This was so helpful! As someone who has a bookstagram, I learned so many valuable tips from this e-guide. I can't wait to go implement them right now. Thanks NetGalley + We Are Bookish!!

This was so helpful! Thank you so much for this resource so I can make sure my reviews and profile are exactly what I need!

A fantastic and easy to understand guide on how to get the best from NetGalley and book reviewing. I am new to NetGalley, and I would recommend that everyone makes this their first read and review. It is bursting with helpful tips and hints, working through how to get the most from reviewing and how to grow your reviewing requests approvals.

The pages on bookish social media are a great help for those just starting out with a book based social-media account and those who may already be in the throes of growing their book review followers. There are even tips on photos and hashtags. Absolutely everything you need in one book to help you making the best of reviewing.

What a great guide, I wish something like this had been around when I started book blogging and reviewing!

The only thing I would like to have seen more of is the other side of Netgalley as I still struggle to understand why sometimes I rejected for ebooks that the publisher will send me a physical arc of.

As someone who recently started a bookstagram and has just discovered netgalley, these tips and tricks are really helpful! There can be a lot of pressure surrounding reviewing ARCs and this eased some of the worry I was feeling.
Hopefully this will help get me some more approvals and gain some confidence.

Good book with some great tips especially if you are starting out with Netgalley.
It has some great tips for setting up post pictures, and for using all the different social media platforms.

Unfortunately for me it was not available when I first started up with Netgalley & my book blog. There were no percentages to take into consideration, so due to being quite naive in the system etc I requested more books than I could read. I don't think my percentage will ever get to 80%

This is a great guide to have in your library. It is full of tips and tricks to help you with book advocacy, blogging, and other social media platforms. There were quite a few ideas that were new to me. I appreciate the information and will definitely be applying some to my reviews.

Thank you for this little guide, Netgalley! Super helpful, and im sure we all could have used this when we first started on this website lol.

Oh how I wish I had this when I first joined NetGalley! I have made some big mistakes along the way, including writing a poor profile, not realising that books were archived on a set date, and I definitely have a problem with the request spree (I can't help it, I am book obsessed!)

There are some great tips in here for beginners, how to get started, how to draft the perfect review and how to plan bookish content, including setting up your own brand and finding your voice.

A must-read to anyone who is dipping their toe into the world of NetGalley!

All the tools and information to set you off on your Netgalley journey.Easy to understand and nicely set out so no confusion.
Useful for new and established members.Well done Netgalley.

A very easy to read and well laid out guide to Netgalley and different platforms for book blogging. Could be very helpful for a beginner or just if you're looking for some new ideas and inspiration - very good tips about different organising software and design software for reviewers.

This was so so helpful! It had a lot of great information and tips, not just for Netgalley but for navigating all different forms of social media. I really wish I'd had this earlier when I first made my accounts, but still super useful now. Also the design and the graphics for this were so good! I love all the visuals!

This was actually really insightful and helpful and gave me things to think about, what I'm doing right and what I might have been doing wrong.
This will be so helpful going forward to see how my reviews change based on the suggestions.
The format was fun and easy to read, very colorful and kept my attention even during formats im not using.. yet, (I'm talking to you booktube).
I'd recommend this to anyone considering writing reviews.

I have used netgalley for many years now and have definitely learnt some of these tips the hard way! However this was still a useful guide and an interesting insight into options for expanding my social media presence. I would recommend this guide to all users of netgalley as it has proved to be useful for reminding me of the importance of keeping my profile updated and tips to help increase my chance of approval. Thank you Bookish and Netgalley for this guide and all the arcs I have been lucky enough to receive over the years!

Thank you NetGalley for putting this together!

I love some of the suggestions over here, and I’ve had to learn these things the hard way. I went on a requesting spree, and I’m still recovering; I’ve never hit 80%. I love that NetGalley suggested Trello to plan my reviews and keep track of dates (I love using trello).

I do think some of this was really basic; I would have loved a walkthrough of the new features, such as why was "Would you be in another format of this book?" Introduced etc. I just wish they had gone into more detail, for example, we're told to just go check each publisher preference individually, why not have had an example in this and walked us through that?

This was a cute little intro into how to use NetGalley and where to post reviews. As a long time user of NetGalley, I’m obsessed so couldn’t resist taking a peek at their toolkit. The brief guide is well designed and aesthetically pleasing, too!

I Wish This Was Available When I Joined NetGalley in 2016.

Whether you are a novice or a veteran NetGalley reviewer, I strongly suggest that you download and read this book. While only 31 pages in length, with much valuable information for all types of reviewers is packed into it. I really wish that this book was available when I joined NetGalley in 2016. Since then, I had learned most of tips, sometimes painfully, that this book contains, but not all. Many of the questions are answered that I see on NetGalley discussions on GoodReads and Facebook concerning how to write a review, what to do if you are experiencing reviewer’s block, and how to acknowledge that you received a free copy. By the way, I did not know that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires readers to disclose from whom they received review copies. Blogging reviews has become so important that if you do not have one, some publishers will not grant your requests. There are hints for several of the popular sites to post your reviews. So again, whether you are a novice or a veteran NetGalley reviewer, do download and read this book.

A really great resource for all NetGalley users, whether they’re just starting out or need a quick fresh further on in their journey.

Being new to NetGalley this book is extremely useful.
It is a resource I know I'll keep referring back to as time goes on.
It was also extremely easy to read and had relevant tips that will definitely improve my booktok account!

This guide is super useful for someone new to the Bookish world like me. It covers not only NetGalley and the best way to review books but also goes into other platforms like instagram and youtube and how to make the most of these. It gives easy pointers, checklists, dos and don'ts, and strategic ways of blogging that are clear and probably fairly basic but that's exactly what a lot of us just starting out are looking for. I've already noted down a few things to use for my own journey and I'm pretty sure I'll be referring back to it often in the near future.
