Thank you, We Are Bookish for another great guide on how to promote our work on social media.
I found the "NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook" guide to be very helpful and will look into applying the advice going forward!

I really appreciated this guide. I could definitely up my book social media game. This had very practical tips such as how to include images or tagging vs. hashtags. Recommended.

Amazing pointers as always! Took many notes that will be implemented towards my future reviews and platforms

I really love all the materials We Are Bookish creates - whether it's for Camp NetGalley or a Reading Journal or this Social Media Handbook! I'm excited to use it to increase engagement on my Bookstagram and BookTok accounts.

NetGalley's Social Media Handbook is yet another amazing resource! Al the information is presented in a clear and easily digestible way, and it is also very visually appealing! It's clear they've done a lot of research into the various topics they cover. Thank you for the opportunity to read this and review it for free!

A brilliant, easy-to-follow social media guide for book reviewers of all levels. I particularly like that there is guidance specific to different platforms, very handy. Such a useful read for new newbies starting out but still has some good content relevant to anyone who has been reviewing for a while now. Always good to have a refresh and a reminder of things that may have been forgotten.

I appreciate the guide to further help my Instagram! I don't review guides on my Instagram. I believe this is just a formality

NetGalley'sSocial Media Handbook is a great resource to use. book review tips across retail and other platforms are helpful

As someone who uses social media to share books, this is an invaluable toolkit! It's helpful to have tips and tricks to making effect reviews posts on social media!

Great advice for new comers in the book world! They have short, comprehensive advice for each major bookish platform.

This is great! It has a lot of new to info and some stuff I needed to hear again. It was a good refresh to the review burnout for a mood reader is real! Sometimes you need to step back and breathe, regroup and start again!

As an active book content creator, I appreciated the review of tips and resources. I think the most helpful section is the strategies, especially the inclusion of Canva because it really is such an important tool to use on bookstagram. I wish I had learned how to use it when I started two years ago, I’ve only really become good at it the last six months or so. I think this is a great handbook for those new to bookish social media, as well as those with little experience looking to up their game!

A great little online directory on posting reviews on social media, if you’re new to posting or want a refresher, this is a great little tool.
I appreciate how it focuses on decorum as a reviewer, such as not tagging an author in a bad review, or mass following other reviewers just to unfollow (simple things, but some people may need a reminder 😅).
It also provides resources on how to create great posts!

Great tips and resources for starting and maintaining a bookish presence on various social media platforms. Useful ideas (especially for photographs, which I suck at) and links to other resources. Great handbook!

Handy tip book and something I will refer to help with my bookstagram. It easily breaks down each platform and ideal posts and ways to engage.

This is a solid resource for those newer to utilising social media for their bookish pursuits. I found a lot of the information in here to be clear and easy to follow, with great examples. This handbook covers most social media platforms, and highlights do's and don'ts as well as pro tips and general information.
I do think it's a little misleading to say this handbook was for seasoned pros, however. I didn't really learn anything new here, which is a positive in some ways because it indicates being well-versed in ways to make social media work for the platforms I use. However, it also came across as very common sense based, and thus didn't offer me anything to build upon, which is why I opted to pick this up in the first place.
But for the newer users or those confused on how to get further ahead, I could see this handbook being a good choice to pick up, and for that, I appreciate the team who put this together to assist others.

Another great tool for Netgalley users when they want to expand their knowledge of other social media review platforms

This is a great guide for someone who’s just starting out with a bookish social media page, but it also just completely changed my life letting me know the NetGalley shelf app has a read aloud feature!! Cannot wait to use it omg

Very helpful for new book reviewers. I have never aspired to be an influencer so I have not fully grasped the ways to work with the algorithm or get social media engagement. This was a great resource with easy-to-follow steps.

Helpful! I think it definitely helps you get a start in the world of reviewing! I recommend if your new to the Net galley app!
