I've been a member of NetGalley since 2014 but have been inactive for almost 2 years. I think it's time now to get over the review writer's block

I downloaded this free guide tonight and have spent the last 2-hours reading the hints and tips for writing reviews; opening links for related topics; learning about different social media apps. I would have read for longer but my tablet needs charged! I think I've only scratched the surface and I'm sure I'll be checking it out often. It seems such a wonderful resource - full of useful and interesting suggestions - and I'm hoping it's just what I need to help me get re-started.

I received a free download of this book when I signed up for netgalley.

This is a very clear and concise book on everything you need to know about starting out as a netgalley member.
It walks you through the various steps and provides advice and hyperlinks to other articles so that you can get the most out of it..

I did not realize how much is out there for book reader like myself and with this guide, I can feel confident that I am doing everything the right way to get the most out of this experience.

This cute pamphlet is so useful! I mean, I probably should have read it when I signed up to NetGalley in 2018 not in 2022 when I have already developed some bad habits (oops!).

Nevertheless, it's always useful to be reminded of good practise and it is my mission in 2023 to get my abysmal feedback ratio up to at least 60% but ideally the recommended 80%. Thank you NetGalley for this invaluable guide.

This is a perfect toolkit for me as an aspiring book blogger. As soon as I read the warning concerning request sprees, I knew it was perfect for me as I have definitely fallen to that, although I have learned from it. In addition, I enjoyed learning about NetGallery's features that I didn't know about before such as publisher's approval preferences and publisher email, I want to improve writing my profile and describing the plot in book reviews. Overall it was a great summary of different platforms and contained great tips on how to be more accessible and easier to find.

• The Brief: This is a short and engaging how-to-guide for using both NetGalley to provide feedback to publishers and social media to promote new releases.
• This is a good starting reference for NetGalley reviewers as it provides a lot of basic strategies in a quick to read outline form.

I liked the creative and easy to use format. I do think it could be expanded with specific examples to make it more useful to experienced reviewers. At it's current state, it covers stage one of the process... adding more depth to all of the sections would allow it to remain useful longer.

This was a super helpful guide and I see this as something I would come to again and again as I read and review my net galley books. I would defintely recommend this to others new to Net Galley so you have a better idea of the process and how to provide quality reviews.

This is a really helpful guide for everyone on Netgalley. Whether they are new or have been here a while like me, you will find something useful in this toolkit.

This book is an essential read for any new book blogger! It goes over all the do’s and dont’s in order to set you up for success! The graphics were attention grabbing, to the point and simple to read!

One of my favorite parts of this toolkit was the suggestions of how to obtain ARC’s. As an avid book reader, I always wondered how one obtained an ARC. This toolkit provided me with the skills needed to confidently request an ARC from some of the most sought after publishers.

Without this toolkit, I would not have been successful in creating my bookstagram!

This is a concise primer with useful tips and links to more resources. It covers NetGalley, book reviewing, social media, and strategy/tools. I appreciated the section about accessibility.

I have general knowledge but still made some notes for each section. This will be most helpful to a beginner.

Helpful but a bit complicated at times. Useful to have on hand when thinking about how to give feedback on the books you have reviewed

This is a fantastic toolkit and am so glad I decided to actually look through it. The graphics organized the plethora of content really well and were definitely appearing.

As someone who has barely started book reviewing this year and is just getting into their bookstagram journey this was really helpful. I never thought to look at publisher specific hashtags to include in my posts. My biggest book/social goal for the new year is to learn how to be consistent with posting. These bits of advice are definitely things i will be utilizing..

Great collection of hints and tips on getting approved for books on Netgalley, and on reviewing books.
Covers all of the popular platforms.

Thanks Netgalley!

What a handy, easy booklet for NetGalley reviewers who are just getting started or even those who need a refresh. I really wish this was available when I started reviewing on NetGalley – it would have saved me a lot of time!
This step-by-step guide will be a great resource for everyone using NetGalley, even those with difficulties following computer instructions. The graphics are colorful and eye-catching and I think this will be helpful for a lot of newbies.
I give this toolkit five stars and thank NetGalley and We Are Bookish for my advance copy in exchange for my honest review. I gave it five stars.

This was very helpful and fun to read. The small blurb about what information to include when reviewing audiobooks was also helpful.

This is a helpful book with tips on getting started with NetGalley. Thank you for providing this resource!

This is a helpful tip booklet and I appreciated the help ! Thanks for the opportunity to read through it!

This guide was quite helpful. Many thanks for making it available. I have been long thinking about moving onto a new platform in addition to Goodreads and this really helped clarify the pros and cons of social media options. I like the interaction opportunities with a reading-focused instagram account, so may well go that route.

Hmmm… I made an account, what do I do now? This was a question that plagued me when I first set up my NetGalley account. I’m an account new to NetGalley so I was able to use their resources to write the review but I was having difficulty recalling where specific information was located including: “What Hashtags do I use?” “How do I tell my audience this was a gifted copy?”. This guide will be a resource I continue to refer back to. The information is presented in beautiful and engaging graphics. It is well organised which allowed me to locate information about the apps I use quickly and easily. It’s a short document which makes it a nice read and has lots of great information. Some of the information was quite basic and not as relevant to me including information about setting up an Instagram account, but it was a nice refresher and it’s gorgeous to look at.

If you wanted to get started reviewing on NetGalley, checking out this guide will most likely save you time in the long run as it allows you to get the information quickly and easily. "Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

this toolkit was definitely helpful to me. I will definitely be coming back to this whenever I want to write a review as it discusses some great points.

Extremely helpful! Definitely recommend for someone just starting out using Netgalley. But also is just a useful reference to look back on. Learned a few things while reading this, but I would say it’s more for the very new beginners.
