This was a really nice and helpful resource, it's given me some incredible information and tips on how to get started on NetGalley, I'm new to this so it really helped me get started! Will definitely be coming back to this in the future!
This was an incredibly helpful source and something I wish I had when I first joined Netgalley. It had information that I had learned from some trial and error, but a lot of information I didn't know yet. I'll continuing be coming back to reference this material to help build up my reputation and social media platforms.
This was a really helpful guide to getting started with Netgalley. I especially liked how focused it was on blogs/social media. The Do's & Dont's for multiple platforms, how to interact with publishers, how to watch/manage your feedback ratio, and the tag/hashtag info will help newbies jump in to book reviewing with confidence.
A must read for starter book reviewers on NetGalley. The design is very well thought out, and it reads like a how-to-guide, but one that is actually helpful. The most important things to take away are 1: don't go on a requesting spree, only request books you are interested in, 2: update your profile every couple months. 3: write a review that engages readers. This book also includes tips and tricks for posting and promoting books on social media, whether that be on booktube or instagram or another platform altogether. I cannot wait to get started on Netgalley! I especially liked the "do's and don'ts" of reviewing. Personally, I have a very niche target audience, and create graphics that go along with my reviews. My reviews are not your typical, standard, run-of-the-mill. I relate books to meals, which makes me develop not only as a writer but as a reader, too. This handy guide helps me determine where my reviews will be best placed and how to grow as a reviewer.
This short ebook of information provided tons of tips and tricks on where to start on your NetGalley journey. I found bits and pieces I wouldn't have previously considered and loved how it was up to date with all social media trends such as booktok and bookstagram. Reviewing books is so much more than it used to be so sharing techniques across multiple platforms was really helpful.
I'd recommend this to anyone interested in reviewing books or audiobooks
Great overview of how to use Netgalley, write reviews and make the most of social media. Can’t wait to improve my reviews and Bookstagram posts. Thank you!
It was easy to read. Had great information. I found it to be very informative. Great help. Some information I had no idea it even existed. Great idea.
Excellent, practical advice that sets a reader with Net Galley up for success! A concise and yet information packed read makes it well worth anyone's time
This is a handy toolkit for anyone wanting to increase his or her online book promotion. Although it contains many suggestions and is helpful overall, it seems to assume a familiarity with social media platforms greater than I possess. Much of that is due to age, I'm sure. For example, I'm not an Instagram user and could benefit from more basic instructions. Of course, I could ask my grandkids!
These are especially helpful tips for freshening up reviews if you've gotten stuck in a rut. We are Bookish consolidates many of their online tips into one useful volume. As an older reviewer, I particularly appreciated the sections on Bookstagram, Booktube, and Booktok. It has broadened my ability to get my reviews more visibility. Its graphics are easy to read and follow. I really enjoyed it.
Very useful toolkit! Thank you! Even though I have been reviewing for awhile, I learned several new things. I will definitely recommend this to other reviewers.
As a Newbie to NetGalley, this is really helpful! Super easy to understand and great links to intensify certain subjects.
I wish Netgalley was more transparent about what exactly a publisher sees when deciding to approve a reviewer.
This is a great guide with sensible tips for a beginner.
This is a great resource to help out fellow book reviewers to write their reviews. It gives examples of where to post their reviews, from Facebook to Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and Youtube as if you want to be a blogger or have your reviews on Goodreads. I would recommend this for everyone on here to at least look at and to help them review the different books on here.
A big thanks to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for this excellent source for those who are not only new to NetGalley, but new to book reviewing on social media as well! This toolkit provides easy to read and implement suggestions and ideas to make your book reviewing a breeze. I particularly liked the section on how to build social media, like Instagram, and the best places to create a blog. This information is particularly useful to someone like me who has been reviewing books informally on a smaller platform and is taking the leap to more advanced reviewing and audience engagement. I have this toolkit saved to my laptop for easy access to refer to when I make my #MeetTheBookstagramer post and look into creating an Auntie Yorga Reads book review blog!
NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit published by We Are Bookish is a must have if you're reading ARCs and writing reviews for NetGalley. This handy little ebook gives you all the tricks and tips for setting up your profile, your bio and how to review both ebooks and audiobooks. It is well organized and easy to follow. I wish I had this guide when I first started with NetGalley over 2 years ago. It would have eased my anxiety in wanting to submit reviews properly.
Give it a go and you'll see for yourself just how helpful this toolkit can be!
My thanks to #NetGalley and to We Are Bookish for this ARC. This opinion/review is my own.
Wow!!!! Such a great resource for how to use NetGalley to its maximum potential! Loved the layout and easy to follow guidance! Will be using this more often to help me enhance my profile
Great information that clarifies some blogging do's and don'ts in an easy to digest format similar to an infographic for each section.
Thanks We Are Bookish and Netgally for putting this guide together.
This was a very interactive way of creating a profile for social media outlets to review books for NetGalley. It also gave good tips as to what to do to market yourself as a reviewer in these platforms.
A very useful tool for everyone using Netgalley. I would love to use each of these brilliant techniques when I post!
