I found this toolkit to be really helpful. Not only is it an overview of NetGalley, but it also provides useful information for writing reviews on all major social media platforms and consolidates everything you need to know in one place to get started. As a beginner, I'm sure it will really help me improve.

This was really helpful although I didn’t expect to need to give feedback on it but didn’t want it to impact my percentage.

I found this toolkit really helpful.
It has some great tips including do’s and don’ts.
It’s great at explaining how to set up your profile, what each reviewer type means, how to write reviews and setting up an online profile page to add your reviews and so many more useful tips.
It’s so easy to read, follow and understand.
Definitely worth a read.
Recommend to anyone/everyone who’s new to NetGallery and reviewing like me who doesn’t have a clue what they are doing or how to get started.
Thanks #NetGallery #WeAreBookish.

Thank you NetGalley for posting this book advocate toolkit! It was filled with lots of helpful and useful information to write reviews for all major social media platforms. I bookmarked it and plan to review it often to make sure I'm providing the best reviews possible in the future.

Although getting accepted as a NetGalley Book Advocate is super exciting, it can also be overwhelming and intimidating to get started. NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a great resource to ease some anxiety about what's going on. I specifically liked the Canva tips and tips for leaving meaningful reviews. I will definitely be referring back to this going forward!

I was so excited when I got accepted as a member of NetGalley, but almost immediately the overwhelm set in. I love books, I love writing about books, but other than that I didn't know what to do. I am so glad this ToolKit exists. It contains so much good advice, do's and don'ts, and general information about how and where to post reviews. And even though it's a LOT of information (especially for readers with ADHD), the ToolKit makes it clear that you can take what you need and leave the rest. It's not something to be read just once and put down, it's clearly a resource to refer to as you build your reviewing practice and grow your reach.

This was a very helpful tool to help me provide helpful reviews. I appreciated the graphics and layout of the file and all of the tips provided. Would recommend anyone new to NetGalley to read this before they start requesting.

This is an excellent resource for both new and veteran users of NetGalley. The in-depth parts of sharing on specific platforms is what I am most excited about as a veteran reviewer on NetGalley. I've been wanting to branch out to youTube and this gives concise, simple steps to do so.
I saw reference(s) to Twitter as a platform and would suggest that the toolkit get a bit of an update with the recent re-branding of the platform.
I really hope that I am able to come back to this resource over and over as I continue to work on improving my skills and offerings as a reviewer.

A light introduction to how to use NetGalley to request and review ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies), and how to review and build up a presence on social media should that be desired. It contained good starter information, with a lot of helpful tips aimed at beginners with links to further content. I do think it could have been more thorough and fleshed out, but it was useful knowledge to refresh or start one's journey.

NetGalley Newbie here!!
So glad I saw this Book Advicate Toolkit mentioned on NetGalley’s Instagram page. It can feel overwhelming to start something new, but I have wanted to try to be an ARC reader for some time! Books are my happy place, and reviewing them feels like a chance to give back. The authors and publishers, and everybody in between works so hard to bring a book to life the least I can do as a consumer of those pages is post my review.
This tool kit was super helpful to read through before starting this journey! It had a lot of good tips and suggestions in an easy to read format that was not overwhelming. I have bookmarked the file because I know I will be referencing it often! Thank you NetGalley for providing these tips and tools for success!
