NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a well-curated list of suggestions and best practices to help site users get the most out of their experience on NetGalley. It includes the basics of requesting and reviewing books, guidelines about how to grow your presence on social media, and more.
As a relatively new book reviewer, I really appreciated the specificity and layout of this guide. The bullet points about how to write both glowing and critical reviews were helpful. I appreciated the breakdown of the different social media options and choosing the best platform based on your personality and reviewing style. It even taught me more about hashtagging than I ever could have possibly known! The formatting of the guide was inviting, with lots of text bubbles and color-coding to help me keep track of the various suggestions. I think this book has something for everyone from a beginner to a seasoned reviewer.
