This helpful toolkit offers tips and advice on how to post the best book reviews across all platforms, along with advice on how to build and engage with a community. These beginner tips are easily displayed graphically, making it digestible and straightforward. Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this useful guide.

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this handy guide that includes live links to find more specific info on your website. I'm new to NetGalley, so these beginner tips in a fun graphic format, and useful lists, make it easy to find the information I need. I feel supported as a new member, and ready to get going!

In this toolkit, NetGalley provides tips for posting successful book reviews across platforms and for building a consistent follower base and community. I found the tips very helpful and will be using them. I would have appreciated if there was also some tips about posting reviews of audiobooks on a platform that requires pictures, such as Instagram. However, this was very helpful and I would recommend to anyone who writes book reviews!

Being new to Netgalley, I found the toolkit to be a very informative and a valuable resource for getting started. I have found myself referring back to it a few times.

As someone who started out reviewing books for fun but now wants to take it more seriously, I found this very helpful!! Some of the information is pretty basic, but it’s digestible. Definitely not the end all be all for growing a bookish platform, but it gave me a lot to think about!

I was looking to update my Netgalley profile and this provided incredibly helpful insight on how to help build my profile out.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit creates a map for the user of the platform. It provided me with a map of the site to help me navigate through it. The graphics were quite useful, and the contents were uncomplicated. The hyperlinks were also very helpful to me as I switched through the different ones. I noticed nothing I did not like about the book. The book summarizes the efficacy of the website and promotes itself as a sturdy reference for me, since I am not computer savvy.
I recommend all newcomers to NetGalley to rely on this book.

Thank you so much for creating this mini book of helpful tips and tricks for starting out in the Bookish community. It really was a helpful resource and brought to my attention a few things I didn’t know (like using Canva to help with instagram posts) I highly recommend this little resource to anyone starting out!

Such a good resource for both new members of NetGalley and those hoping to increase their visibility. I found the member profile advice particularly helpful., but there were also plenty of useful tips regarding reviews, and making the most of bookish social media.

I feel like this is a resource I will go back to again and again. Thanks, NetGalley!

As a newer member to the NetGalley review team I found this guide to be helpful. There are many great tips and hashtag tricks that I will start to incorporate into my reviews. After reading this guide I have a better understanding of how the selection process works. One tip I found most helpful is to keep updating your profile here on NetGalley as your numbers of reviews and followers increase. I read hundreds of books a year, but just started leaving reviews the second half of 2022.

I wish I had this toolkit from the beginning.of my NetGalley journey. I have learned some valuable lessons from this. I really appreciate how supportive NetGalley is in providing resources to help you be more successful in your reviews. I am thankful to NetGalley for providing me with this copy of their Book Advocate Toolkit. I am leaving this review here voluntarily and hope it will help others.

As someone who is just getting started with reviewing books this was immensely helpful! There are a lot of tips in here that I used when completing my first review and I'm sure I will reference this over and over again to make sure I'm making my reviews and clear and effective as possible!

Thank you for suppling this tool to your users! Because I'm just starting off on Netgally, I found the information in this document to be incredibly useful, such as how to write reviews, things to keep in mind when writing reviews, and the free app tips for posts like using Canva.

Quick summary of tips, ideas, and hints on where and how to publish/share book reviews. It's a handy guide but not a detailed instruction book. There are links for more tips that I did not follow, (I don't like following links in books) at least not yet. When I want to incorporate those ideas into my blog/reviews, then I will go back to those links.

I really enjoyed all of the tips that this toolkit provided to help me grow my platform, and to give books and authors the feedback they deserve!

A really good toolkit to help you get started or better understand the different ways you can talk about books online.

Great tips on how to use NetGalley and get your account rolling. This includes how to use the site, how social media plays into this, and how to optimize your reviews on the platform and on social media.

As a newish NetGalley user, this pdf was very helpful. Everything was organized well and in a way that wasn’t overwhelming. Great place to start for reviewers or refresh for veterans of reviews.

I have been using Netgalley on and off for about a year now, and this would have been a perfect first book to read when I was starting out. I wish it was suggested as the first book for readers to review to practice their Netgalley skills.

Using easy-to-read graphics, this 30-ish page PDF gives you the ins and outs of what it means to be a book reviewer online. It provides overviews of different platforms, as well as how to establish yourself as a book personality and how to gain popularity on each platform. It should be understood that the tips are fairly surface level, because just for instagram alone (for example) you could have a 30-page PDF explaining how to be a bookstagrammer.

The tips I found most helpful from this book are the explicit instructions about your ratio and what a publisher is likely looking for. I was guilty of a requesting spree at the beginning of my Netgalley journey and realized too late what I had done. My ratio is now something I have been working to correct over months of reading. I give 4 instead of 5 stars because this is fairly surface level, in all honesty, and is best suited to people who are super brand new to book reviewing. If you are new to Netgalley or book reviews, this is a must-read to provide you baseline information!

I just reviewed NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish. #BookAdvocateToolkit #NetGalley I love this new idea of a toolkit to help with my reviews. I have trouble sometimes putting into words what I am thinking. This will come on very handy.

This was an extremely helpful document! It helped me revamp my profile and better understand what publishers are looking for. Hoping the changes I made will help me out in 2023!
