📖 Inhalt & Nutzen: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Das Book Advocate Toolkit von NetGalley ist ein fantastisches Hilfsmittel für alle, die ihre Buchleidenschaft gezielter einsetzen möchten – ganz gleich, ob man neu bei NetGalley ist oder schon länger aktiv dabei. Die überarbeitete Edition überzeugt mit einer sehr klaren Struktur, praxisnahen Tipps und einer angenehmen Lesbarkeit.

Besonders hilfreich finde ich die Themenvielfalt: Von der optimalen Profilerstellung über die Erhöhung der Feedback-Rate bis hin zu hilfreichen Tipps für das Schreiben von Rezensionen (auch bei weniger begeisternden Leseerfahrungen) – alles wird verständlich und motivierend vermittelt. Es fühlt sich an wie ein persönlicher Leitfaden für den erfolgreichen Umgang mit NetGalley.

Was dieses Toolkit von anderen allgemeinen „Tippsammlungen“ unterscheidet, ist der klare Praxisbezug.

Who knew NetGalley had so many features? From publisher approval references to how to structure reviews, this toolkit was wonderfully concise and informative.

On the section of structuring reviews, it gives an annotated review example which I needed because tips only go so far.
