Excellent primer on how Netgalley works! I've been using the site since 2015 but it never hurts to brush up on things!

Very handy toolkit!

Information how to review for every platform that is ' hot' today including Tiktok and Bookstagram. Enjoyed reading it and will sure try to incorporate it in my reviews.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing this resource!

This was an amazing read. It was really well put together and the information was laid out in a thoughtful, yet easy to understand way. Relatively new to traditional book reviews, I found this resource incredibly helpful. It gave me a lot of good ideas on how to transform my Bookstagram, how to get started on my blog, and how to create graphics to use on social media and sites such as GoodReads.

I’m definitely going to refer back to this in order to make sure that I continue to have a profile that will help publishers understand who I am as a reader, and how I can help advertise their books.

I found this book really helpful. I just recently joined NetGalley and I was unsure of how things worked in this web. After reading NetGalley´s Book Advocate Toolkit I feel more knowledgeable about the website. I also learnt more about how to request, read, and share a review about a book using all the available tools.

This is honestly one of the most helpful toolkits EVER for beginning bookbloggers/netgalley users!

From the creation of your netgalley account, this toolkit breaks down exactly how to get started with easy to understand steps.

Really great info included on the type of netgalley users and what specific information to include in your bio for the best odds of getting approved for DRCs!

It goes further, however, and provides really useful and great tips that you can implement today. One thing I did not know that I learned is that you have to include how you got the book, thanking or acknowledging netgalley and the publisher- I've seen others do this before but did not know it was a requirement!

Amazing tips for planning and information for each specific venue you may choose to post your book content on! I'm excited to use the tips I got from this toolkit and to save it to reference in the future!

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit

Tips on writing book reviews, using social media for reviewing books and videos, blogging and strategizing for getting your reviews done are some of the topics of this toolkit.

Advice is shared on writing your bio-update it frequently-deciding on what type of reviewer you are, and the importance of your feedback ratio to publishers- keep it at least at 80%.

I highly recommend this for all reviewers, new and seasoned. The toolkit also covers topics new to me: Booktube, Booktok, Bookstagram and hashtag tips.

My thanks to #NetGalley for this helpful Toolkit.

this was good quick and short guide for anyone's who is new here and to know about what's expected from them on the reviews, blogs and social media accounts

This was a very useful toolkit if you are kind of new to this world and don't really know where to start. It was short and to the point and I believe that the tools that they offer can come in handy any time!

A great guide to help those who are new to reviewing. It gives a good guide on what is expected. It also has a lot of ideas for social media too.

This toolkit is quite short, but contains all the information you need to start reviewing on NetgGalley and set up your bookish blog. I didn’t find many useful things for myself, but only because I’ve been on bookish social media for over a year now and am not new to NetGalley either. Great if you’re only starting though!

A quick but useful read. I think it's more valuable to new members or those setting up social media platforms than anyone who is already established. However, everyone could pick up a tip or two.
Thanks NetGalley.

A really useful guide for making the most of NetGalley - lots of hints and tips that I will be using!

Was this review helpful?

Overall a very helpful and informative read! I found lots of helpful tips for starting and sustaining a successful review account, though I found most of it centered on sites that I myself don't utilize as much. In the future, when revising this, I'd like more about book blogging and Goodreads in general, as I feel that is still one of the more primary ways people review books nowadays. It might be pertinent to mention other book reviewing apps like Storygraph as well!
