I 100% recommend reading this if you are new to reviewing books. It gave great advice on how to be more appealing to publishers as well as advice on posting on social media.

Not only was this toolkit very helpful for requesting e-arcs and creating bookish content on multiple platforms, it also got me really excited to start my book advocate journey! If you are an arc reader, have a Bookstagram, BookTok, or Goodreads account, this is a must read! The information is clear, succinct, and relevant. I highly recommend this resource to anyone who wants to become a book advocate and/or book blogger.

This is such a great toolkit for getting started with Netgalley. I was reviewing books pretty regularly and then I stopped and recently started again. I really wish I would have read this again before I started requesting book. It was really easy to see that I got over eager and requested books that I probably would have gotten declined for or that didn't really have a good timeframe for review. There are great tips on writing reviews, promoting social media, and blogging. If you're just getting started or getting back into reviewing ARCs this is a great way to learn how to get started with NetGalley.

This book is a helpful tool for those just getting started on NetGalley. It would be helpful if this book was recommended/provided immediately to NetGalley members when they sign up not located later in the tips section.

Useful overview of how NetGalley works as well as tips on how to create content and build up a social media presence if you’re interested in getting into the bookish social media world. I was expecting a large text document so I was pleasantly surprised to find an Infograph-style document.

I'm sitting here wishing that I'd read this toolkit before I got started on this NetGalley adventure because I have DEFINITELY fallen into the book request frenzy and having read this, I understand why this may not have been the best idea. 😂

Luckily, there are a whole host of other tips, tricks and resources shared in this toolkit, so whether you're just getting started or you're wanting to refresh/recalibrate your experience, this is absolutely worth reading a few times, and then having a good go at implementing what's recommended. Remembering that all the experimentation and exploration will help you discover what best aligns with your goals and your style.

Thank you NetGalley for making this resource available!
