I wish I'd found this when I first discovered NetGalley because I came in totally blind, but I still found a lot of useful information even now. The toolkit is concise and super easy to read, and the text is presented in a way that's engaging and easily digestible. I'll definitely be coming back to this in the future for refreshers!

This is a really great resource for anyone wanting to venture into the Booktok and Book reviewing craze. I really appreciate websites like NetGalley that allows publishers and willing readers to connect and read some good quality books.

It's a quick and easy read, and I recommend it to anyone wanting to read new books and review them on social media.

This was really helpful! I've been on NetGalley for a few months now, but I found a lot of the reminders regarding review-writing to be a good review. I struggle a bit more with the promotion aspect and integrating my reviews with bookstagram and other social media, so the tips on how to plan content and engage with others with hashtags were great.

The tips are bite-sized and the toolkit is very visual, so the content is accessible and easy to digest and reference!

This is a great toolkit for a beginner on Netgalley, and a nice refresher for those of us who have been around a while. I definitely recommend this to newcomers and wish I'd had it when I was starting out.

I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley. My review is voluntary and my opinions are my own.

Really simple and useful advice.
Have to admit, I knew a lot of the info beforehand - but it was still a good reminder.

This toolkit is extremely helpful for me as a new NetGalley reviewer. I will look back at the tips in this guide as I begin doing more reviews and continue on the platform. It will also be helpful for me on my various book-related social media pages. Overall, I learned valuable information that I could not have gotten elsewhere. Thank you so much for providing this helpful guide, NetGalley!

From signing up to posting a review, this Toolkit presents precise and comprehensive tips for NetGalley activities. (Some print is condensed, and may require enlarging on a small screen.)

It's also a great brush-up for long-time reviewers!

I enjoyed this style of tips and policies. After further thought, it might be a good idea to identify "Dos" that are actually requirements of NetGalley rather than suggestions.

4/5
Book Review Tips and General Dos and Don'ts are separated by pages about social media posting. This booklet could use better organization!

Thanks to Bookish and NetGalley for the free ebook pdf. The review is voluntary.

I had no clue what I was doing when I finally got accepted to read my first NetGalley ARC book. Someone suggested I read NetGalley‘s Book Advocate toolkit. It was very helpful and I did learn quite a few tips from reading this book. I recommend this quick book to anyone who has questions about NetGalley and how to navigate it.

I found this toolkit to be very useful! It certainly doesn't hurt to read it whether you are a beginner or an experienced reviewer.

Very helpful - I’m assuming formal review is not required for this given that it isn’t a book but a guide for using netgalley 5/5

This book is very helpful for any NetGalley member! No matter if you’re just getting started or an avid reader/reviewer. Thank you NetGalley for the great book!

I’ve been reviewing on NetGalley since May 2021. I post to my blog and am most active on instagram. I feel like all of this info is available on the website as well as through common sense - (who’s tagging authors in bad reviews so much it has to be listed repeatedly? Just be a nice human geeze.) I’m already doing all of this from having read NetGalley info, what publishers want, observing other bookstagramers and watching YouTube videos with tips. I choose not to do YouTube or tik tok because I like the anonymity of the other platforms.

I always say there’s a book for every person and a person for every book. 1 star reviews are from people who chose the wrong book for them so I always highlight things some people like to steer clear of and things other people will be into.

This is a nice consolidated intro to NetGalley and book reviewing in accessible info graphic form.

Even though I have been on Netgalley for a long time and have a lot of experience with reviewing, I found that this had a lot of good information for all mediums. I would recommend it to anyone that is new to people that have been doing it awhile. You never know, you might learn something new.

Found this helpful in how to structure reviews specifically on NetGalley as I am better accustomed to social media. Great to see a specific page on accessibility also!

The Book Advocate is a must read for any NetGalley reviewier, especially someone that is new or feels like they’re in a review slump. The content was is displayed in an easy to read format. You’ll find lots of tips and resources that will boost your NetGalley and social accounts.
