Great resource for someone (like me) who is just starting out in the bookstagram world and wants to learn how to not only gain access to more books, and reach more people, but also how to connect with your audience. This is VERY succinct, but has some great tips that people who have been doing this a while may no longer think about.
Thank you to We Are Bookish for putting together this comprehensive guide to book reviewing! I have been running bookstagram social media pages for just over a year now and am still trying to figure out how to optimize these platforms. This guide was extremely helpful with it's bitesized tips and tricks for book reviewing/creating bookish content across all popular platforms. I found it to be especially encouraging as it seemed to stressed that while it is important to treat book reviewing via Net Galley seriously, it is also meant to be fun!
I was so glad to get this guide. It is just the perfect length and is presented well. The visual aspect makes it very readable and easy to comprehend. . As a long time NetGalley reviewer, I am always happy to get new tips and tricks about what I am doing. I am so grateful to be a part of Net Galley, so thank you for this important resource.
Great tips on all aspects of the NetGalley. Wondering how to write a good review or where to post it? This Toolkit has the answers. Helpful for newbies and more experienced NetGalley user alike.
For someone who wasn’t exactly sure what NetGalley was coming into it, this tool kit was perfect for the NetGalley beginner. NetGalley provided information in a succinct and professional manner, while still being easy to understand. The tool kit provided a variety of resources for NetGalley members, including links to We Are Bookish articles, explanations on how to review books, and tips for posting on different platforms. Overall, NetGalley’s Book Advocate ToolKit was 5/5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for a DRC in exchange for my honest review.
A good guide to becoming a book reviewer! Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with the DRC. It proved to be very helpful.
Absolutely fantastic resource to use to help with your netgalley profile/reviews.
Definitely recommend using! ,
Some useful advice, things I hadn’t thought about before. All in a neat little format! Thanks for making this.
A useful guide to improve your skills as a reviewer that also offers some tips to use all kind of social media. It's also a short guide, something that I thank for.
I downloaded the NetGalley’s Book Advocate Tool Kit looking for ways to improve reviews and to learn avenues for promoting reviews. I found the information in the Tool Kit extremely helpful for this long time reviewer. I especially appreciated the section on writing with reviewer’s block which is helpful when I read a book difficult to review.
The information regarding social media posts was informative and provided ideas differing to my own ideas of what to post.
The General Dos and Donts was pertinent information for me and very helpful in avoiding mistakes. I loved the Hashtags Tips as I was completely lost when it comes to hashtags and now have the details on what they are and how to use them.
The only irritating thing was that the links for further information were disabled. I would have liked to be able to go to the links.
It is my belief that this informative book would benefit anyone either just starting out writing reviews or longer term reviewers who can always use a refresher course. And I am sure there are people, like me, who are in the dark about some of the media marketing tools.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
An excellent guide for helping new reviewers learn the ropes.
I recommend that all new reviewers read this helpful, instructive guide.
An altogether great toolkit — especially for new users or those looking to expand their reach on social media. The graphics are great — fun without being silly. I'd definitely recommend any NetGalley user — newbies to old hands — take a peek at this.
This was a really helpful and informative look at book blogging. I strongly recommend that every book blogger and book reviewer read this
Thank you to NetGalley for the e-arc!
This tool kit was very informative in what this platform is looking for, indicating the do's and don'ts. Being new to this, having this resource I really liked how it gave specifics on content for such social media sites. It really helped me focus on what I want to make, share what I've been reading as well as reviewing them. If you're new to NetGalley you should check this out!
So many great tips and advice given here! I thought this was such a great idea for new users, and great reminders for those of us around a little bit longer.
Always a great reminder to avoid “the request spree” along with how to prioritize and avoid backlog.
I loved all the tips included and am looking forward to implementing them in my review writing and posting! I plan on reviewing this information again frequently.
Thank you for the great information!
Great tips and ideas. I did not know that there were so many ways to expand my reviews. Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, wow! Even after over 600 reviews, I still discovered that I have a lot to learn!
A straightforward, easy-to-navigate guide to using this website. I would have loved to have seen this Toolkit months ago, when I was just starting out here, so I'm glad it now exists for future beginner reviewers. Thank you for this, NetGalley!
Very helpful guide to getting started and establishing a successful review portfolio. I’m excited to reference this toolkit as I continue to review books on #NetGalley.
This was very helpful! It answered all of my questions about netgalley and provided a lot of useful tips about how to most effectively use it.
Great little book full of actual advice on how to make you stand out just a bit more on a large platform. Easy to read and full of information.
