NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook is a wonderful guide to using several different social media platforms to share and review books. The graphics are aesthetically pleasing and easy to read. The booklet is very informative and concise. It is easy to go back and find specific information as needed. Overall it is a great point of reference!

Such a great and comprehensive social media handbook. Detailed advice for different platforms and the things you need to consider for each. Very nice!

We Are Bookish's Social Media Handbook is a great resource to help newbies as well as veterans navigate the bookish side of social media. The Handbook is well-organized, clearly written, and straightforward. I've used social media for most of my life, but I still found so many tips in this guide incredibly helpful! I really appreciated how the Handbook broke down how to optimize each platform, sharing tips on how and when to cross-post content to save time and energy! Finally, I also appreciated that there was a section on Accessibility. Thank you to NetGalley for sharing!

This handbook was extremely helpful. I've been sharing my view on books for years but had not really thought of how doing it in writing for a social media audience would be different. I'm grateful for the tips and tricks. I'm an academic writer by trade and it was very freeing to be encouraged to find my own voice and use it. I'm going to keep this handbook on my computer and reference it regularly. Thanks, NetGalley for putting the time, effort and thought into creating it!

This is a clear and easy to read handbook of good tips and tricks for reviewers. While most of the information I thought was pretty basic, it would be helpful who is just starting out in the bookish space. I would love to see a part two or a more advanced version of this.

Thank you NetGalley for this amazing free tool for those wanting to expand our social media presence!
Full of tips and tricks that any social media influencer can use.

This Social Media Handbook gives a good overview of the different social media platforms you can share content on and which platform is best for different styles os content. I really enjoyed this Handbook, it delivered the information in a simple, easy to follow way and was very visually appealing while giving great advice. If you're new to sharing your content on social media, or writing reviews, this is definitely worth reading!

A very helpful guide to promoting books on social media. I particularly liked the different information on how to use each different social media app, and am looking forward to trying the advice on my own accounts.

Great guide, very helpful when it came to writing my first review! I really appreciate the detail that was put into the guide and it covered all social media outlets, which was especially nice. It's comprehensive, but also very easy to follow!

This was a great handbook for reference, whether new or experienced social media influencer/bookstagramer. Thank you, We Are Bookish!

NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook by We Are Bookish was informative and helpful in guiding my NetGalley journey! Thank you for sharing this to users

Another extremely well written and useful Handbook from NetGalley. One I will dip in into from time to time. Thank you

Until I read through NETGALLEY'S SOCIAL MEDIA HANDBOOK, I lived a Rube Goldberg conception of how the different social media platforms operate and how best to utilize them to communicate, advocate, and inform. This grounded guide makes me a better reviewer and recommender. I received a copy of this guide and these are my own unbiased opinions.

This social media guide is an excellent resource for not only book reviewers beginning their social media journey, but also for seasoned veterans who want to refine their content.
What is particularly helpful is that the book is tailored for use on advice for multiple social media platforms, such as TikTok, Instagram and Goodreads.
I would definitely recommend to others.

This is a resource on how to use Netgalley well, tips on what to do and not when starting out to write good reviews, and tips on how to start out and grow a bookish platform. It covers the various social media sites, focusing on Booktok, Bookstagram, Booktube, and Goodreads, with helpful info on what works best on each platform, and how you can save time while adjusting your content and reviews to best suit the general audience in each. It also covers general etiquette with reviews.
Highly recommend if you’re new to Netgalley or trying to grow a bookish platform!
Thanks to Netgalley and We Are Bookish for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This handbook is great for beginners who know basically nothing about developing a following. If you asked me a month ago if I had any interest in expanding where I post reviews, I'd have told you no. But this teenie little Social Media pdf has the wheels turning in my head. Also, there's great tips like keeping your name the same across all of your accounts or using a tool to help you stay organized and plan your posts better (ex: Trello). It's something that feels like common sense but it can be quite easy to forget or not think about in the moment.
Highly recommend this to any beginner. Especially if you're feeling overwhelmed! 10/10 will read again.

A quick and easy guide to setting up social media channels for sharing book reviews. It's very visual and a quick read, but I wish I didn't have to get almost to the end to find the social media guidelines for sharing reviews, like the FTC statement, ARC approvals, and where to look for hashtags. I would assume most people approved to review on here already have at least one social media platform, so I was hoping for more tips than how to start an Instagram account or what TikTok is.

This book is really great if you're new to book reviewing and or if you just want to improve your reviews. It tells you exactly how to improve your skills and I have found it to be quite helpful. Everyone who is new to NetGalley or other reviewing platforms should definitely read this book.

A great and handy guide for users! It’s very detailed and easy to understand, and it includes plenty of useful resources. Personally, I create my content using a different system and software, but having that Canva guide will certainly come in handy!

This is a must read for anyone who wants to post reviews. It is full of usefully advice for the most used social media sights. If you have been wondering how to be a successful reviewer I would recommend this book.
