Great tips. I love the social media sections that give insight into how to use hashtags on different platforms. Though, I have fallen prey to the request spree that this guide warns against.

Excellent visual presentation of what it takes to promote books on the socials. I'd like to refer back to it from time to time as a refresher. Very helpful.

This was a nice overview of how to use NetGalley. It gave me some really good ideas on how to do my reviews a little better.

Whether you're trying to get started on a specific platform or are just looking for some tips on writing reviews, this document is a great intro to everything e-review.

This is extremely helpful and has given me more information on how to better write my reviews. I’ve often struggled with getting my thoughts cohesive and on how to best summarize a book I’ve read. I’ve been fairly clueless on how to establish a name for myself, usually relying on trial & error. I won’t have to do that anymore and I now look forward to using what I’ve learned to better my reviews.

Netgalley's Book Advocate Toolkit - 4.5 stars
A helpful guide to the reviewer on Netgalley. I found out a lot of new things, but being a non-techie a little harder to implement. Thank you for explaining many things.

Well, this tool kit has covered aspects from a ground level zero where you start with creation, profile, listing , selections and more...
To a stage of growth perspective.
What I liked that each stage had the Dos n Don't highlight, make it clear for everyone to understand.
My fav . Part about the book was its designing and page layouts. Gave me a feel of Journaling 😄

I found this incredibly helpful! It gave me great insights on how to establish a name for myself within the book community. I’m considering taking my book reviewing to new heights due to this kit.

This is an excellent resource if you are just starting out in book reviewing. It is full of helpful advice for platforms from blogging to video reviews to traditional reviewing. This is an invaluable resource that I very much expect to continue to refer back to as I learn and grow as a reviewer.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a wonderful guide created by We Are Bookish, NetGalley's member blog. The PDF version is 31 pages and is a great resource for both new and veteran NetGalley members regarding how to best utilize the site to your advantage.
This guide includes various tips for topics including: the NetGalley platform, writing reviews, promoting reviews, formatting reviews, social media, and strategizing so your review finds the maximum amount of viewers. I appreciated the format of this guide; the design work and images are wonderful! Throughout this guide, there are links for even further information, though everything listed in the document is already very helpful.
I know I will personally be using these suggestions in building up my bookish social media presence, along with keeping note of the hashtags that the publishers list on NetGalley with each book.
Special thanks to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for providing a PDF of this guide for me to review. All opinions contained herein are my own.

This is a great, helpful primer in order to get started with book recommendations and advocating on several platforms. Despite having been at this for years, I learned some helpful tips in a couple areas, and this is a valuable resource for anyone getting started,

Great toolkit! I am thankful for this concise, easy to read list of tips that covers a broad range of media outlets.
Thank you NetGalley!

Very helpfull! I'm not a newbie but I often find myself struggling when I'm reviewing a book, since I find reviewing in English (not my first language) too challenging. This guide has been very helpful, includes a lot of tips for every platform and it's very visual and easy to follow and apply.

This book has been unbelievably helpful!! So much information, and I'm so thankful for it! I had no idea how much goes into a book review, and if it wasn't for this book, I'd have never known that I could truly turn this passion into a full time job - which would be an absolute dream! I am looking forward to using this book as my go to reference guide, and looking forward to seeing the quality of my reviews go up!

Very good tips on starting a review platform online. This book covers it all; from Youtube to TikTok, Instagram to Blogging.

Such a helpful guide, especially for someone like me who is just starting out as a reviewer. Includes solid tips and advice that I know I’ll be referring back to again and again. Great tool kit for everyone on netgalley.

This was such a helpful guide! I read through it cover to cover and am not exploring each section to up my bookish game. =)

Super helpful toolkit to bettering your Netgalley experience. This goes over useful tips and ideas that one could implement on any of the major social media platforms. I’ll definitely plan on using some of these so I get the best outcome!

A solid, handy guide to improving your NetGalley account and understanding the ins-and-outs of various features and expectations on NetGalley. A must-read if you are interested in improving your NetGalley account, no matter what type of reviewer you are on the site.

The NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit was very helpful for me, with all the different sections of the Toolkit in providing information for doing a professional job with NetGalley. All of the resources which the Toolkit
provided were easy to read and to understand and fully met my expectations in reading all the resources. Welcome to NetGalley was my favorite element. in the Toolkit. This element helped me as being new to NetGalley, by explaining what NetGalley is and how NetGalley can benefit the publishers and the authors. Also, the explanation of setting up your profile with the different member types. The member types are important for not being declined for books, which is so important for all members. Another element I really enjoyed reading and to learn important steps; is the Book Review Tips. Which helps you in doing your book reviews with ease and having a style of writing the review in a professional manner. The Toolkit also, helped me with the Platform Overview for the reader groups that will suit your individual needs. My favorite is, Facebook, and the tips about doing a separate profile, will be a great addition to my book reviewer platform. I enjoyed the General Do's and Dont's which explained many tips to help the book reviewer do a great job with NetGalley. All of the elements had good information and the only element I did not find useful to me was the BookTok. In this Toolkit NetGalley has all the useful elements for all to read and to use and I felt nothing was missing. This Toolkit is very useful for all new members and old members to use daily to help them to succeed with NetGalley. I believe all new members to NetGalley would benefit the most from downloading this Toolkit.
