Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for provide me this ebook toolkit,

Great book to guide you through reviews of books on social media, blogs, booktube, etc. Very useful tips to provide a good feedback ratio, and to update your profile bio, and many more.

I recommend to download this ebook toolkit before you start reviewing and posting your content.

I wish this had existed back in 2018 when I joined. I didn't understand the concept initially and requested loads of books which I'd never have been able to read before they were archived. A great guide to talking about books on social media.

A great resource that I have referred back to multiple times after reading it! Advice on how to bookstagram, review, and support authors through social media.

This guide book is a great introduction to the world of reviews. One of the most helpful pieces of advice is to avoid going on request sprees. When I first learned of NetGalley, I was extremely excited and wanted to request so many books. It makes sense to slow down and only do a few reviews at a time. This better serves the reviewer by not overloading yourself, and makes it more likely you’ll be able to deliver on the promised review.

Also, the advice not to tag authors in negative reviews of important. There’s no reason to do that. Reviews are for readers. You don't need to let authors know that you didn't like their book.

There are some great basic tips in this book to help lead to review success.

I do think the cover is a bit busy. It could be simplified as it’s hard to see all the parts of the cover especially when viewing on a mobile device.

Especially the Bookstagram content was really helpful. I agree to others saying NetGalley should send this to you right after signing up because I know many will have use for it. Love the layout, they really tried to not make the amount of text overwhelming.
