As someone just starting my BookTok journey, I found this handbook to be an incredibly valuable resource. This guide is packed with practical tips and actionable advice, perfect for beginners like myself. It covers everything from setting up your profile to creating engaging content and understanding the algorithm—a must-read for anyone looking to grow their presence online.

What I loved most about the handbook is how easy it is to navigate. The sections are well-organized, allowing me to quickly find the information I need, and I know I'll be coming back to it in the future to refresh my memory on some of the key points they mentioned! :)

Great intro to various social media platforms and tips!
I especially appreciated the pointing out if one social media platform was better than another for your individual tastes.

Great for someone starting out. It gives tips on different platforms, I didn’t see it mention anything about fable which I kinda wish it did since it seems like most are making the switch. if you’re starting out this can definitely give you a jumpstart and getting the ball rolling.

This seems quite useful. I am not an influencer, but I want to understand how I am being manipulated. This gave me a window into the way social media is used in today’s life. It was simple, clear, easily understood, but a bit too much illustration to be taken seriously. I’m old school, and thankfully the content was brief and concise. I didn’t find the large cartoonish illustrations anything but distracting.

Really useful little book of tips. I like how it gives different tips for difficult platforms. It also highlights how you should never tag the author in bad reviews, something everyone should remember

Quick and easy overview of the different bookish social media platforms.

I would have loved a bit more in depth information but that is probably not the aim of this handbook.

This is the ULTIMATE NetGalley guide to reviewing books on social media. Incredibly helpful and informative!

This is a great introduction to the different social media platforms that are available to people who want to discuss books! I like that it includes short descriptions of each one and what it is best used for. I also like that they stress the importance of finding what works for you and not trying to do everything. I also loved that they repeatedly talked about the importance of not tagging authors in negative reviews and how to make your posts more accessible!
