This is the second toolkit that I have read from the NetGalley bouquet and the earlier one has helped me a lot while starting in the world of writing competent book reviews, this one is a step further in the right direction.

A comprehensive guide for avid readers like me who want to advocate and discuss what they have read while sharing it with the larger literary community and making a name for themselves. This is a practical handbook to strategize the effective use NetGalley, including the process of requesting titles, writing reviews, and also engaging with publishers. The layout of the book is user-friendly and covers a variety of topics and also includes resources for social media engagement.

A must read for reviewers and book enthusiasts.

I've been on NetGalley for nearly a year now and this did help me with what to include in a review 😊

I would recommend this to anyone who is unsure or wants reassurance that they are including all they can in their reviews.

I wish I read this when I first started using NetGalley as I can see how this would be very useful for a newbie. So I highly recommend this to anyone who is new to NetGalley!
