This was super helpful to get started on NetGalley and on bookstagram! As someone new to both, understanding expectations of publishers, guidelines for sharing information about books, and tips for reviews were great tools to get started. I got approved for my first few books and I’m excited to dive in.

The guide gives helpful hints on how to set up your profile. There is a link to an article written by a publisher about what they actually look at in your profile to determine if you receive an ARC.

This is an incredibly valuable resource for both new and experienced reviewers. Its clear, practical guidance on writing reviews, utilizing social media, and connecting with publishers has made my experience as a reviewer more effective and enjoyable. I particularly appreciate the tips on structuring reviews, balancing honesty with professionalism, and how to emphasize a book’s strengths without glossing over weaknesses.

The social media strategies were especially helpful, offering actionable advice on increasing engagement and reaching a broader audience. As someone sharing book recommendations on Instagram, I’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in how my posts resonate with my audience.

One suggestion for future updates might be to include more templates or examples of reviews across different genres. Having a variety of examples for genres like literary fiction, historical fiction, or thrillers would make the toolkit even more tailored and accessible. Additionally, more insights into emerging platforms like BookTok could keep the toolkit aligned with the latest trends in book advocacy.

Overall, this toolkit feels like an essential companion for anyone looking to grow as a reviewer and make the most of their NetGalley experience. Thank you for such a thoughtful and comprehensive guide!
