Great tips and templates for reviewing books on social media. I especially liked the template the author created on Canva to review books.

Thank you to NetGalley for the DRC.

It is necessary to have a book that described how to use the all-important approval preferences sites of publishers in order for reviewers to be able to read the ARCs of their choosing. Also the kit provided instruction for reviewers sending their work to social media and retail sites.

What is missing is a glossary of writing terms that authors’ use as literary devices. It would help many reviewers.

This kit is a valuable research for influencers who prefer self-guided selection of books to read and review for the public.

This toolkit is extremely helpful for anyone interested in Netgalley and unsure where to begin. I signed up for Netgalley a few years ago, which was overwhelming, so I had not requested a book until early 2023. The tips include: Creating your profile, site navigation, review writing, blogging, social media do's and don't, and how to promote yourself on sites such as BookTube, Bookstagram, and BookTok. It is a short and easy read, and the tips are actionable and easy to use.

Helpful kit for getting started. I will definitely re-visit it! I appreciate that it has been updated with newer apps like Tiktok. I do wish StoryGraph was on there, as another alternative to GoodReads, but overall I found this guide informative and well-designed.
