As a newbie to NetGalley, I must admit that I was initially overwhelmed. While I've always enjoyed reading books and sharing my thoughts through reviews, I never realized that there were specific guidelines to follow in order to provide a thorough and meaningful critique. The concise, easy-to-read list of do's and don'ts was especially valuable to me as a beginner, as it helped me to better understand how to craft reviews that would benefit both publishers and readers.

From giving tips to new members on how to properly write a review, to helping choose the right platform, these are the examples the toolkit will provide. It also lists several tips for each platform, including Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, and Youtube. Additionally, it provides tips on content planning, hashtags to use, which are greatly helpful for those who regularly review books and promote their social media.

I am very grateful for this toolkit. I feel much more confident in my ability to provide quality feedback on the books I read through NetGalley. Thanks to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing me with their Book Advocate Toolkit in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and not influenced by receiving a free copy.

This book was helpful in writing reviews so that NetGalley and publishers could use them effectively.

A clear and concise pictorial booklet aimed at the reviewer within the NetGallery framework.
The toolkit is intended to provide tips at optimising platform use, e.g., blogs, vlogs, and social media, but does provide some crucial information on reviewing methodologies. The pictures are well illustrated and explains the associated text well. The use of bullet point lists further improves knowledge retention. A very useless introduction to NetGallery.

A great resource for book reviewers and content creators on using netgalley. I love that it's a living document and will be updated as needed.

I don't know why I have not downloaded this a long time ago. This is very handy and useful when requesting any arcs from the publisher.

A useful guide that I will refer to again, I’m sure. I primarily read it to find out the disclaimer required by the FTC. I would have liked to have more than one example. Note: I couldn’t copy the text from the book, which was a minor frustration.

All in all, a good guide. Thanks to NetGalley and WeAreBookish for providing it.
