Extremely helpful with great tips for any reviewer! Also incredibly helpful to refer back to even after you’ve reviewed many books.
I found this very helpful when it came to writing reviews for the books I’ve read. I like that it breaks down what to do and what not to do.
This text was helpful in explaining to me how to your NetGalley. I wasn't sure how to request a book and the text walked me through that process. The text was easy to read and simple to follow. I think that all new users to NetGalley can benefit from reading this book.
This toolkit was extremely helpful! I read it after being on the platform for almost 2 years and still learned so much!
Pros:
- Great insight!
- Really good and useful tips
- Learned more about how NetGalley works
- The content on book blogging is so timely and helpful!
What to add in the future:
- I would like to know more about the "What appeals to you about this book?" question. Is it just a tool for publishers to understand what catches the eye of readers or is it used to decide who can review the book?
Thanks for this great guide! I learned a lot of great tips and also brushed up on some points that I was already familiar with. Easy to read and very simple!
A wonderful guide for those beginning to use NetGalley! Very helpful in all the explanations and tips. Should definitely read before writing reviews.
Incredibly helpful. I like the section about the purpose of sharing reviews on different platforms. I don’t have any suggestions for improving this document
This tool kit was extremely helpful in helping me create my reviews. The graphics and layout make it easy to understand what the do’s and don’ts are to reviewing effectively to help authors and publishers.
Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish.
This was helpful for getting started and answered many of my questions. Recommend for anyone starting out on NetGalley.
This was helpful to learn how to use NetGalley when I first started. I think it’s kind of silly that I have to review it though.
This is a helpful short book on navigating Netgalley. I will revisit it time and time again to position myself well as a reviewer on Netgalley. Thank you, Netgalley
Very useful and informative. Great resource for new commers. It was nice to have something to look at for initial reviews.
Very helpful information about how to make the most of NetGalley. I've learned so much that I realize I didn't even scratch the surface of using it to the fullest.
This is a useful resource to help me be my best self as a reviewer.
After 18 months or so on NetGalley I'm in a rhythm, but this has so many tips and tricks so I can get more out the books I'm reading, not put myself under pressure and just enjoy the process. After all the point for me to just to read read read and NetGalley has given me this gift!
Thank you again NetGalley :)
Lots of helpful information and tips not only for requesting and reviewing on NetGalley itself, but also across other platforms like Instagram and YouTube. Thanks NetGalley!
For the newcomer and Netgalley old-timer alike, this guide provides tips and ideas for book review writing and book promoting on social media platforms. I will most likely return to it periodically for a refresher on best practices.
Very useful and informative! As someone new to Netgalley, it was very nice to be able to have a guide like this.
My preferred platform is TikTok and this tool kit had been verg helpful in helping me organize my thoughts and posting content more efficiently. It is very challenging to constantly churn out content given the fast-paced trends of the app, but it is most rewarding indeed!
This was a helpful tool for all new NetGalley reviewers, and I appreciate NetGalley making it available to us. I hope that it remains available after I provide my feedback, as this is a resource I plan to return to again and again. The Book Advocate Toolkit provides tips on how to set up your account, what publishers are looking for, how to get access to ARCs as a beginners and do's and don'ts related to each review channel. Every new book reviewer should start here!
This is a great guide and honestly a life saver!
I am using it still as I am only starting to get into NetGalley and reviewing now, and it is a great source of material where a lot of questions are asked. It gives a lot of practical examples which I always love, as I tend to get confused when there is too many words.
It does seem a bit overwhelming at time, like I don’t know where to start, but I am also aware that there is a lot of info that is being shared and it’s inevitable.
I honestly cannot wait to start reviewing and this will be my bible for everything in the foreseeable future!
