NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a great little handbook for getting started on NetGalley. It's filled with advice and tips for getting started on many different platforms such as TikTok, Youtube, Blogs, and more. Its an easy read with bite sized chunks of information that are easily digested, and every page looks amazing and colourful. After reading it I feel fairly confident about starting to review books on my chosen platform with the help of NetGalley.

Thank you, NetGalley, for creating resources like this for reviewers just starting out! I wasn't sure I was going to need to read this, but I was curious. And that curiosity paid out. There are so many great tips in the Toolkit for making a unique platform and growing your following to embrace your own style of book reviews. I'm glad I took the time to go through it.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a brief guide relevant to reviewers who are new to NetGalley. It contains tips for setting up your account, writing book reviews, posting to social media, and how to strategise to make the most of your account.

I read the guide before I wrote my first review, and found myself referring back to it prior to posting the review to ensure I had covered all I needed.

The guide is colourful, with differing layouts each page, similar to a notebook or scrapbook. This would be appealing to many, however I wonder if a plain text version is available for people with visual discrimination difficulties?

Overall, I found the guide was helpful and I would recommend it to reviewers who are new to NetGalley.
