Are you new to writing book reviews or sharing about books on social media? If you are or want tips for posting your bookish thoughts, NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is the perfect guide for you.

As someone who has written book reviews for a while and has been active on bookstagram for over six months, much of the content in this guide was familiar to me. There were even a few tips and tricks that were new to me or I had forgotten about and I will be keeping a mental note of in the future.

As we try to make bookstagram and other social media platforms an inclusive place for everyone, NetGalleys toolkit highlights important information about how to make your posts accessible. I’m so glad this section was included in the guide.

At only 32 pages, this toolkit is great for beginners starting out in the bookish world and for seasoned book advocates alike.

Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley for the gifted digital copy of this toolkit.

This short but helpful toolkit is extremely helpful in getting acclimated to reviewing on Netgalley.

As a visual learner, I appreciated the simple graphics/lists which helped explain things in a way I really understood.

I’m sure I’ll be referencing it at different stages of my Netgalley journey.

This toolkit was a great overview for a beginner. It covered a broad range of platforms and tools that can be used to promote books. I appreciated the extra links to WeAreBookish articles that covered specific topics more fully. This is a wonderful resource to have on hand and I would recommend it to any new book reviewer.

This toolkit is very helpful to new reviewers. Good tips about posting reviews to multiple social media platforms. It would be great if the authors could add some examples and additional tips for Goodreads as well.

What could be more useful than a comprehensive guide to getting started with NetGalley? This little gem is it. There's lots of detail about how to write reviews and even more about how to share on various platforms, including all the main social media sites. The tone is warm and friendly and the step-by-step guidance is easy to follow. It is very helpful to have hyperlinks to further information about certain topics. My only criticism would be that the very early steps about signing up could be arranged a bit more methodically. I found myself asking how? and why? occasionally. Recommended for all newcomers as an introduction to NetGalley and how to use it effectively.
