This is such a helpful E-Book! I am brand new to NetGalley and definitely will be using the tips. Thank you for creating this tool.

So many tips, informations and instructions how to be efficient in writing reviews and manage a book Profil on social media

Very useful indeed!
I would recommend this toolkit for everyone that plans on reviewing books on any social media platform ou blog.
Great tips, clearly laid out information and visually interesting.

A great resource to help get new members started. I learned lots of useful tips and look forward to being the best Book Advocate I can be! Thank you, NetGalley and We Are Bookish!

This is a super helpful tool for book bloggers just starting out. Thanks to the Netgalley team for putting it together and sharing!

Where to I begin……First I want to recommend it for anyone who wants to write reviews. And I wish this was available when I started NetGalley.
This is a guide of helpful info for everything you need to know about success in reviewing. It talks about where to start, (signing up) and where to review.
I’d looked everywhere when I started reviewing. I couldn’t find a thing as helpful as this. I remember being so nervous about my reviews and mostly got writers block in the process.
Don’t forget that it’s helpful for the author to leave an honest review. They want to hear from us. It confronts my TBR list and how to conquer the pile. Have you met a book hoarder? It’s overwhelming but always rewarding.
If you love to read like I do, then you want to learn how to write a solid review and enjoy social media while doing it. It covers ALL platform.
I can’t say enough good things about this. It. Is. Helpful.
Thanks We Our Bookish via NetGalley.

This is a decent read if you plan to use NetGalley, and use it effectively. The tips for getting books, writing reviews, and setting up social to share reviews outside of NetGalley are helpful. That said, I do feel like this is a bit of a graphic repackage of the Bookish blog posts though, with redirects to the Bookish blog for more information. I found myself wishing it was a bit more of a desk reference with profile examples for each member types, do’s and don’ts from popular publishers, and a bit less whimsy.

Very helpful in starting my NetGalley account and figuring out how to best use the platform along with social media in order to promote books and connect with other readers!
Thank you NetGallery & We Are Bookish!

Just like the description says, this toolkit has something for everyone. I don’t know how you discovered NetGalley, but for me, it was a random comment on a Goodreads post. I set up my account and started requesting away! Is it any wonder that I mostly got back decline emails with very little guidance on how to improve my approval chances? Nope. How I wish this had been available before my request finger took control!
This is a short guide that highlights not only how to navigate NetGalley successfully, but also discusses various social media sites and how to effectively use them to promote your love for books.
Most helpful tip to me: how to write a book review. I struggle sometimes with not falling into shark-infested spoiler waters and then feeling like I didn’t express my thoughts well. There are some good tips and guidance to help overcome that type of situation. I wouldn’t be averse to seeing a weekly posting guide for social media in the future. Something to follow like Review Monday, Feature Tuesday, Author Love Wednesday. Sometimes, life just gets in the way of ideas, and a plan is always helpful, at least to me.
A quick, concise, and visual guide with links to additional tips. A newbie or an experienced user would benefit from downloading this small but mighty advocate toolkit.

I've only recently got enough courage to leave book reviews on the Internet. I've also been dreaming about creating a blog where I could share my thoughts with the world. That's still only a dream, but the one I plan on realizing. This Toolkit has been extremely helpful! It's beginner friendly and I definitely will try to follow those tips! Thank you for all of the advices! :D

Thanks to this book I am almost positive I have connected all my social media accounts and I’m going to change my bio today. I found this book full of tips and helpful hints to be a better net galley reviewer. I just want to thank whoever thought of the idea to get this to the reviews for free because it was totally worth reading. It is a quick 10 minute read, but the tips and it will help you for the time you review on NetGalley. I also think it’s great that on NetGalleyShelf I have articles you can follow that also help you become better. NetGalley not only helps authors in publishers but they obviously want to help the reviewer‘s as well. Good job NetGalley! Please forgive any mistakes in this review, I am blind and dictate my review and on net galley there’s no way to fix mistakes so I apologize.

This is a brilliant helpful guide for anyone looking for some guidance on starting their Netgalley journey, or even starting to build their social media regarding book reviews.
I’m still on the learning journey for book reviewing so I found the dos and don'ts in the guide really helpful.

Surprisingly helpful tips/tricks for upcoming reviewers or season members. I will highly recommend everyone read this to get a better idea on how to improve their platform, review, feedback ratio, etc.

A great resource for new reviewers and veterans looking to step up their game. Helpful suggestions for improving book related content on various social media platforms and blogs. I appreciate having all of these ideas in one place!

This is such a great book and helpful resource on how to start reviewing and publishing said reviews! I wish had read it since the beginning of this journey, but still better later than never! I really hope to be of help with my reviews thanks to the tools listed in this book! Thank you NetGalley

great resource on helping write an appropriate review. I appreciate the graphics, which are informative and easy to follow. the guidelines also don't seem so strenuous that your average casual reader will be overwhelmed and less enthused about reading and reviewing. thanks!

What a huge help! Wish I had this from the beginning! Even though I am not a blogger I am an avid reader reviewer ans this provides tips across the board, different sites, different scenarios. Well done

This is a really helpful guide, thank you. The insight is clear and it was a beneficial read that I’d like to recommend to other netgalley users. A clear, easy to follow user manual for readers looking to request and review upcoming releases.

Brilliant book, packed of tips for the keen book reviewer.
Especially helpful in regards to how to structure the review and the hashtag tips.
I would appreciate more information on networking & post promotion tips for bookish social media accounts in any future updates or new guides.
Thank you NetGalley!

Netgalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is an extremely useful guide for becoming involved with Netgalley. This guide explains and walks new members through starting book inspired social media accounts, and through navigating the system of Netgalley. Personally this guide helped me to begin a Bookstagram (Book Instagram). And I took notes on every part of this guide. I thought that it was very useful that the information was concise and short. However I also found myself wishing for more pages provided within the guide perhaps showing more detailed ideas for social media accounts. For example a list of ideas for Instagram posts. Overall I would recommend this toolkit for any beginner member of Netgalley, or for anyone who wants a brief informative guide to the site.
