will frequently be checking back at this book to make sure I am hitting all the marks in my reviewer journey that will help set me apart from other reviewers.

This is a very handy guide for using netgalley, it is great for people starting out! The colour scheme is really fun an inviting and the links that take you directly to what they are referencing is so handy!

I would recommend this to any new starter here!

This toolkit has been very useful for me. I now know how to write effective reviews without being verbose. The toolkit has helped me learn to write fluidly what I found appealing in a book and what I didn't find appealing.

I appreciated this NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit!

As a newer member here, I learned a lot, especially concerning how publishers view my Feedback Ratio.
