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!

This handbook has so many tips for those new to posting reviews on social media, as well as those who are already experienced. I've many reviewing books for many years, but am fairly new to Instagram, so I always appreciate tips on how to manage my account better. I would have loved to have had this when I first started Bookstagram, but am glad to have it now.
The only thing that would make it better is if there was a Kindle-compatible version to make it easier to go back to refer to.

Got lots of great ideas and tips from this handbook. I learned how to adjust my review on NetGalley to one ready for Goodreads. Lots of great ideas for beginners and even seasoned bookstagrammers. I will reference this handbook periodically. I’ve had questions recently about starting a blog and this handbook provided me some much needed guidance, Thank you NetGalley

This guide provides some great tips and instructions for how to successfully review books using social media. It includes information on instagram, TikTok, blogs, review platforms (Goodreads and story graph) and a few others. I like how each section gives a list of dos and don't along with specific tips. This would be great for anyone just getting started as a book reviewer or even a seasoned reviewer.

Thank you NetGalley for this guide. Super helpful hints and tips, in bitesize peices, making it easy to follow.

This was a very useful and quick tool guide about social media. It spans from which social media can be best for us, how we can get started, do's and dont's, how to write reviews on each platform. It was very clear and well structured. I have hugely appreciated it and I highly recommend it to starters.

This was a super quick but very informative read! It has a lot of great pointers to implement for all sorts of different social media sites to generate a positive discourse over books with whatever audience the person may have. Some do’s and dont’s that were very on point. This is very much geared for beginners looking to start a page of their own on their desired platform. I can say having had my page for a couple of years now, I find the do’s and dont’s to be noteworthy and accurate bits of info. I enjoyed how it was formatted and easy to read quickly.

This was a really cool, informative look at social media for the bookstagrammer. I really enjoyed the tips and have been able to implement them very quickly!

Thank you netgalley for sharing this with us! I love the tips and tricks given to help me grow what I love!

This is a great handbook for bookish social media tips! I'm sure that it will be very helpful to use for my bookstagram!! :)

This is a great resource to help guide you in using Netgalley and social media with best practices and hot tips, this has everything you need to start your Netgalley journey!

A very concise but useful crash course on how to approach the book communities on social media! Great tips for each platform and some lovely screenshots and examples shown! I’ll definitely be keeping these in mind as I continue trying to grow my accounts!

Thank you for this pocket guide! It’s really clear and way to read and follow with useful tips and tricks. I’ll definitely refer back to it! One for newcomers to the bookstagram or book review world. Great 🙌🏻

A great handbook for readers who want to create a social media account for book content but do not know where to start. This would have been very helpful when I started my Bookstagram. It provided tips for starting the major social media platforms: Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The format is easy to use and the flow of the content made sense. A new or expert book reviewer can utilize the handbook for suggestions.

Super helpful guide to those starting their reviewing platform! It had some tips that I had never considered as a veteran bookstagrammer. Will definitely be keeping this in my pocket for future use!

This was a pretty good book for online reviewing and blogging, and it includes some good tips for those who wish to review books.
I received a complimentary e-book from We Are Bookish through Netgalley.
I was not required to write a positive review, and the thoughts above are my own.
