Despite having a Netgalley account since 2013, I have never really put much effort into sprucing up my account or writing “better” reviews. I only just learned about this Toolkit via the Netgalley Summer Bingo board. It has great tips on updating your profile, writing reviews, and social media. Some of the tips even have embedded links for more info. I particularly liked the shared graphic in one of the tips for NetGalley reviews in Stories on Instagram. I would recommend this to anyone who is just starting out with Netgalley and anyone who is interested in becoming a book “influencer.” Thank you to Netgalley and We Are Bookish for the copy.

I should have done this review a long time ago but I am embarrassed to say that I did not due to the habit of reading the pdf and neglecting the toolkit title here on the site.

It is a fantastic resource when starting out new as well as a great refresher when you may have writer’s block.
