I really appreciated this book by NetGalley. Great tips for those that are starting out in their book advocate journey and need to create a NetGalley profile as well as a social media presence. This book answers any questions you might have about NetGalley and many helpful tips on how to be successful at promoting and reviewing books. I would definitely recommend this book!

This is such a wonderful resource to understand how NetGalley works and to navigate all the different platforms as a booklover and reviewer. The toolkit breaks down how everything works and helps you find what suits you best. Thank you for putting this together in such a comprehensive form.

A good guide on how Netgalley operates with giving feedback and all. I have not been given an approved book for a long time but I know I am guilty of going on request spree (can you blame me? all are so good!) What I need is basically a content system to match with my reading speed and posting on my brand platforms.

And with the tips given to write reviews and filming guides I am slowly creating a solid system to manage both reading and promoting my books approved by Netgalley.

I am slow but I know I will catch up.

This is a really good overview of how to write book reviews and join the online book community. I will say that there’s nothing in this that I haven’t heard before. But that’s because I’ve been reviewing books for a long time. This is fantastic for people who are new to online bookish communities. I wish I had this when I first started my bookstagram account.

Very helpful!! Thank you NetGalley! I am hoping this will help improve my profile and help me get approved for more books. It also helped me learn about how to make my instagram platform better and I am looking forward to implementing the changes and strategies I read about.

Cute but not particularly useful if you’ve read any of NetGalley’s blog posts! (also I did NOT realize downloading this would count in my feedback ratio)

Thank you for the advice! I'm always super sad when I don't get approved. When I saw this on IG I thought it was an app and went to thr appstore, lol

This truly helped me with my reviews and my bookstagram! I'm relatively new to this whole Book Blogging thing but this truly just helped me do what I've been trying to do. This book gave me tips I honestly didn't even know were related to blogging. For a beginner this is an extremely helpful tool!

This is a great guide, especially if you are new to NetGalley, using bookish social media or writing reviews. For me the tips were a good reminder of how to improve my NetGalley score and be chosen for more ARCs. This is a better visualization tool than what I have seen on We Are Bookish and a great guide that includes at least an overview of most of the topics discussed on that site.

This book was pretty thorough for those new to using NetGalley. Explains the steps to be a good NetGalley participant. From starting your own profile and what to enter to how to providing a good outline on a book review. It also goes into promoting your reviews on social media, going into putting reviews on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube to name a few. It also has tips on how to take nice bookstagram photos and hashtags.

Overall, I think that if you are looking into being a NetGalley contributor you should definitely look into this book. It will make your life a little easier and help you enjoy the process.
