Thank you We Are Bookish for sharing this toolkit! some very helpful tips I wish I learned earlier on such as to avoid spree requesting! the tips for starting Bookstagram and Booktoks were interesting and insightful and if I do go forward with making a bookstagram/booktok for myself I will take these tips into consideration! Going forward I till definitely be making spoiler free reading threads on twitter while reading these arcs! that is something I wasn't aware I was allowed to do (of course unless it's meantioned not to by the publishers!)

Highly recommend to anyone new to the book reviewing world and to those looking to increase their engagement organically.

Informative tips on different types of social media, as well as dos and donts for each platform.

Canva is a fantastic tool to use. I also recommend word swag.

Very useful and informative! I printed the pdf version so I could highlight and use post it notes for the important-to-me areas.

I found that I am doing quite a bit correctly from this toolkit, but there are definitely other activities that I can do to improve my advocacy.

Great resource for the new NetGalley users, as well as those like me that have been NetGalley users for a while.

Thanks to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for wonderful How-To guide.

Very useful tool to learn a bit more. I found some things I will try to do in my reviews from now on, specially about inclusively. It is a quick read covering the more popular apps for book reviews

NetGalley's infographic Book Advocate Toolkit is perfect for quick referencing, or for use as a refresher, while crafting your latest reviews

This was honestly so helpful! The toolkit covers just about anything you'd want or need help with-from how to set up a bookstagram or booktube account to how to make your content accessible! Each section also has links to even more tips on their blog/website, so there are plenty of resources just within this short toolkit!

I appreciated the upbeat tone of the whole thing, and all the helpful hints that I wish I would have known when starting my own bookstagram and Netgalley adventure! There are even app suggestions that I'm definitely about to look into.

Thanks to We Are Bookish and Netgalley for this one!

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a must read for all book reviewer, new or seasoned.

In quick read guide is a wonderful resource for managing your NetGalley requests, how to post reviews to a variety of platforms including blogs, vlogs, bookstagram, tiktok etc.

While I have been reviewing books for over a year, I know that the information provided in this guide will help me improve my reviews, increase my feedback ratio and help me get approved for the books I really want to read.

I loved that this guide provided links to other sources of information and some resources that I didn't know existed like the NetGalley Shelp app and newsletters.

I would love to see more information or examples of reviews that catch the publishers eyes as well as guidelines for how to handle reviews for books you didn't quite connect with.

As an avid reader, but a newbie to the NetGalley community, the Book Advocate Toolkit was just want I needed to get started. I loved the infographic format, which made it effortless to peruse and digest, as well as easy to find the sections that applied to me. The breakdown on how to tailor reviews based on platforms is especially useful, as each one has its own unique traits.

I also learned a few important NetGalley tricks and tips, like how to improve your profile, the importance of feedback ratios, and where to find publisher preferences.

While this was an excellent resource for me as a newbie, I can see where it would also be useful for anyone looking to cross over onto a new platform, or even a seasoned blogger looking to brush up on the dos and don'ts of the Bookish community.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing the Book Advocate Toolkit!

For a newbie like me, NetGalley’s Book Advocate ToolKit, it's great.

This toolkit's very clear and easy to read. It has a lot of tips and information without being overwhelming -and illustrations to make the reading experience easier-.

I liked that there is information for each kind of platform, so it's a great resource if you are still figuring out which kind of bookfluencer you want to be.

Thanks, Netgalley for putting this together, it was very helpful!

This toolkit is packed with key information for making the most out of Netgalley. There are beneficial tips for both beginners and Netgalley veterans. It covers all the major platforms without being overwhelming.

The design is colorful and almost cutesy without taking away from the information being presented.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this valuable resource!

I have been using Netgalley for a while and still found this extremely practical. It shows so many ways to make sure publishers notice you and make sure you stick out among the others.

Thanks Netgalley for putting this together for us, it is so helpful!

This is a super handy, 31-page PDF that not only explains NetGalley and it's purpose, but also gives great tips for each individual social media site! Super helpful!

An easily accessible guide to reviewing books through NetGalley and publishing on social media. I have a bookstagram and have just set up a twitter for more high-level quick thoughts on the books I'm reading off the back of this book.

This was a fun and accessible toolkit. I feel it would be a helpful resource for new users and new reviewers. It's beautifully designed, and has all the tips and tricks you'll need to get started. Not too much here for the seasoned user, but if you feel you need a boost to one area of your social media approach, or to plan tackling your NetGalley list, then this could be the place to go! Definitely recommend for anyone just getting started.

I really enjoyed reading this NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit, which is 31 pages long, and is designed beautifully.
It was easy to read, with lovely images, and it was very helpful to me. It contains lots of tips and tricks on how to create a member profile correctly, how to create and maintain a strong feedback ratio, how to create book reviews, and how to create and share content to share on different social media outlets. I highly recommend this book, as it is interesting and helpful, as well as being beautiful to look at.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
