Great resource for anyone starting a bookstagram or blog reviewing book. Outline a good strategy and key advice for anyone starting out. Interesting for established bloggers and bookstagrammers - there are little things you forget in time. Definitely a pdf to reference back to.

This is a very comprehensive guide to making sure feedback ratios are high with NetGalley so that reviewers continue getting approvals, which I really appreciate. I also appreciate the info on bookish social media and strategizing.

This is a very helpful tool that I have referred back to a few times since downloading. The information on various platforms, content ideas and other material is helpful for those just getting started in reviewing or looking to streamline their processes.

Although I am not new to reviewing books, I am new to the NetGalley platform. And as a recovering perfectionist, I wanted to get started on the right foot. NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit provided the perfect opportunity to begin learning some of the in’s and out’s of taking my reviewing, and book advocacy, to the next level.
This Toolkit was helpful in learning what should be included in my reviewer profile, as well as for tips on writing excellent book reviews and sharing them on social media. I thought the content planning tips were very helpful, as well as the overview of additional platforms for potentially reviewing books.
I believe anyone new to NetGalley, or who feels like they want to up their review game would benefit from the Toolkit. As a brand new member of NetGalley I found this Toolkit to be particularly helpful. What could have been hours worth of Googling, was distilled into a quick, but thorough guide that both provides enough information to get started, and a jumping off point for more seasoned book advocates to continue further research.
I recommend that all new members of NetGalley download this guide first thing, BEFORE beginning to browse for books to request! This guide will not only help up your game, but help you avoid some of the pitfalls that commonly beset new members!

Cuteeee - definitely a nice thing. Thanks for giving this to us! I'm definitley going to be using the templates and ideas listed in here

This read is wonderful for newbies to NetGalley to learn how to use the platform in their favor and get ARC's from their favorite authors and publishers.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is a game-changer for anyone diving into the world of book advocacy or aiming to level up their skills. It's like having a seasoned mentor right at your fingertips, guiding you through every step of the process. From setting up your profile to mastering the art of crafting compelling reviews, this toolkit has got you covered. As a newbie, I found it immensely helpful in navigating the sometimes daunting landscape of book reviewing. Whether you're just starting out or already knee-deep in titles, this toolkit is an essential companion for anyone passionate about spreading the book love.
Thank you NetGalley for this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Perfect guide for the do's and don'ts for anyone who is just started to use Netgalley and are terrified by the process, for already existing members who want to get the most out of their reviews. I did learn a thing or two especially about keeping your profile up to date not only by keeping on top of your book reviews but also your personal profile. But also the most important thing is to grab the audiences attention straight away at the top of the review.
For me personally I need to make sure I add the publishers along side Netgalley when thanking
Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish for a copy of the book for an honest review.

Although I have been reading and writing reviews for years now, I find that there is always something new to learn. This is a helpful tool advising me of some ways to promote books in other ways such as “Bookstagram”. I have tried to post on Instagram but found it challenging. I now have some ideas on how to approach it again. I especially liked the reminder on how to stay on top of reviews. I am currently “catching up” desperately on past due reviews. Thanks for this helpful advocat toolkit!

Extremely helpful and informative. An excellent resource for those new to the platform and wanting to help share these stories in the most effective ways.

This was a super helpful tool which has helped me to navigate NetGalley much easier. It has given me ideas to use and has encouraged me to use NetGalley more.

A nice toolkit for members to advance their profiles! It has an easy to follow layout and is easy to understand. This toolkit is very helpful.

Thank you for compiling this helpful guide! It is a great resource for beginners on NetGalley. Learning how to craft your profile to best appeal to publishers is so helpful!

A very helpful tool for those starting out on NetGalley! This toolkit had lots of nice pointers, advice, and information as I am just starting out on NetGalley.

As someone completely new to writing reviews this toolkit is extremely helpful. This toolkit really laid out what I need to do in order to start off successful. Thank you NetGalley!

Lots of great tips! Most of the intro material such as setting up an account and requesting titles was already familiar. Would appreciate more detail on interpreting denials (most are pretty generic and vague but specific examples or prompts for info to include) as well as possible prompts to use when writing reviews.

Loved reading this guide! NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit is written by NetGalley's blog team, We Are Bookish. The guide gave an thorough but easy-to-follow overview of how to use NetGalley to share reviews. I loved the resources on how to share reviews across different platforms, including tips such as hashtags and photo editing apps. Highly recommend to any readers hoping to get better at advocating for books!

Thanks for this helpful guide, Netgalley. I found it concise and well laid out; I felt like the in for graphics made the information easy to take in. I was surprised at how much it covered - the tips for what to keep in mind for each platform were a nice addition. This is a book I expect to refer back to when I’m writing future reviews

A really useful guide and definitely something that I’ll utilise to improve my profile.
I like that it’s broken down into easy to digest chunks and doesn’t suggest lots of really elaborate activity.

Absolutely love this toolkit!
Thank you so much for the great resources!
The formatting is great across platforms too so very easy to use!
