This is a very helpful and informative tool for members that are new to Netgalley. I have been a member of the Netgalley community for several years now so I am aware of all the information in this tool kit so none of it was new to me. But a lot of the information in the toolkit would be very helpful for people new to Netgalley or those who are thinking about joining. Netgalley is such an amazing community and i would highly recommend this toolkit to any and all members especially to those that are new to the website. Thank you so much NetGalley!

This is wonderful! I’ve been a part of the bookstagram community for many years, but I still found this helpful and came away from it with many new ideas. I may even try my hand at the ole TikTok. Or even booktube! Thanks a ton for this helpful toolkit!

A very necessary tool. A lot to learn for novices of Netgalley and a nice refresh for long time users. New users should be made to try this.

I have been looking at moving into booktok so this toolkit was a great learning tool to help me feel confident to get started.
There were a few things here that I didn't already know so thank you so much for setting me straight there,
It's set out well, easy to follow and understand and something I will be using to reference in the future!

Helpfully little guide to the ins and outs of literary review.
Covers all aspects along with hints and tips

Pretty basic but if you’re literally just starting out this can be helpful. Don’t think there was anything that’s not already included on the NG site for recommendations. The elusive 80%.

NetGalley’s toolkit is a guide for beginners in the book community. Not only was it set up so that even people who have no prior knowledge of the platforms could build up their social media, but the guide also provided some important tips. The colourful designs of each page made this booklet all the more fun to read. The information provided was concise, the overall guide was easy to navigate. [Guide provided by NetGalley]

Useful tips and notes for beginner or anyone who needs to refresh the basics. I had previously read these points in various blog posts of We are Bookish, and this is just a one place handle for all of those

A very informative guide to using NetGalley. Plus, it has some helpful tips for managing any social media accounts you use to talk about books. I would recommend to everyone who is reading this.

This is a great kit to up your book review game. There are some fantastic tips for books clubs and the #WeAreBookish community. If you are new here, I highly suggest that you read this first.

This provided me with a lot of information that I didn’t realise when I first started using Netgalley.

Very helpful and informative. I didn’t realise that you should tag the publisher and netgalley on twitter

Thank you NetGalley for the toolkit! This was filled with great advice on not only writing reviews but also navigating social media accounts and getting approvals for reviews.
A short and simple read for any reviewer whether they’re a veteran or a newbie!

This toolkit was quite useful and I am glad I took the time to read it. It is comprehensive and allowed me to both refresh my memory on the things I already knew and learn new things.
Thank you NetGalley for the toolkit.

A comprehensive overview of book reviewing, both specific to NetGalley and book reviewing in general, “NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit” covers everything from the basics of setting up accounts to techniques to bolstering engagement. I appreciated the space spent on distinguishing between the aims and benefits of each social media platform. So much time is often spent discussing how to succeed on each platform but rarely do guides and forums discuss what platform to divert one’s attention towards. Although so much material was covered, if one pursues book reviewing they will need to supplement this guide with other material, for nuance is lost where brevity is gained. Ultimately, this is an easy to understand, accessible guide that is great for those starting a reviewing platform or express initial interest in doing so.

Thank you to NetGalley for this toolkit!
This is a great quick overview on Netgalley and how to make your profile look attractive to book publishers as well as writing helpful reviews. It was useful to give me tips on how to effectively use my account and how to increase my social media reach.

Thanks to NetGalley for this book. I am new to NetGalley, so this guide was quite helpful to understand how to get ARCs and what publishers are looking for. This short pdf brings a lot to the table and would be helpful for any NetGalley member.

This is an absolutely fantastic guide. I picked it up thinking I probably wouldn't see much new, but maybe it would be a good refresher. But yeah, I actually learned stuff, haha. This is really comprehensive and gives tips for using different platforms. The formatting is attractive and makes reading easy and enjoyable. Thanks, Netgalley!

This is a great overview of how best to write a book review. It includes a lot of tips on writing reviews for different media platforms and is well-worth a read for anyone who would like to have their reviews noticed or who would like to be involved in writing reviews for a blog.

This was incredibly helpful. As a newcomer to NetGalley, I found myself a little unsure of where to begin. This is the perfect guide for making the most out of NetGalley and all its resources.
