I was looking for specific tips on starting a bookstagram, how to write reviews and post on social media. This was a helpful "101" guide, along with the social media toolkit. I

This is an incredibly valuable resource for both new and experienced reviewers. Its clear, practical guidance on writing reviews, utilizing social media, and connecting with publishers has made my experience as a reviewer more effective and enjoyable. I particularly appreciate the tips on structuring reviews, balancing honesty with professionalism, and how to emphasize a book’s strengths without glossing over weaknesses.

The social media strategies were especially helpful, offering actionable advice on increasing engagement and reaching a broader audience. As someone sharing book recommendations on Instagram, I’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in how my posts resonate with my audience.

One suggestion for future updates might be to include more templates or examples of reviews across different genres. Having a variety of examples for genres like literary fiction, historical fiction, or thrillers would make the toolkit even more tailored and accessible. Additionally, more insights into emerging platforms like BookTok could keep the toolkit aligned with the latest trends in book advocacy.

Overall, this toolkit feels like an essential companion for anyone looking to grow as a reviewer and make the most of their NetGalley experience. Thank you for such a thoughtful and comprehensive guide!

This is such a helpful resource for people new to reviewing books! The information is presented in a way that’s easy to take in and understand.

I downloaded this after taking a hiatus from doing reviews and my book social media accounts. I wanted to pick up some tips to refresh my skills. This toolkit is well-laid out and even helpful for a long time reviewer. After reading it, I updated my bio in NetGalley and updating how I do reviews. I'm going to be less stressed out about pumping out reviews now and I'll get them done quicker!

Thank you NetGalley in renewing my motivation to give better reviews and stay consistent with this!
