This book is awesome. It's short but jam packed with valuable and useful information. If you are starting out on booktok, bookstagram or starting a book club, this book is a definite read. It has very useful and practical tools to help you get started. It is also very useful to aide current book reviewers in improving on their reviews as well as their social networks. It's a book that one tool kit that should be visited time and time again!

Good ideas.

Might be helped with ideas on what the not reviewing a book does to one’s review ratio (non effect, essentially). At least it stayed the same for me as before and after I left a not reviewing note on a few things, and I didn’t realize it wouldn’t change the ratio or I wouldn’t have done that yet.

A very helpful book for a NetGalley newbie! I feel more confident in building my bookish resume on this platform as well as my social media. I look forward to applying a lot of the tips and tricks I read. I like that there were links to extra tips. The organization of the different sharing platforms made it clear and concise.

This book offers an excellent starting guide for reviewers new to NetGalley or even new to reviewing books in general, with tips on how to best create content on various platforms such as Instagram, Tiktok, blogs, and Youtube. Although most won't use all of these platforms, it's good to see them included in a single easy-to-find location.

This toolkit was helpful, thank you!
However, I suggest that you remove it from books requesting feedback, since it isn't quite the same as reviewing a novel for publication :)

Great for newcomers and veterans alike with adequate amounts of information that covers the How Tos, the Dos and Do Nots, and so on and so forth. There are links for additional information, as well, should you want to learn more or see other examples! As someone who has been doing this for a minute, even I found the reminders refreshing. Layout is super friendly and eye-catching too.

Thanks, NG, for putting this together!

This is a useful, informative title for people who use NetGalley.

Many useful tips on how to get started, have a weekly checklist, use the Read Now books to get your review rating up, start receiving ARCs and post your reviews on social media.
