All the Twitter stuff needs to go. The rest was very helpful. The instructions on how to set up my profile and write reviews were very helpful.

This is a quick tips book for anyone new to book reviewing or who want to increase their knowledge of what makes book reviews tick across various platforms.

I love the simple (yet effective) layout and the tips are very helpful from how to create reviews, to creating your space across platforms, as well as how to create your NetGalley presence to increase your opportunities of approval.

My favorite tip for the NetGalley presence is not getting caught up in requests sprees! That is so easy to do when you want to read all of the books, but alas can work against you.

I am working on growth and consistency currently so I will certainly put several of these tips to good use across my platforms.

This is so great! I feel like this toolkit has given me a ton of ideas on how to improve my bookstagram and my booktok blogs! It can be so hard to write all your thoughts about what you read and this gives so many great tips on how to improve that!

This has been a very helpful guidebook on how to write reviews. Separating it by different sections and subjections is a wonderful and quick way to help me find what I need. I plan to use this every time I review a book.

This is such a helpful resource to inform/remind the bookish community of best practices when it comes to reviewing and championing books. I love that it includes some of the current trends and platforms on which books are highlighted. It would be great to have this resource revamped and promoted every few years or whenever big changes have been made to make sure we're all in the know about how best to help books and readers connect.

This book has wonderful advice that targets all aspects of NetGalley from the reviewers standpoint. It also includes advice for your socials such as Insta, TikTok, Facebook, etc. I will definitely implement the knowledge I learned in regards to instagram hashtags and be more engaging with other bookstagrammers.
