Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this resource.

The tips that are in this toolkit are so helpful! Some of them have led me down rabbit holes of information I’m eager to learn!

Wish I read this before I read any other book or posted any reviews. Really helpful, I loved all the links and extra information not just the book. It’s been quite scary doing reviews. At first I requested books I liked then was shocked when I got sent them! Reading this, along with the extras, has been really reassuring. I do love a flow chart and that gave me confidence to complete a book I knew I would struggle to review. It doesn’t take much time to read and the bright colours make it feel fun rather than a chore. Hopefully it will improve my reviews. If this one is anything to go on I need all the help I can get. Thank you, I wish my mandatory training in work was created by the you!

Perfectly insightful, thanks NetGalley!
