This is a very helpful guide for new NetGalley users. I wanted to print it off and mark it up! Instead, I took detailed notes by hand so I could absorb the information completely. It is incredibly useful and provides generous explanations regarding several NetGalley elements like the Feedback Ratio, writing book reviews and platforms to use as “bookish social media”. I appreciate resources like this, especially any geared toward the bookish community. This one was comprehensive and answered several questions I had when I first opened my NetGalley account as well as questions I had after I had been a member for while.

A very helpful toolkit to getting started with NetGalley. Definitely take the time to read this. I have found myself referring to this multiple times when reviewing.

This easy-to-read guide book is a wonderful tool for everyone starting out on NetGalley. It is filled with helpful hints and links to more resources. I highly recommend reading it when you join. Read it before you do anything else on the site. This guide has a lot to offer.

If you are new to reviewing books or want to improving your writing, this is a great resource for you. It is chock full of information on how to write book reviews, how to write blogs, and the do's and don'ts of social media. There is even a section on strategizing which includes tips on content planning and using canva. I highly recommend this resource. A must for anyone reviewing books.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit Has everything you need to start reviewing books, keeping your ratio up, having an Instagram page “Bookstagram”) and managing it all. It’s a toolkit I wish I had when I started on NetGalley, but it’s here now so read it!

A great insight into not only on how to imrve your profile on netgalley but as a bookstagrammers I found a lot of helpful tips related to social media posting as well.

This is a great guide for both new and veteran NetGalley members. I like the infographic format with the ability to click for more details in areas of interest. Overall, I found this to be a very helpful and user-friendly toolkit. Thanks, NetGalley!

We Are Bookish is a thorough and useful toolkit! I will definitely keep it on hand to refer to when needed a nudge in my reviews. Thank you NetGalley!

This is a great guide for those who want to expand their book advocacy journey!
I loved the format and the tap-on links to go in more depth.
There are many helpful tips of writing book reviews and improving your status on NetGalley.
What I most enjoyed was the clear and concise explanations of all the social media platforms out there. As someone with pretty simplistic computer skills who is a total introvert, I found this section most inspiring.
This guide will really excite readers to share their book opinions.

Book advocate toolkit?

Yes, please!

The Book Advocate Toolkit was a quick read, both clear and concise enough not to make it troublesome to get through. In fact, it had a lot of information that I found really interesting and helpful. Honestly, I think I'll probably come back to it often just for reference as I get further and further into the Netgalley wormhole.

5/5

As a new member, this toolkit by NetGalley and We are Bookish is extremely useful.

A very useful aspect is a look at social media platforms and how to layout your review based on those platforms, for example images and hashtags on Instagram and short live reactions to current reads on Twitter.

Not only are the contents incredibly informative, but the layout and content breakdown makes it very easy to use and will be a great reference as I continue my NetGalley journey.

I am a long time reader but fairly new to many forms of book related social media. I have been in a ton of book related Facebook groups for years but I only recently joined Instagram and TikTok and discovered the book communities on Twitter and YouTube. This was such a great resource for someone like me to get an overview of how all these spaces are used by readers. I enjoyed reading it and learned some super useful tips.

WOW!!! Very informative and overwhelming, but I love it :). Thank you for all the tips and information on how to be a book advocate. For the beginner like me, this is priceless!

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for putting together this amazing Review Toolkit. If you are using NetGalley (or any type of review sites), you need to be using this kit! It's changed the way I write reviews for the better!

Even though I have been using NetGalley for a little while now, I found some tips really helpful. This Toolkit is broken down into four main parts: NetGalley Tips, Book Reviews, Bookish Social Media, and Strategizing. I was able to take away something from each section. I think my favorite thing about this toolkit is that in the Social Media Section, none of the different platforms are pushed as the better choice.

Excellent! Thank you very much! A necessity for everyone who wants to maximize their experience on netgally.

Great guidelines! Really helpful if you are a NetGalley beginner and have no idea how it works and where to start.

If you have ever wanted to start a book blog and wondered where to start- NetGalley is the place!

This comprehensive guide is the seminal text on how to establish your bookish brand and network with the publishers you already admire.

These 31 pages are a wealth of knowledge for fresh faces and refreshers alike.

Just like the advocate toolkit I'll keep this review short and sweet so you can spend more time pursuing your bookish passions.

A solid and informative toolkit for those starting out on NetGalley. It teaches users how to set up an account that suits their needs, how to request and review books, and other tips to thrive as a book advocate!
