As a newbie bookstagrammer and NetGalley reviewer this is a super helpful toolkit to have. From tips and tricks, to ideas for posts, and ways to formulate reviews in the best way, this has it all pretty much. One thing I do wonder about that maybe could be provided is typical expected time for feedback to be provided? I feel like I immediately panic and set this like three day window to read and review the book on NetGalley but then have Instagram posts scheduled closer to release date per publisher preferences.

Otherwise I feel like any other info you need to get started or just improve in general is all there! Thank you for this!

What a really well thought out and useful guide to all things book review related. Covering guidance from setting up your NetGalley profile to suggesting and describing the different social platforms for sharing your book reviews.

Well laid out, and visually engaging. Why didn’t I read this sooner!

I wish I saw this toolkit when I first joined NetGalley! There are so many helpful tips and some great descriptions about the different member types, info about requesting books and how to get approved. Not only are there tips for new members but there are also tips for long time NetGalley users. For example, there are tips on how to write better reviews, and how to promote your review on various social media platforms, like Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and TikTok. There are actually lots of tips for joining the various book related social media platforms like booktok and bookstagram (the best one is to never tag authors in bad reviews!!!). This toolkit is very informative and is helpful on your book journey outside of NetGalley.

Thank you NetGalley!

I have find this toolkit very helpful. It is very detailed and so easy to follow Its very appealing in format and colorful. The sections it containes explains subjects from Book reviews tips, How to sections, different platforms reviews, tips about Do and Don´t in order to achieved your perfect review. It also "teaches" how to use Booktube, Booktok, Canva . . . I also like the advice for content planning in the platforms too.
A great tool for beginers rewiers!

Very helpful - Thanks NetGalley! I love how NetGalley continues to support its members :) I'm hoping the next one will give us advice on asking for an extension!!

This guide was so helpful in not only understanding NetGalley but also innovating and interesting ways to use social media and communicate bookishly with others. Thank you!

This is a must for anyone that receives books through Netgalley. I actually didn't read this until I had been reviewing books for several years and I still learned some new things. Netgalley provided a wonderful opportunity to read books in advance and this guide helps to provide meaningful reviews. I hope that my reviews have improved since reading this guide.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit was extremely helpful for a newer reviewer like myself and it could also serve as a refresher for a seasoned pro. The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit gives you a well rounded view of what to do first, second, third and so on. I found the tips for each social media platform very helpful. As well, I enjoyed the visual aspect of the toolkit as it was very appealing and dare I say fun!

One of my favorite things about the NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is that is a resource that I know I will come back to time and time again.

Thank you NetGalley!

This has been a really handy little guide, I struggle with writing reviews and this has helped so much with phrasing things, and structuring my reviews.
Ironically, this review isn’t particularly structured but this book has been fab. Thank you!

This guide was so helpful! I’ve been using NetGalley for about 8 months and found some useful nuggets I never would have thought would be important (checking publisher pages to see what they’re looking for in a reviewer, ways to hone your profile, etc). I especially loved that there are tips for each platform and reviewing style so you can really personalize your content and make it unique to you as a reader. Good guidance for new users and veterans alike!

A great guide to beginners on Netgalley. I enjoyed reading all the tips and tricks, and I even took some notes while reading!
I recommend all new users read this guide before embarking on this journey!

This little manual to start writing reviews on social networks is super interesting and I would have liked to have had it three years ago when I started on bookstagram.

It has very useful, simple tips that can be followed easily.

I like that it has tips for each social network where content related to books is usually seen, and that it recommends that we don't have to be in all of them, but in those where we feel most comfortable. I think that advice is super important.

You can even access more information by visiting the links found in the document.

I think that while this is geared towards NetGalley reviews (which it's super cool for them to do), I think it can be used for any other type of review.

Thanks Netgalley!

This was actually pretty helpful in learning how NetGalley works and explaining the best way to post a review.

Very helpful direction when first starting out on NetGalley. After reading this, I'm hoping the quality of my reviews and acceptance ratings improve. Thank you for the free information. I look forward to writing many more reviews!

This guide was super helpful to me when figuring out the best way to write reviews! It is full of tips and tricks. Thank you to We Are Bookish for providing this guide.

This toolkit is an extremely through guide to how to become a NetGalley Book Advocate, how to establish your platform, and what to do once you have created your platform!
I thought this guide was wonderful! It really helped me notice some of the mistakes I was making when reviewing books and different ways that I can improve my NetGalley Profile! I definitely recommend this toolkit to anyone just starting NetGalley or someone who is having some doubts about their reviewing capabilities.
Thank you so much to We Are Bookish for creating such an amazing toolkit!!!

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a great reference for new reviewers to gather their thoughts on where they want to start. It was really helpful to me to know what I was doing was on the right track.

Additionally, it offers tools and suggestions if you have a blog, post on Instagram, Twitter, etc., and gives ideas on how to start sharing about books on all of those platforms! I’m glad I found it, and will recommend it to other book friends who are just starting out.

A amazing thing to have at your fingertips thanks for sharing so much great information to help others write and understand what's important to but into a review

This book was a fantastic introduction for NetGalley. The book also helped to provide insight on being successful when it comes to writing book reviews.
The only downfall is that the book is specific to NetGalley only. Working in a middle school library, it would not make for an ideal addition to the collection. However, in regards to my personal library collection, I will be making it a permanent addition.

It is a very helpful tool, it helped me unterstand how to enchance my profile and how to write more accurate Reviews. It is an essential tool for beginners.
