An informative and helpful quick guide for getting started with NetGalley. It mainly focuses on tips for reviewing and enhancing your content on social media platforms. It could benefit from a page that highlights tips for reiviewing on designated review sites, but overall, it was easy to navigate and provides enough insight for anyone starting out with NetGalley.

This is a very helpful kit - I wish I'd had it when I was new to NetGalley. I like the layout and links to further information, such as Tips for Battling Reviewer's Block. It really is a great toolkit.

This toolkit is very useful and gives good tips on how to tackle the main obstacles a reviewer faces as a beginner. The book greatly focuses on reviewers whose audiences are found online in the form of Instagram, Youtube, a blog, etc., which is understandable. Nevertheless, I wish there were more tips to boost other reviewers profiles, even if they are a minority.

Really helpful for giving insightful and useful reviews. Plenty of good tips. I can see this being useful for someone newer to book reviewing but it has helpful advice for more experienced people too.

As designed, this helpful 'toolkit' will guide the 'new-to-NetGalley" and also some who have been at it for a while, to create good and better reviews as well as teach ways to disseminate these reviews in clever, fun and creative ways. Those reviewers who are more 'tech savvy' will be able to be even more engaging in being a book advocate extra-ordinaire. This through using their Blog, Bookstagram, YouTube, Booktoc, Twitter, hashtags and more. Give it a go!

Thank you for this Gem, this is a wonderful guide for beginners. Reviewers should definitely have this guide in hand while writing, it's more than practical!

This is a really helpful tool that helps both the beginner and the more experienced book reviewer/ blogger get the most out of their NetGalley experience. I know I’ll be referring back to this regularly, and I’ve already used some of the tips. I wish I’d had something like this when I first started writing reviews. In fact, I’d go so far as to suggest that all new NetGalley users should probably be given a copy of this to get them started.

Gives lots of advice on how to create and maintain a social media presence as well as how to figure out how to word your posts. This guide helps you set up your reviews, how to hashtag them, and encompasses various media outlets and why they’re beneficial. It’s a really great tool for beginners!

I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of information contained in this Toolkit.

In 2022 I am planning to push further into the literary world, having started consistently reading and reviewing books last year.

NetGalley in general has provided me with an opportunity to read upcoming releases and feel more invested in the book community. This toolkit has given me a brief overview of what's typically expected, things that a casual reviewer like myself may have not known going into it. It helps to feel supported!

I very much appreciate the tips they have for creating review-type content on many social media outlets, things that some people may be unfamiliar with, or just how many options are out there!
