Absolutely essential for anyone looking to spread their love of reading and books. I thought it was extremely helpful and made me feel confident that I could navigate the sometimes overwhelming social media landscape as a Gen Xer!
This toolkit is a handy and helpful resource for anyone looking into reviewing books on NetGalley, a blog, a YouTube channel, or another popular platform. It's a quick and easy read.
This is such a helpful little ebook! Anyone who is on Netgalley and wants to know how to write better reviews should definitely read this. It’s a quick read and only takes a few minutes!
This is a great guide for anyone who uses NetGalley. It gives you advice on reviews and how to get the best out of NetGalley but also how to improve your input on book reviews.
Highly recommend this book for anyone who is starting out or a long time user of NetGalley
this is an informative guide to reviewing and making the most of net galley. Some things I already knew, but there were also tips that were eye-openers as well, like withdrawing a request and getting your feedback ratio back up.
A great and informative guide that can help reviewers understand how to best promote books. The illustrations were very helpful and much thought was given into how to best describe the art of reviewing. Would recommend all reviewers start with this.
I think this book provides a great jumping off point on how to proceed with providing feedback on books as well as how to use different platforms. This is not an in depth guide, but gives you many points you can choose to dig deeper into. I have been thinking about trying to review books for a while now and this definitely made it seem a little less daunting. I only wish there were reading recommendations.
Thank you Netgalley for the 'Book Advocate Toolkit'.. I found it to be extremely helpful, especially as a new ARC reader/reviewer. Reading through the toolkit validated that I am doing most of this right. I appreciate the break downs and hints to help me better utilize Netgalley, and how to increase my chances of receiving ARC approvals.
This is a handy reference for Netgalley readers. I wish it had been available in August 2018 when I first registered on Netgalley. I had been reviewing for Crime Classics, and they began sending the books with Netgalley. I am so glad of that move, because I have now reviewed 305 books for Netgalley, from several publishers and many different authors. However, I wasn't sure how to register, and registered in the wrong category which I find can't be changed. It tells you how you can withdraw a request, and how to begin on Netgalley by asking for one book at a time to build up your feedback ratio.
There is a section on writing your review which is helpful. There is also a large section on social media and blogs and how to use them. Unfortunately, I am not comfortable with social media and blogs, and believe it is how most spammers connect with those they hack.
I thank Netgalley for putting out this helpful article.
It was quite informative and very helpful. A quick read with plenty of advice and tips on reviews and social media.
I was actually very pleasantly surprised by how informative this was. I think it’s a great beginner’s guide to Netgalley and the online bookish world.
A very useful guide to start using Netgalley.
I found interesting tips about writing a good review and using platforms to advocate books.
NetGalleys's Book Advocate Toolkit is very informative. There are tips for different types of reviews and platforms. Whether you are starting or experienced, this toolkit is a handy companion.
What a great cross-platform toolkit. There's a lot of useful information here that I'm sure I'll refer to often.
This has been so helpful! I am always going back and referencing it depending on what I’m struggling with or what areas I’m trying to improve on. Great for people just starting their book review journey!
This is very helpful as someone who is just getting started on NetGalley. The toolkit provides many ideas on how to get started on various platforms as well as providing helpful guidelines on how to formulate your reviews. I will definitely be referencing this as I begin my journey here.
A helpful toolkit for people just starting out with NetGalley - particularly on how best to use each platform effectively.
The Book Advocate Toolkit has been extremely helpful in helping me review books and think about the way that I interact with NetGalley. All of the tips are extremely helpful and include suggestions that I had never heard before. I appreciate the fact that tips and suggestions were outlined in a way that allows readers to use them as steps for improving their reviews and the way that they use NetGalley. I will definitely return to this periodically to make sure that I am incorporating these helpful tips in all of my reviews.
Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley for this toolkit!
Full of great tips for all of the different platforms.
Thanks NetGalley for this informative read.
I enjoyed this overview although didn’t learn much of anything new… EXCEPT I didn’t ever notice the publisher’s notes on what they look for in approving a reader, so that was a nice find.
