A big thank you to Netgalley for this handbook. It is full of information and I learned a lot thanks to it. It is well structured, full of useful links (and they all work!), and nicely illustrated.
It is a really nice idea to put this guide together because for those of us not so experienced, navigating social media is not an easy challenge.
For me, the highlight in this guide is the platform-specific advice. Extremely valuable.
All the advice is very welcome and this guide is a very good companion to the Book Advocate Toolkit.

What a short and concise guidebook for a beginner lke me. I’ve surely learnt something as small as how to provide review to staying organised in various social media platforms. The handbook provides sections for different platforms so I could focus on which platform that is relevant, with helpful external links that provide more detail explanation. Thank you We Are Bookish for such a helpful handbook!
