NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish

5.0

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved this book!

The format of the information is short and sweet but very informative. The pages have such a good visual layout. They mostly look like post-it notes or notepad paper on pale backgrounds. This was very refreshing and made a great change to the usual black text on white paper. I have a condition called visual stress, it makes it harder to read on high-contrast backgrounds, so the change in tones was highly appreciated.

The book contains basic tips across a variety of topics. I've read a lot of the book blogging help articles on the NetGalley blog, so I was concerned that this book might just repeat that information, but it didn't. There were links to useful NetGalley articles with further information at the end of the pages. I really liked this because it gave me a resource to follow for areas I wanted to learn more about.

The actual writing was very easy to follow. Everything was explained nicely and I honestly think anyone would be able to follow their tips. For example, I think even someone who is not very good at social media would be able to follow their social media guides.

I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to write book reviews, regardless of the platform you're on. Even if you don't use NetGalley, there are still a lot of great tips and tricks. I found the social media section particularly useful because that's the area I'm the least confident in.
