A helpful toolkit for any NetGalley newbies like me. I have downloaded onto my phone for future reference.

A good, basic review of how NetGalley works and how to work within it. Kind of a 101 type course on reviews. Also good information on other social media platforms and how to use them to bolster your efforts. It's a good primer.

I loved how this book was organized in a clear and concise way that really got the information across. As a new bookstagrammer who is just starting off with NetGalley I got some fantastic tips and ideas from this book about how to create quality content and engage more readers!

This is a great resource for new reviewers and a helpful booster for experienced ones. I liked the page about using Canva to create bookish review photos, especially if relying on visual social media like Instagram. Thanks to the We Are Bookish team for supporting quality reviews with this guide .

4.5 rounded to 5

Strongly recommend this to whoever is considering joining NetGalley to review a book. As a member, I found this very helps.

The link to further information at the end of each section is great. This seems like an app problem, but it's not possible to access the link on the NetGalley app itself. So please download the PDF for link.

The 0.5 I reduced was because I expected there to be details on how long a book/audiobook is available. It would be great to mention that the book, especially audiobooks, are only available for a limited time. Audiobooks disappear sooner, and you can't even download it on to other devices by Kindle. Just a tip for new members.

Thank You NetGalley for this copy of the Toolkit

This was very helpful. I wish I’d have known it existed or looked for something similar before joining NetGalley. I had initially jumped right on in having no clue what I was doing.

* I requested 6 books to start and got approved for 4, therefore had a terrible Feedback Ratio.
* I like that this covers various platforms.
* It was awesome to see that we should be doing just a 1-2 sentence overview of the book at the beginning of the review and not the entire synopsis printed on the book cover.
* Any authors I @ tagged on a 4 ⭐️ review I apologize. I didn’t know that was offensive.

Glad I read this now when I saw it available. I definitely recommend

I strongly recommend this toolkit from We Are Bookish for anyone interested in Netgalley and is feeling overwhelmed.

A short read (approx. 15 minutes, 31 pages) with instructions on creating your profile, writing book reviews, social media do’s and don’ts, abiding by NetGalley / Publisher / FTC guidelines, and so much more… I feel like a pro now!

This toolkit is an easy-to-read ebook that includes advice and tips. I’m a beginner and found this extremely helpful! Available on NetGalley.

Great handbook for book reviewers! Very informative! I've been reviewing books on NetGalley for a few years and thought starting a review blog and this book has everything I need to get started. It's very nice to get tips from NetGalley.

If you are brand new to NetGalley, this is a must for you. I am new to NetGalley and I had no idea the plethora of resources and information that is on this site. I also highly recommend downloading the app as that is very helpful.

I have been reviewing books for many, many years and eight years ago I set up my own blog. In all that time I have never seen a book like this one that is dedicated to book bloggers/vloggers.

It covers everything a book blogger could want. From setting up your NetGalley account to writing reviews (nice to see that it states to include 1/2 paragraphs about the plot, which a lot of reviewers will tell you not to do - I agree a review should say something about the plot).

It also includes all social media channels and hints and tips to help you on them. I personally liked the tips for Instagram as I'm not so good, I take shocking photos, yet I thrive on Twitter.

The book maybe short but it something you can dip into when you need to and it contains a wealth of knowledge.

A must read for all book bloggers, even those that think they know all there is to know about it.

Good information. Really like the way it was presented - short, sweet and colorful! There were a lot of helpful tidbits that I will definitely be implementing into my Netgalley profile. Appreciate this toolkit.

This is a fantastic introduction to NetGalley. The tips and tricks give anyone new to reviewing a starting point for success on the platform and across social media. Perhaps in the future, a sample timeline could be included as well from book request to review to further aid those new to reviewing ARCs.

This is a great introduction to the bookish world! It provides a lot of great tips and I’ll definitely be referencing this quite often.

The advice was very helpful :) I will definitely be referring back to it in the future and recommend this for all other beginners to NetGalley.

A really helpful intro to NetGalley, how to review books and tons of tips on social media for those starting out.

This was an incredibly helpful guide to writing book reviews. It provides Do's and Don's - things I had not heard before. It gave tips for posting to different platforms whether you are doing written reviews, video reviews, short summary tweets, etc. I highly recommend anyone writing book reviews to read this short guide and follow some of the lengths for more in-depth information on specific topics.

Created: March 8, 2022
#BookAdvocateToolkit #NetGalley

This is a great little toolkit for any booklover who wants to expand their reach of sharing their passion of reading or #audiobooking. Terms like #bookstagram and #booktock are just a few terms I am anxious in getting more acquainted with. The layout of this toolkit makes it fun and engaging to read. I recommend this to all book lovers.
