A short and snappy summary that provided a very comprehensive overview to starting reviewing on NetGalley. As a veteran book blogger returning to the space, I found the tips to be helpful and the content around strategising content was particularly useful. Looking forward to reading more on NetGalley!

Excellent toolkit with plenty of resources to help any reviewer. It gives wonderful suggestions and shows you the "proper" etiquette. I think everyone should read this to get insight into how they should formulate their personal reviews. It gives structure to how you should proceed which a lot of people lack and I like how they presented it in an intelligent way. I would share this with friends who are interested in literature just to attempt to spark them into perhaps becoming a reviewer. This is a 5 star toolkit for sure, I am better having read it and glad I did.

This toolkit, provided by Net-galley, gives you comprehensive guidance in navigating the Netgalley platform, writing reviews, requesting books, and even how to make your profile stand out to have better chances of request approvals. It’s a quick read and very informative.

The Book Advocate Toolkit provided helpful information and what categories to select for your reviews and profile. It was very helpful to know to not request every book that you come across and how important your feedback ratio is

Thankyou NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing me with this simple to read guide that has really given me food for thought.
I have been a member of NetGalley for many years now , but have only recently delved into prioritising book reviewing.
This guide will genuinely help me to progress with my aim of being more recognised on social media . I love the idea of starting my own blog and the helpful tips will certainly help me embark on making this goal a priority .
I can see how this will now be my ' go to ' resource whilst I try to make my stamp and get my reviews more widely known.
There are so many tips within the pages and I am always very grateful to have such recaps close to hand for future
reference.

The information is not overpowering and is given in bitesize chunks that is very easy to read in colourful eye-catching paragraphs. I can see myself referring back to this from time to time and it being a great help at every point on my Netgalley journey

As someone who just got back into reading and is new to reviewing books on a public platform, this book toolkit is helpful. I discovered a lot of tips I didn’t consider. It lays out a nice outline to follow when you’re feeling stuck on content or feeling a bit lost on how to go about your reviews.

I’m excited to take this tips and apply them to my future reviews and content. For anyone who is new and wanting to start a reading and reviewing journey, I would definitely suggest them giving this a look over.

This was super helpful! A great guide for any new members of NetGalley or seasoned reviewers. I loved the advice provided for all different social media platforms. If I ever decide to expand I will definitely come back to this guide for starter advice. Thanks to NetGalley for providing this useful tool!

a brief introduction to NetGalley that everyone should read! it was pretty succinct, but some sections had links to NetGalley blog articles if you wanted more information on a specific topic, such as how to write a critical book review. some things I already "knew"/felt like common sense (I would personally never tag an author in a negative review), but some I hadn't considered (such as not posting quotes from an ARC). overall a quick overview to look at that covers a range of relevant topics.
