Nicely laid out bitesize guide with some good tips even for the experienced reviewer. Not all was applicable to me, as I find the very idea of TikTok, etc, faintly exhausting (I'm the old-fashioned Goodreads/Amazon only type) but I'm sure people who do use these platforms will find the advice helpful.

Worth a look.

This guide, full of practical advices and tips presented in easy to digest form, should be useful to any NetGalley user. I just wish ai could read something like this when I was a newbie, but still it is worth reading even if you are an experienced reviewer.

Thanks to the publisher, We Are Bookish, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.

The Toolkit is a great guide to start your online book platform in many forms. As I am only starting my bookstagram and am learning a lot about the platform, my style, how the algorithm works etc, I have found this toolkit to be super useful and packed with great tips how to start. I will probably come to those advices a few more times to create a habit out of them and boost my bookstagram account! Definitely recommend to anyone in the bookish community!

Excellent overview for readers new to NetGalley or wishing to expand to more reviewing or social media platforms. Brief guid to the various platforms, so you can consider what would work for you, even covering some free editing tools that are widely used in social media. Do’s and Don’ts are also very helpful for those of us who want to avoid putting our foot in it.

Excellent guide! I enjoyed reviewing the content on what to include and what not to include while writing a book review. Many helpful tips on posting photos and what hashtags to include.

Highly recommend to those just starting out with NetGalley and reviewing books on social media!

Excellent and concise!

I learned a lot from this guide and would surely use it well. I especially like and love the conciseness and beautiful format of this resource. Thank you!

This was a brief and concise “how-to” guide to help the average NetGalley user write better reviews and use social media to their advantage. I don’t use TikTok, etc so I did not find that part useful.

An excellent resource to ensure reviewers have the know how to share out reviews in the most effective way possible!

I'm not new to NetGalley, but I'm always looking for ways I can do my part to help expand my review reach and to make them better. This helped with that immensely. Its easy to read, easy to understand, and just the right length without being something you have to take time out and read. I'll refer back to this whenever I need help reviewing in the future. Honestly this should be given to every new NetGalley member!

This obviously isn't something my library will purchase, but this is a helpful guide for all of us on NetGalley!

Thank you for the helpful tips on improving profile and book outreach! I'm not sure why this needs to be 100 characters for a help manual for Netgalley but why not?

I'm not new to netgalley, but wow this is such a great resource even if you aren't! This little booklet is packed with great info to help your journey on this website!

This should be given to all NetGalley members when they first join. It has so much helpful information int it.

This guide is a must read for anyone reviewing books on NetGalley! Clear, concise, beautifully designed and just long enough.

I liked that there are sections for various types of review mediums, whether you are an active social media reviewer or just review on commercial sites. I learned quite a bit about sites like BookTube that I wasn’t aware of, and even how to properly hashtag (are you familiar with camel case?, I wasn’t!).

Thanks to NetGalley for putting this together, a lot of people will benefit from it. I appreciate getting this advance readers copy for review, but my opinions are my own.
