NetGalley’s Book Advocate Kit is a fantastic guide for beginners that I wish I'd read sooner! This comprehensive guide is extremely helpful in writing reviews as it offers guidance on platforms, dos and don'ts and how to write a good, informative review. The kit is well planned and laid out making it super easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. I highly recommend this guide to all Netgalley newbies as well as a refresher guide for us old-timers.

Thank you for this great starter guide! I should have looked through this months ago. I learned a few new things that will be valuable going forward! Love that the guide goes beyond the website itself and gives you tips for your socials and even on Canva!

The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is a great reference to have when starting out with reviewing. I highly recommend it!

Excellent hints, tips and advice to getting the most out of the NetGalley experience. Covers social media such as Instagram, book tube and booktok too. I will definitely be using some of the things I learned to hopefully expand my Instagram and improve my metgalley ratio

Complete and succinct booklet of all things needed to get started with NetGalley. They cover everything from templates to write proper reviews to what your social media platform should reflect in order to be the best reviewer possible.

I found this very helpful in writing review, and directing my content on my Instagram account. Thank you so much for providing this resource!

Very helpful book, has helped me quite a bit with beginning to write book reviews. There's lots of useful information, not just on using NetGalley and writing book reviews but on utilizing other social media like YouTube, Instagram, etc. as well. Would recommend for anyone new to this website or to writing book reviews in general.

This is so very helpful!! I really appreciate the outlook that this guide provided me. Despite being on Netgalley for a number of years, I think there's always more to learn as it evolves over time and I appreciate having access to this continually updated guide to learn more about all of the features as they come out.

This guide has a lot of valuable tips on the different platforms and tools to start off as a book advocate. I'm glad I took the time to read it!

NetGalley’s Book Advicate Kit is a very useful and comprehensive guide for writing reviews. It outlines some guidance on which platforms you may wish to use, how to write a good book review, dos and dont’s, among many other tips. The layout of the guide is also well thought out, which makes it easier to read. This is an excellent guide for people that are new to reviewing books. Thanks!

good how to on arcs. most of it is was common sense. i thought the part in writing reviews was helpful

Thank you Netgalley and we are bookish for gifting me a copy of this guide in return for my honest review.

4/5

This is a wonderful beginners guide to Netgalley and I wish I had it when I was starting out. Maybe make it like a Tom on Myspace or the U2 album and have it preloaded on the Netgalley app. I think a lot of new users would find it helpful.

Very helpful!

I’m new to official book reviews and this was a great guide for me to use on multiple platforms. I am looking forward to writing more detailed reviews!

This is an easy to read pamphlet on how to make the most out of social media for NetGalley reviews. The design is clear and appealing. I found some interesting and helpful tips. The follow up links like for example for Canva proved valuable. I would recommend this to any NetGalley reviewer.

I was overwhelmed plowing through all the information in NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit. It is a cornucopia of review-writing ideas and tools; however, it can also be described as a firehose introduction to NetGalley. In my busy life it is hard enough to find time to read, much less to consider all the avenues, sites, bells, and whistles for expressing my opinions and recommendations. I could have been selective and scanned the table of contents for the few vehicles I intended to use for my reviews, OR the toolkit could be organized with a simple assessment tool to send readers to the pages aligned with their personal objectives and media skill sets. If I was a natural born internet citizen, rather than an online immigrant, I'm sure I would be delighted with all the options presented in the tool kit. It has an attractive design and is chock full of links and references. However, I must admit that the Toolkit is also intimidating to a new NetGalley member like me, even though I am the author of three non-fiction and three fiction books.

Very helpful with clear, easy instructions on how to write reviews. Will share with our Adult Services team (in a public library) as we regularly feature reviews as part of our "Book Talk Tuesday" posts on Facebook.

I found this book to be extremely helpful as I begin my NetGalley journey reviewing books. It provided many tips and examples that would benefit those getting started with online book reviews. I greatly appreciated the section of do’s and don’ts. I would certainly recommend this for anyone else who is interested in enhancing and improving their online reviews.

A very useful tool for when you are first getting started with NetGalley. It would be nice though if this didn't count against your reviewing ratio.

A handy guide for anyone who is begining their book review journey on NetGalley, but also in genera.

I used this toolkit to write my first book review for NetGalley. I appreciated the formatting, which made it quick and easy to find the guidance I was seeking. Overall, it is helpful if not essential for writing effective and compelling book reviews.
