This was a helpful tool to understanding NetGalley! While not particularly thrilling, this did give great insight into how to best-use the platform to read and review new books.

This in an invaluable toolkit to any NetGalley member.

As a newbie around these parts I've been bumbling around, trying to find my way through trial and guesswork, but now I've discovered this guide I feel a lot more confident and assured in what I'm doing.

It's clear and concise.
It features everything you could need to know for someone hanging out in the bookish world.

It's certainly something that I'm going to regularly refer back to whenever needs be.
Thanks We Are Bookish, where would we be without you.

Such a great tool for the bookish community! This is something I wish I would have known about when I began my NetGalley journey, but excited to share this information with other reviewers!

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is a well-curated list of suggestions and best practices to help site users get the most out of their experience on NetGalley. It includes the basics of requesting and reviewing books, guidelines about how to grow your presence on social media, and more.

As a relatively new book reviewer, I really appreciated the specificity and layout of this guide. The bullet points about how to write both glowing and critical reviews were helpful. I appreciated the breakdown of the different social media options and choosing the best platform based on your personality and reviewing style. It even taught me more about hashtagging than I ever could have possibly known! The formatting of the guide was inviting, with lots of text bubbles and color-coding to help me keep track of the various suggestions. I think this book has something for everyone from a beginner to a seasoned reviewer.

Thanks NetGalley for this toolkit to help me jumpstart my newfound hobby! I can't wait to read more advanced review copies of new books.

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit is an invaluable resource in starting out as a reviewer of advanced copies of books. From the format on what your bio should contain to how to make a post on social media, this book leaves reviewers with the ability to hit the ground running. I appreciated the links to other pages and the samples of photos when examples were given.

The book was a really helpful guide on how to use the site- I loved how it broke everything down and the formatting made it easy to follow. The graphics were fun and did not make the page seem cluttered. I feel like I gained understanding of how the process works and am now more confident.

Thoughts
I received an review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I found this short book really helpful, I have been reviewing books for just over a year now and thought I would benefit from a few tips to improve my work and maybe even my reach. This book had loads of great tips in a short snappy format and even has links to get further information on the areas you may need more advice in.

Very helpful and informative guide for new reviewers! It really helped me understand how to format my reviews. However, I wasn’t really expecting to have to give feedback on it with it impacting my ratio so that threw me off.

As a NetGalley newbie, this quick overview explaining the basics of the platform leave me hopeful that some of my favorite authors (and new to me authors) will give me an opportunity to review their books on my Goodreads account 🤞
