Thank you @netgalley @wearebookish for the #arc in exchange for a honest review.

Although I’ve been a NetGalley reviewer from some years, I want to avoid being trapped in a rut. To that end, I downloaded NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit (again) and re-read it. It promises “tips for crafting book reviews—even those tricky critical ones!”; “tips for maintaining a strong Feedback Ratio”; and “suggestions for reviewing and creating content on social”.

Does it fulfil those promises? Yes. Does it tell me anything I couldn’t work out for myself? Ummm…. maybe not – and it does omit some things I can’t work out for myself…

The Toolkit seems to have by someone who assumes the readers will be from the same demographic. For example, it blithely tells us to use hashtags without actually explaining how hashtags work. I can see that I put a # sign in front of Camelcased words, but should I separate a list of them with commas, spaces or doesn’t it matter? Do all platform algorithms pick them up and give them equal weighting regardless of how they’re sprinkled in the text? Should I put them in the body of a NetGalley review or only put them in the subsequent keywords section? Do I need to put # in front of each keyword or will the NetGalley process add the # automatically?

The Toolkit tells me to “Avoid the request spree.” Understandable, but how many books is a spree? Five? Ten? Thirty? If a publisher looks at my shelf awaiting feedback, what do they consider: simply how many books I have to review? Do they consider all the pub dates and see that I can easily fit their book into my schedule?

The Toolkit is not self-contained. It often re-directs the reader to pages on the NetGalley website for more detail. I can understand why the authors have done this: it means they only have to maintain a web-page rather than a page and a document, but it does give the impression that the Toolkit itself is a little light on content.

Overall, I found about 10% of the Toolkit was actually useful this time round.
