Great place for a beginner to start the NetGalley review process. The hints on using social media are well appreciated. A positive approach, easy to read and navigate.

I’ve been a member of NetGalley for quite some time, and I have enjoyed the gift of books and the ability to read and review ARCs before publication. I also think that this free NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit Guide was beneficial. Ideas, suggestions, and the information found in this Guide will be implemented immediately and give me some great new thoughts and ideas for my blog, Instagram account, and Facebook sites. Thank you, @NetGalley, for some great ideas.

A very helpful guide to reviewing NetGalley books. Thanks to We are Bookish for the toolkit. I learned a lot of new social platforms for reviewing books and how to create more effective hashtags and handles to have book reviews read.

This had great information for beginning netgalley users. There were also great ideas for those that are looking into getting more into the review side of things on social media. Great booklet.

This is a fantastic "how-to". I love the visual format and the snippets of information. Very well separated into easy to find sections as they apply to you and your needs for reviewing and sharing books. I will be returning to this often.

The book advocate toolkit is a resource for NetGalley members packed with tips on how to create a profile that is appealing to publishers, how to write reviews of all kinds (critical, audiobook, etc), and how to get started on social media platforms.

A very fun and informative kit! I especially loved the layout and theme which was overall cute and fun to get through. The tips were also great, some were the same old ones, but the others were really helpful. Everything was explained clearly with a clever formatting and this toolkit was overall, a lovely experience!

This was a really helpful guide for both new and old members of NetGalley. The guide is aesthetically pleasing and easy to read. I’ll be using it as my go-to whenever I need to refresh my account and content.

Very helpful guide on starting a NetGalley account and creating bookish accounts on other platforms. Going to check out Canva now!

Wow! This short guide sure packs a punch! This book is a great guide for any Netgalley newbs, and an excellent resource to brush up on for even the most seasoned reviewers! I loved how it broke down the types of reviews one can write, and how it provided a brief outline for inspiration to strike! It was simple to follow and I loved the formatting! I’ll for sure be keeping my copy handy to help write my next review!

`This has been a great introduction kit to leaving reviews on NetGalley and on social media. It also has great tips on how to start your own bookish account on different platforms.

One of the first skills you learn as a teacher, manager, or leader is the importance of giving people the tools to succeed. As someone who is new to professional reviews, this guide has been invaluable. NetGalley is serving authors and publishers well by empowering and educating the pool of reviewers. Thinking about the process with this level of guidance has positively impacted my experience as a reader, not just as a reviewer.

This is wonderful. Great tool for beginner and experienced reviewers alike. The information is basic, which is helpful to those just starting but also has some nice reminders for those who’ve been posting awhile. Specifically I like the ‘for more info go here’ buttons; I do struggle with a couple of things so the expanded information is really helpful. Thank you to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for posting this. I am hoping it won’t archive in the near future as I can see using it as a reference tool. 🙂

This was a very helpful toolkit to writing reviews. It not only discussed how to write interesting reviews but also how to engage with your followers on social media. I will definitely be referring to this in the future when needing a bit of confidence to post a review on my platforms. This toolkit will help anyone starting out on NetGalley and starting a book blog on social media!

Wish this was around when I started. I was clueless other than hearing people saying go pick out a handful of book to request and wait. Many will be rejected, but a few should be accepted. So that's what I did, and in all honesty it became a mess, because I wound up behind and frustrated that I just about gave up and wanted to just quit. However, I have been able to get a handle on things and getting better.
I'm looking so forward to using these tips and improving my bookstagram, group postings on Facebook, and tips I should did when I start my booktube page.
Thank you NetGalley!

Thank you, NetGalley, for the helpful companion tool. This is an excellent resource for anyone that wishes to step up their book reviewing experience.
Much appreciated !

Great advice for helping build and maintain a strong profile!
This is filled with great advice with examples to ensure you have a solid and engaging profile.
This toolkit also lists the various options for posting a review, including the benefit of that platform.
This guide makes starting the review journey seem less intimidating.

This is an incredibly helpful guide to getting started with NetGalley and bookish social media, reviewing, blogging, etc. It's also beautifully designed! Even as someone who isn't new to the book review game, I felt like there were some really helpful tips in here. I'd love to see deeper dives into the different social media platforms in the future.

A great guide to the basics! Thanks to NetGalley for this basic rundown on how to be a successful book advocate. :)
