This is an informational download as it covers the essentials of how to provide feedback as a reviewer of books and audiobooks. It offers a variety of resources on how to publish your reviews and gives tips if utilizing social media, i.e., camera, lighting, etc. I would love to see other variations of this journal as I can see other structures of the journal being beneficial for myself or others as well. I do want to thank "We Are Bookish" and #NetGalley for providing this asset to us readers.

This was a really helpful guide on how to post effective book reviews, how each review platform works, and how to change posts for each platform! I felt like I understood reviewing already, but I learned several new things after browsing through this guide. I will definitely be utilizing this guide for future reviews to best serve the books and authors I am accepted for advanced reader copies!

I am new to bookstagram and NetGalley and found this this guide very useful on how to get started, using the app, improving my bio and how to plan writing reviews. I love the infographics which make it much easier to follow and refer to in the future.

What a great find! I am new to NetGalley and Bookstagram so the hints and suggestions are exactly what I need.

A perfect overview over all the available review and interaction spaces there are for readers! Since i already kind of decided on my platform (Bookstagram) there weren’t any big news revealed to me, but i might check back on different chapters in this guide whenever i’ll feel like maybe starting a BookTok or BookTube account.

I feel like this guide is perfect for review beginners or someone who isn’t sure which platform suits them best.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookish for this guide.
This helpful guide is invaluable, and definitely gives us all some needed pointers!

As an example, I thought my reviews initially were far TOO brief, so I began adding more detailed information to my reviews. Although in the reviews we post here and on retail sites such reviews might be appreciated or add value, your reminder that concise meaningful reviews on social forums are a better choice.

Thank you. Netgalley (requesting, ready, and reviewing books,) has quickly become my new favorite hobby.

I am working hard to get my review ratio to the 80% expectation/goal, and soon I will begin a book blog site that I can promote for broader book (and Netgalley exposure).

I also found the "Dos" and "Don'ts" guidance chart to provide useful information I had not considered.

Personally, I will print out a copy and keep it for reference when posting reviews in the future.

As enthusiastic 5 star rating for this enormously helpful guide!

However, although the details may be fine for fans or on certain forums such as retail, this guide

This is a great resource for those such as myself just starting out in the Net Galley reviewing process. I will probably refer to many times in the future.. Reviewing books has a learning curve and this is a step in that process. .
