This toolkit was the perfect guide to NetGalley as a new reviewer. Having just finished my first book and wondering how to write a strong review, this guide included the basics that should be included in every review and gave me the proper tools to get started. I would recommend this to anyone getting started on NetGalley for the first time!

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

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! I’m still new to NetGalley and learning as I go along and I think this will help me exponentially!

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.

By We Are Bookish

As a new NetGalley member, reviewer, & bookstagrammer, I found this toolkit incredibly helpful! Because the book community is one that I love & respect, I wanted to make sure that I was starting off on the right foot with my contributions. I really loved how the toolkit breaks everything down into easily digestible bits, with visuals that keep things interesting, along with links to additional resources. It’s clear that NetGalley anticipated that entering a new world & learning a new language can be overwhelming, so the toolkit covers the basics but they made sure that they provided access to additional information if you need it. While all the content wasn’t specifically relevant to me - I am not going to utilize platforms like YouTube & TikTok - I appreciated that the toolkit was inclusive to all audiences & I learned a lot about how I should manage my little corner of Bookstagram, along with helpful information about accessibility that I either hadn’t thought of or didn’t know was an available feature. I believe that every book advocate would benefit from this toolkit, whether you’re just starting out, need some inspiration, or if you’re thinking of tackling a new platform. Thank you, NetGalley for providing this toolkit!
