I regret…..
Not reading this earlier! After reading this handbook I feel so ready and even more excited to start posting my reviews on social media. This provided so many helpful tips and tricks!

As someone who'd like to start reviewing books on social medias, I am truly grateful for this book. The tips provided are succint yet insightful. I realize that this book is not trying to steer reviewers to certain social medias, but it would be great if there were statistics showing the trends in each social media to help me decide on which social media I should try (or at least difficulty level to reach audience in each social media). I accessed this book via NetGalley App and found a persisting issue that the images and certain texts in fancy fonts somehow did not show on my screen - this happened in all pages til the end. I hope this is just a bug specific to my device, otherwise it will be much appreciated if We Are Bookish can help resolving this issue.

Again, many thanks to We Are Bookish for providing this handbook :)

loved it! very informative and helpful, especially for newbies. Highly recommend this one! loved it! very informative and helpful, especially for newbies. Highly recommend this one!

Very helpful guide! I could use more help with time management. I will be a much better book advocate after I retire.

Good resource for reviewers. Packed with information and easily digestible. A recommended read for anyone wanting to review books.

I really like that these handbooks are illustrated, making them more visually appealing and easier to go through.

This is a perfect guide for beginners or even someone who has had social media accounts for a while but doesn't know what isn't working.
It's precise and covers the major social media platforms with specialised tips.

This guide has so much helpful info for someone starting out with bookish social media. I love that there are tips for taking photos and summaries of the different social media platforms. I’ll be putting some of these tips into action right away!

Very helpful and informative! Will suggest to other new NetGalley users like myself. Thank you for this resource. 5/5

This handbook is a solid crash course for book reviewers looking to grow their presence online. I liked that it didn’t just focus on numbers but also emphasized authenticity and community-building.

The layout is clean, the advice is straightforward, and it’s beginner-friendly without feeling too basic. If you’re new to book reviewing or want to step up your social media game, this is a useful guide. Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely a handy resource.

NetGalley's Social Media Handbook from We Are Bookish is a great resource for those new and not so new to using NetGalley and the various platforms of social media. A must read for all.

I’m happy to have learned some tips on setting up my bookish accounts like instagram, YouTube, Goodreads and storygraph

Helpful tips for bookish creators. Some of the pages were difficult to read due to the font and backgrounds colors.

Tons of great tips in this handbook - even for those who've been using social media for years! I currently only use Bookstagram, but will absolutely hang on to this in case I ever decide to explor another social media channel.

I've had my bookstagram for about 5 years so feel pretty established now but this book would have been so helpful in the beginning. Some of it is common sense - like don't tag authors in negative reviews, but some is so helpful. I love how all the data was laid out - very easy to follow and reference. I love how it included links for more resources - the canva 101 was beneficial for me! Overall, this was a great resource and I recommend to beginners and seasoned book fans!
Thank you to netgalley for a copy. Opinions are my own.

Very informative on how to use social media to promote upcoming books, and getting the word out a the new release and encouraging viewers to preorder books.

If you're trying to become a book influencer, this is a great resource to start off with! I especially appreciate how they lay out all of the different platforms to consider and give advice on each. So far, I've only been active on bookstagram and booktok, but I've been thinking about potentially expanding to booktube and having my own book blog. This was so helpful to contextualize how much work it will be, how each platform differs, and how you can re-use content with minor adjustments so you don't burn out. Highly recommend to any new and upcoming reviewers looking to have more of a social media presence!

This is a really helpful guide! I’m new to reviewing ARCs and wanted to know more about social media tips. Thank you

The NetGalley Social Media Handbook really helped me get a clear idea of how to navigate the bookish social media world. As someone who’s passionate about sharing book recommendations, I’ve always felt a bit overwhelmed by all the platforms and strategies out there. But this guide gave me practical tips and insights that felt really personal and relatable. It’s not just about growing an audience; it’s about connecting with fellow book lovers and creating meaningful engagement. The advice on building a community and staying authentic to your voice made me feel much more confident in my approach to social media. Whether you’re a seasoned bookstagrammer or just starting out, this handbook is a must-read for anyone wanting to create a genuine and supportive bookish space online.

This is such a great resource! It has helped me be more effective on social media! The tips were easy to understand and implement.

As someone who struggles to stay consistent with bookstagram, I really appreciate this resource. I've been considering moving to a blog instead, but now I'll take some time to follow some of the tips included in this guide before making a decision.

Thanks, NetGalley! All opinions are my own.
